This Oahu wedding felt like the kind of love story that proves the universe occasionally gets things very right.
Christa and Tye met on Hinge in August 2023 while both balancing the demands of student life, and somehow built something beautiful in the middle of it all. Since then, they welcomed their baby boy and celebrated countless milestones together. Tye later proposed at the top of the Makapuʻu Lighthouse Trail, overlooking the ocean that has always felt like home to Christa.
Returning to Hawaiʻi to say “I do” at Lanikuhonua Cultural Institute made the day especially meaningful. Surrounded by family, familiar landscapes, and the place where so many of Christa’s memories began was so beautiful to witness.
As the sun dipped lower on Oahu’s west side, the ceremony was wrapped in the kind of golden light photographers dream about. The warm glow stretched across the coastline, illuminating every smile, happy tear, and stolen glance between the newlyweds.
After the ceremony, Christa and Tye slipped away to the beach for intimate couples portraits along the shoreline. The waves rolled in behind them and the last golden rays of sunlight reflected across the water. They had a quiet moment to soak in the reality of being newly married.
There was something incredibly special about watching these two begin their next chapter together in a place filled with so much personal significance. Between raising their son and pursuing their career goals, Christa and Tye are building a beautiful future together.
Congratulations to Christa and Tye on your beautiful wedding day and the wonderful life you are building together!
