This luminous Oahu destination wedding featured the sweeping views of Papailoa Beach and a couple worth swooning over!

Eleven years ago, Brittany & Timothy crossed paths during Cinco De Mayo–and it was truly a party worth celebrating! The auspicious day not only marked Brittany’s Sweet Sixteen… but it was also the day their love story began…

While the couple originally planned to have an Oahu beach elopement, they were ecstatic when they discovered their closest family would be joining them on the white sand for their Special Day!

Just as Brittany’s 16th birthday was a day to remember, this couple’s Hawaii beach wedding will be forever cherished. Embraced by loved ones and kissed by the Hawaiian sun, Brittany and Timothy shine bright against the glistening sea.

We love how this couple subtly blends traditional styles with a drop of personalized flair. Draped in a pleated skirt and plunging neckline, Brittany elegantly blends demure simplicity with a hint of bodacious spice.

And Timothy’s sporty footwear brings a playful touch to the crisp lines of his classic tux.

And on this very special day, Brittany and Timothy didn’t let 3,898 miles separate them from their fur-baby. Following the suggestion of Brittany’s sister, this couple came up with an ingenious way to include their canine loved one!

We can’t get enough of these spectacular shots! The north-west lighting of Papailoa beach sweeps romantic hues across the backdrop, reminiscent of impressionist masterworks.

It was our pleasure, Brittany & Timothy, to help make your Oahu destination wedding dreams come true. We wish you an abundance of days worth celebrating in the years ahead!

A gentle mist blessed the valley during the spirited Oahu beach wedding of Michelle and Hanna-Klara. We were honored to capture the sweet and endearing love that shines from this beautiful young couple. 

With the Secret Island of Kualoa Ranch setting the stage, the ceremony was feminine with a splash of tropical allure and foggy mystery. Endless blooms of coconut palms and local greenery painted the shoreline, while the calm ocean lapped gracefully in the foreground. It all served as the perfect canvas to capture the tender affection that filled this whimsical Oahu wedding.  

Before setting sail to Secret Island, the couple shared a few intimate moments on the floating dock, rocking to-and-fro with the pulse of the ocean. Does it get more romantic?

The ceremony was ordained over by the talented Kahu Kawena Mechler. She began the union with a traditional Hawaiian chant, and the guests fell into a silent reverie as they soaked in the melody, the oasis-like venue, and the tranquil love between the brides.

Michelle guided Hanna through the Jewish tradition of glass breaking as her proud father took pictures of the joyous occasion.

We loved the thoughtful touch of the two overlapping rainbows on the silken sack. It was a perfect way to commemorate both family heritage and the LGBTQIA community.

This stunning capture looks as if it was freshly painted. Two lovely women donned in white dresses carrying bouquets and parasols, all set against the aquamarine sea… did we just stumble into a Monet?

As an end to the beautiful day, the couple shared their first dance on the wooden dock, swaying to the music and the rhythm of the ocean.

Thank you for sharing your Special Day with us, Michelle and Hanna… we wish you the fondest aloha in the years to come…

It could not have been a more perfect evening for an Oahu Wedding. Raquel and Alex traveled to Oahu from California for their beach wedding and we are so happy that they got the most amazing weather and beautiful light for photography.

It’s pretty obvious that these two are very loved. They had 21 people travel to be there and witness their wedding ceremony. With good friends standing nearby they said “I do” with the sound of the waves crashing in the background.

After the ceremony, they had so much fun posing with their crew then enjoying the view together as husband and wife. They had plans to head to the Marriott at nearby Ko’olina and keep the celebration going!

The Location

Yokohama bay is the most remote Oahu Beach Wedding Location we offer, but we feel like it’s also the most beautiful and dramatic. Its location on the west side of the island means lovely consistent weather and gorgeous sunsets. The fact that it is also surrounded by towering green mountains is just icing on the (wedding) cake!

Many of our couples and their guests choose to stay in the resort area of Ko’olina which is about 15 miles away rather than the much further and more popular resort area of Waikiki. We think this is a smart option, at least for the day of your wedding as traffic can be a challenge to this location and the pace of Ko’olina is much more relaxed and a perfect place to start a romantic honeymoon. Which is exactly what Raquel and Matt planned to do starting the next day!

Thank you, Raquel and Alex, for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding to be a part of your awesome celebration!

Coming from New Mexico, Rebecca and Robert were so excited to get married surrounded by loved ones at their Oahu Destination Wedding! It was especially touching to see our bride’s 14-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter there celebrate with them. Intimate weddings are so sweet to be a part of, and we are so glad we could help plan this couple’s special day!

After the ceremony, it was time to sign the marriage license and make it official! As Rebecca and Robert were sealing the deal, we couldn’t help but smile noticing their guests taking in the beauty of Waimanalo Bay Beach 🙂 . One thing’s for sure, this is a day none of them will forget! We know we sure won’t.

We love when our clients decide to have an Oahu Trash the Dress after an Oahu Beach Wedding, because it makes for a truly memorable experience! And Deborah and Zachary’s special day was no exception. For starters their ceremony was truly beautiful as they gathered with their closest loved ones at Waimanalo Bay Beach! But our favorite part about working with these two, was getting to hear the story of how they met and fell in love 🙂 .

Deborah and Zachary’s Love Story

They actually met in the marines! Our bride has been a marine for 18 years and our groom has been in it for 8 years. However they only met 1 year ago! And Zach started saving for a ring within 3 months of meeting Deborah. She knew he was the one after seeing how well he interacted with her twins, Kendra and Jude. Who were both at the wedding and able to participate in the ceremony!

Their Oahu Beach Wedding was all about family and the love they all have for each other! And then the following day our sister company met back up with our newlyweds for an Oahu Trash the Dress session. Which was the perfect way for this couple to start married life!

Thank you, Deborah and Zachary, for sharing this special time in your life with Simple Oahu Wedding! We seriously had the best time with you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness together. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Being part of Lin and Man’s Oahu Venue Wedding was truly inspiring and memorable. We still can’t get over their sweet relationship! From the moment our bride made her entrance, it was easy to see just by the look on our groom’s face that she makes him the happiest man in the world! And it’s safe to say Lin feels the same way about Man 🙂 .

Our Bride’s Styling

Plus it’s no wonder why Man couldn’t take his eyes off of Lin throughout their Oahu Venue Wedding! I mean just look at her. In a stunning full wedding gown with a half veil and a custom bouquet to complete her look, she was seriously radiant! And we are in love with the half updo our friends at Reveal Hair and Make-up designed to keep Lin’s hair out of her face while still showcasing beautiful long curls.

Thank you, Lin and Man, for sharing such a special morning with Simple Oahu Wedding! We had the best time celebrating with you and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Michelle and Mike kept their Oahu Elopement at Paradise Cove a complete surprise from family and friends! Eloping is always special and we love this idea. How fun to head into marriage with no one but the two of you as the focus (or even in on it)!

• 

• 

After meeting 2 years ago at work, these two were so excited to come to Hawaii for the first time together for their Paradise Cove Oahu Elopement! Michelle and Mike had both visited separately before, and we’re confident this won’t be the last of their trips to the island! Thank you, Michelle and Mike, for sharing your special day with us. We wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Jessica and Ben’s Oahu Beach Wedding was full of love and emotion! The smile on our bride’s face as she was escorted by her mother, said it all. It’s obvious these two are head over heels for each other. And we can’t get over how our groom got emotional!

• 

• 

This was Jessica’s first time to Hawaii, but not Ben’s, and we’re confident they will be back many times over the years! They even flew to Maui the night of their wedding to start their honeymoon, so now two of Hawaii’s islands hold a special place in their hearts 🙂 . And we are just so glad we could be part of making their Oahu Beach Wedding a reality!

• 

So thank you, Jessica and Ben, for sharing such a beautiful occasion with us. It was an honor working with you both and we wish you a lifetime of happiness as husband and wife! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!
