Lindsay & Matthew’s wedding in Oahu was so beautiful, and their love story warms our hearts. Rev. Kimo officiated a faith-based ceremony for the sweet couple, who were joined by a small group of family. When they started planning their wedding, they dreamed of a relaxing event in a beautiful setting. We are so glad we could help make that happen for them!

And now it’s time to reveal some of their gorgeous photos! We’re so excited to relive Lindsay & Matthew’s special day!

“I Do” Again

Lindsay & Matthew had a wedding in Oahu 13 years ago. Since then, they have had two adorable children who are their pride and joy. But they also experienced challenges that led them down different paths. Some things are simply meant to be, though. And so, as they grew up, they also grew to find themselves in love again.

Now they returned to Hawaii to marry again, this time with a better understanding of themselves and each other. We’ve seen a lot of great couples, and we can tell when a love is extra special. Lindsay & Matthew have an extra special bond that is made to weather the storms and bring joy to the entire family.

We’re so glad we witnessed this ceremony and this incredible relationship.

Sacred Vows at Secret Island

Secret Island is one of our favorite Oahu wedding venues. It’s a private sandy beach at Kualoa Ranch. It features calm water, tall palm trees, and scenic mountain views. This location is so secluded that you must take a special ferry to the ceremony site. What a magical way to bookend your wedding in Oahu!

After their ceremony, Lindsay & Matthew took some portraits around the venue. There are so many great photo ops at Secret Island that we could have stayed for hours. But before long, it was time to send the newlyweds off to celebrate. So we got some final shots of them at the ferry landing and bid them a warm aloha!

Congratulations, Lindsay & Matthew. We are so grateful for this chance to be a part of your Magical Oahu Venue Wedding!

Last week we got to meet Valeria & Joshua for their Oahu Beach Wedding, and it was such a great time! We didn’t see a lot of sunlight peeking from the overcast skies, but the sweet couple lit up the entire beach with their laughter and love.

Valeria’s sister walked her down the beach-style aisle, and Joshua was all smiles when he saw the stunning bride for the first time. Of course, Karma Hill Photography was there to capture every moment! Keep scrolling to check out some of their beautiful portraits!

We are obsessed with Valeria’s style – it’s the ultimate Oahu Beach Wedding Inspiration. Her off-shoulder gown was both beachy and formal with its lace detailing and classic cut. We love that she had her hair pulled back in a chic up-do. That way if we did have any rain or wind, her hair was ready to stay in place.

The Rustic Hawaiian Bouquet looked fantastic with her bridal look. It lent her dress a tropical touch and added a pop of color to the pastel setting.

Our favorite thing about Valeria’s look was her newlywed happiness! Valeria and Joshua bring out the best in one another, and they both looked incredible on their wedding day!

Congratulations, Valeria & Joshua! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Above all, you’ll fall in love with how charming this sunset affair is, so keep scrolling to see it for yourself.

Wai’alae Beach Park was the location for this wedding, and this spot provided us with beautiful scenery. The lofty palm trees, beige sand, and vivid greenery created an enchanting backdrop. Then enhancing the dreamy ambiance was the sun’s soft glow as it set on the horizon!

Why We Love Their Oahu Destination Wedding

Simple and relaxed are two words we’d use to describe this event! Chao and the seventeen guests were the first to arrive. Then, when she was ready, Cindy made her grand entrance! Once it was time to begin the ceremony, Kahu Dennis Chong-Imamura performed a heartwarming sermon. During his speech, Karma Hill Photography captured every look of adoration and monumental moment between our passionate pair! 

Lastly, we adore how sophisticated and classic Cindy and Chao dressed. Cindy is a gorgeous bride! Her hair and makeup are glamorous, while her lace gown is chic. Then Chao’s khaki suit is beachy but traditional. Most importantly, his attire complements Cindy’s looks perfectly!

Our Couple’s Story

Cindy and Chao’s story began when they met at a concert through mutual mates. Our delightful duo bonded over food! One year into their friendship, they began dating. Then, on January 26, 2020, Chao proposed to Cindy in Key West, Florida. He rented a sailboat and popped the question while the sun was setting. Cindy says it was magical! 

This adventurous duo is a pair of foodies! One of the reasons they decided to have an Oahu destination wedding was the variety of cuisine options. We hope you guys got a delicious taste of the island!
