Mauka & Makai – Alexis & Kelvin’s Oahu Elopement

We are excited to share the story of Alexis and Kelvin’s Oahu elopement! There are love stories that unfold in bustling cities, or quiet bookstores, or beneath a starry sky—and then there’s Alexis and Kelvin. Whose story began… at a high school lunch table in Wisconsin. (Because, obviously, all great modern-day romances start with “Can I sit here?”)

They were 15. They started dating before driver’s licenses, before taxes, before the big responsibilities of life came. And over the past decade, through the awkward growing-up years and the “how are we adulting?” milestones, their relationship has only grown stronger.

In May 2022, they took a dreamy dog-filled trip to Colorado, where Kelvin proposed at Rocky Mountain National Park. There were mountains, emotion, and, we assume, at least one excited tail wag. And now their big day has finally arrived…

Alexis, a pet groomer currently studying marketing and social media management, tapped Kelvin on the shoulder for their first look. When he turned around and saw her? Let’s just say the sun wasn’t the only thing glowing.

Kelvin, a software developer, looked completely enchanted. The kind of face that says: “Wow, I’m about to marry the love of my life in paradise, and also, how did I get so lucky?”

A Dream Come True

So when it came time to plan their Oahu elopement, they knew they wanted something that felt like them: simple, heartfelt, and naturally beautiful. Enter: their ceremony at Kualoa Beach Park. With its dramatic mountains on one side and turquoise ocean on the other, it offered exactly the backdrop they’d dreamed of, lush, beachy, and utterly cinematic.

The ceremony was intimate and filled with laughter. No pomp, no stress, just two people promising forever under the Hawaiian sun, barefoot and beaming. And because this is Alexis and Kelvin we’re talking about, they eventually, at the end, kicked off their shoes and waded into the waves like the beachy romantics they are.

Their Oahu elopement photos? The light was airy and full of joy. The kind of photos that make you want to frame every single one, even if you’re not in them. From the soft kiss in the shallows to the playful splash-and-laugh moments, every frame captured the ease and affection that defines their love.

We’re still not over Alexis’s effortless beauty or how they looked so at home, together on a beach thousands of miles from Wisconsin. Because when a place this magical meets a couple this genuine, well… you get something truly unforgettable.

Congratulations, Alexis and Kelvin! Your Oahu elopement was pure magic, romantic, sunny, and full of the kind of love that’s been growing since algebra class. We’re so honored to have captured this chapter of your story! Mahalo for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding!
