Have you ever heard of high school sweethearts who went the distance and got married? Well, that’s exactly what happened with Josh and Samantha! They met in World History class in high school, and after almost a decade together, they tied the knot at their Oahu venue wedding!

Samantha was in love with the island when she visited with her mom, and she thought, “I’d love to get married here one day!” Since Josh’s family has roots in Oahu, he and Samantha knew it was the perfect place to celebrate their love story. It was the icing on the cake, and a dream come true!

Their big day at Paradise Cove was an intimate and laid-back affair, full of love and happiness. The fresh green and tropical colors of their beach wedding perfectly complemented the island’s natural splendor.

As they exchanged their vows on the sandy beach surrounded by their loved ones, Josh and Samantha looked so natural and at ease. Their love shines through every photograph from their wedding day!

After their sweet Oahu venue wedding ceremony, our happy newlyweds snuck off with our photographer to capture a few inimate moments by the water’s edge. Samantha and Josh are so ready for their future together after almost ten years of dating! (A lot of that was long distance too!) Once Josh is finished his commitment to the Air Force, they are hoping to move back closer to family to start a family! But for now, they embraced the present moment and their newlywed bliss!

Congratulations to Samantha and Josh, and here’s to many more years of love and joy together! We are so happy to have made your dream Hawaii wedding come true!

Let’s raise a toast to the beautiful love story of Dave and Emmanuelle and their Oahu elopement, a celebration of life and love in all its simplicity and beauty! Our sweet couple met at work, both working for the government, and they share a love for travel and cherishing every moment in life, whether simple or exceptional. But their Oahu elopement was both simple and exceptional in our eyes!

Emmanuelle fell in love with Oahu during a trip in 2019, and it was no surprise they chose it as the perfect destination for their wedding! So when it came to planning their special day, they wanted to make sure to include an element of the Hawaiian culture in their ceremony! Their beach nuptials was relaxed, easy, and beautiful…

More Than Anything

Their Oahu elopement was a beautiful celebration of their love and just for them. “She’s all that I need; I love my future wife,” Dave told our wedding coordinators! In the early days of their relationship, while Dave always valued marriage, although Emmanuelle wasn’t always so sure, but he proposed, and she said yes! That’s when you know you’ve met the one!

The entire day was simple, elegant, relaxed, intimate, and original, with a touch of Hawaiian culture, making it a perfect reflection of who they are. Kualoa Beach was dreamy with its calm shores and salty breeze. The two of them radiated with joy and happiness as they exchanged their vows! Even though they have a blended family, this was their moment…a new beginning as husband and wife!

One of the things our newlyweds adore about Hawaii is the tropical scenery and natural splendor! This moment felt like just the two of them in paradise with love all around. The simplicity and beauty of the natural surroundings were all these two needed when it came to committing their hearts to each other. Simple and beautiful is what we do best! We are honored to be a part of this beautiful moment in their lives!

Congratulations, Dave and Emmanuelle! May you have many more years together, full of love, peace, and happiness! Enjoy your honeymoon!

At Simple Maui Wedding, we are all about celebrating life’s big moments of love and happiness! So we were delighted to coordinate Angeline and Rob’s special Oahu beach wedding. Not only was it a sacred commitment of their love, but it was also a celebration of their baby girl on the way! They had been engaged for almost a year and were excited to tie the knot before their little baby girl arrives. And they also were planning to spend their honeymoon in Hawaii too!

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and after realizing how much work and money it took, they decided to go with the easiest and most carefree option – eloping in Hawaii! They turned their trip into a wedding/honeymoon/babymoon combo, which was the perfect way to start their new adventure together!

Although it was a tough decision to exclude their family and friends from the wedding day, they knew it was the right choice for them! They still plan to celebrate with all their loved ones back home with a party. Plus, their intimate beach wedding was incredibly special and allowed them to focus solely on each other and their love. It was casual, carefree, and relaxed…

They exchanged their heartfelt vows at Kualoa Beach Park, and it was a beautiful and breezy day. The stunning backdrop of the ocean and China Man’s Hat added even more magic to their Oahu beach wedding. They looked so happy and head over heels in love, which made our job as wedding photographers even more enjoyable!

Angeline and Rob are the epitome of happiness and ease in their Oahu beach wedding photos! They look so incredibly happy and in love with each other, and their excitement for their growing family is palpable. The joy and anticipation they feel for their future together radiates from their photos and is truly heartwarming!

With You By My Side

The romantic newlywed portraits in the ocean are simply breathtaking! The stunning blues and greens of the water perfectly complement their love and joy, creating a truly magical moment.

It’s clear that they’re absolutely in love with each other in the way they gaze into each other’s eyes and share tender kisses. At the same time, the photos also showcase their playful side as they splash and laugh together in the water. This was their time to enjoy each other in the moment and look toward their future! They couldn’t look happier!

Congratulations, Angeline and Rob! We hope you had an amazing day! Best of luck in your future together as you wait for your baby girl’s arrival! Enjoy your honeymoon!

When it comes to love, Michael and Lea are the perfect embodiment of fun, goofy, hardworking, and adventurous. After all they had been through, their big day had finally arrived; their Oahu beach wedding!

As they were planning their special day, Michael and Lea knew they wanted something more memorable, simple, and exciting. That’s when Michael came up with the brilliant idea of getting married in Oahu, a place they had always dreamt of visiting for their honeymoon! (We loved the sound of that!) Re-live their beautiful day with us through this beautiful collection of photos…

A Dream Come True

Their love story has been six years in the making, but for these love birds, their love journey has just begun! After overcoming life’s challenges and long-distance dating, their relationship only grew stronger. (A sign of true love!) Fast forward to this incredible moment when they exchanged their vows on the beach, with the sound of the ocean waves lapping on the shore. It couldn’t have been more idyllic!

As they said, “I do,” we could see the love and adoration radiating from both of them. It is evident they are head over heels in love and so excited to begin this new chapter in their lives together!

A Tropical Dream Come True

It was just the two of them at their ceremony at Kualoa Beach Park, and the moment’s gravity was felt in every way possible. Their Oahu beach wedding was filled with love, laughter, and pure happiness. It was an honor to capture these precious moments for them! From the tender moments during the ceremony to the playful shots taken afterward, every photo captured the essence of their love story.

Lea looked stunning in her lace gown! (Ensuring Michael didn’t get a sneak peek before the big moment!) After their relaxed and inimate ceremony, these two were ready to celebrate as newlyweds and couldn’t stop smiling throughout…these lovebirds have never been to Hawaii before, so it all felt so surreal!

We couldn’t be happier for Michael and Lea; we know how much this day meant to you both! Congratulations from all of us at Simple Oahu Wedding! May you have a lifetime of adventure, happiness, and love with your pup Rita!

We always get excited for a Kualoa Ranch Secret Island Wedding! This dreamy spot is far away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and feels incredibly serene. Last week, Jason & Jodie had a stunning wedding at this spot, and we loved every moment of it.

Live music, swaying palm trees, emotional vows, and a touch of humor — everything a relaxed beach wedding in Hawaii should be.

Check out some of their Oahu wedding photography below!

A Place to Start Their Forever

Jason & Jodie are a joyful couple, always ready to share a laugh and find adventure. So marrying in Hawaii seemed like a natural choice. So many details needed to come together: song choices, guest lists, vacation plans, color pallet. But first, they needed to find the perfect place.

After some research, they decided a Kualoa Ranch Secret Island would be perfect for them. This scenic spot became a place where all their other wedding dreams could come true. It was a unique experience for their guests, who could enjoy this hidden gem of a wedding venue. It allowed everyone to sit comfortably for the ceremony without worrying about beachgoers and permitting restrictions.

And the natural beauty of this place allowed Jason & Jodie to create a simple yet meaningful plan that was true to who they are as a couple.

We’re so glad we could help them put this all together. This Kualoa Ranch Secret Island wedding was a vision brought to life. Jason & Jodie’s style, Simple Oahu’s expertise, and the special magic you can only find in Hawaii.

Portraits at a Kualoa Ranch Secret Island Wedding

We love the private, emotional ceremonies at Secret Island in Oahu. The distraction-free setting allows everyone to be fully present. But after the couple shares their first kiss and jaunts back up the aisle, there is still a lot of fun ahead of us.

That’s because we still get to take wedding portraits! This is the couple’s chance to take in the beauty of this incredible place. A Kualoa Ranch Secret Island wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and portrait time is a chance to slow down and be in the moment.

It’s also a really special time for the couple. This was Jason & Jodie’s first few moments as newlyweds, and their romantic energy was incredible. They’re at ease with each other but also totally infatuated. This means their portraits were breezy yet elegant, stylish yet authentic.

And their Oahu wedding venue had so many stunning backdrops, so we were able to capture both the couple and their wedding location.

Congratulations, Jason & Jodie! We loved being a part of your Hawaii wedding and wish you a lifetime of happiness!

There are endless reasons why couples choose to elope in Oahu. There’s the simplicity and beauty, the chance to vacation and wed all at once, and the incredible images you can capture here. An elopement on the beach was a perfect fit for Monica & Justin.

Without worries and traditions, they were free to simply enjoy. They took it all in — the beauty and serenity, the heartfelt ceremony, and their love for each other.

This is the kind of wedding we adore, and we’re so excited to share some of their photography!

Elope in Oahu Under Pastel Skies

We met Monica & Justin on the beach just as the sun was beginning to set. The clouds in the sky filtered the golden sun into dreamy pastel hues. But there was also plenty of light. The sun’s rays peeking through the horizon, their dreams for the future shining in the distance, and their love for each other, brighter than anything else.

It’s this love that will get Monica & Justin through the tough times, and that will make the good times even sweeter. Without the pressures of a traditional wedding, they were able to reflect on all this. Despite being a giggly couple, they were serious with their vows. That’s one of the things we loved about their ceremony — the balance between emotions. Laughter, tears — we got it all.

For anyone considering eloping in Oahu, their wedding images are sure to inspire you to start planning today!

Taking Time for Portraits

Monica & Justin were on island time. They didn’t have to rush off anywhere, so we were able to get great portraits of them around the beach. We’re so glad they stuck around after their ceremony to get these beautiful portraits. This was their chance to highlight their personal style and their incredible details.

And though these two decided to elope in Oahu with no guests, we could tell they had so much love and support from back home. Now they also have these images so that they can share their day with everyone who was there in spirit.

We’re obsessed with how beautiful Monica & Justin’s beauty, inside and out. And the stunning scenery of Oahu was the perfect backdrop for their elopement photography.

Check out more of their pictures below, and join us in congratulating these darling newlyweds!

Mahalo to Monica & Justin for choosing us as their Oahu elopement coordinator! We’re sending you lots of Aloha and congratulations as you begin your life together!

A sweet, simple, and romantic wedding in Oahu — you really can’t get any better than that! So when it was time for Noel & Marcus to get married, they gathered up a small group of loved ones and hit the beach.

But just because they dreamed of a low-key celebration doesn’t mean they skimped on the details. Instead, they included the elements that were meaningful for them — a walk down the aisle, a ceremonious lei exchange, and portraits that they’ll always enjoy.

Check out some highlights from their wedding below. We’ve also got a fun story of how we ended up becoming their coordinator, plus some tips for anyone wanting their own wedding in Oahu.

Staying Close to Home

Couples travel thousands of miles to have an Oahu Wedding. But Noel & Marcus live right here on the island. So the beach, the memory, and the details were all extra special for them.

But how did they decide that a hometown elopement was right for them? We’re happy to share that we played a hand in that!

See, Noel & Marcus were out enjoying time at the beach when they saw a wedding happening toward shore. It seemed casual yet meaningful, the type of ceremony they’d enjoy. So as the vendors said their goodbyes, they asked how they could have a similar celebration.

And that’s how they got the information for Simple Oahu Wedding, and how we ended up being their coordinator. Lucky us!

Don’t worry, though — this darling duo stayed close to home for their wedding, but they’re off to see the world. Travel is in their future, and we can’t wait to hear about all the places they visit as a husband & wife team!

Planning a Beach Wedding in Oahu

Whether you are traveling from across oceans or from across town (like Noel & Marcus), a wedding in Oahu can be an absolute dream. It’s naturally scenic here, and you get to enjoy a full getaway as you wed.

And Simple Oahu Wedding wants to help create an event that lives up to the dream — ceremonies that feel relaxed and joyful, yet still stylish and serene. After all, that’s likely why you chose to marry here.

You may not run into us on the beach like Noel and Marcus did, but we hope these images help you better picture your own wedding here. And when you’re ready, we want to hear from you — this is where you can find our packages for Oahu Weddings.

A Match Made in Heaven (And Grad School)

Let’s get back to Noel & Marcus, two smiling sweethearts who seemed so relaxed and giddy at their wedding in Oahu. Though they found us recently during a beach outing, their love story dates back over a decade.

That’s when they were both in grad school, looking forward to careers and life beyond their classrooms. Like most great love stories, they met, became friends, fell in love, found a house together, and got a dog (shout out to Louie!). And in 2020, they got engaged.

These days, they’re still rocking the world of academia — Noel as a Vice Principal and Marcus as a high school teacher. And though they’re always looking forward to what’s next, they’re also focusing on the now, enjoying this incredible season of life as newlyweds!

Congratulations, Noel & Marcus! Thank you so much for allowing us to coordinate your wedding in Oahu! We’ll see you at the beach again soon!

Hawaii holds a special place in our lovely couple, Allan and Michelle’s hearts. Michelle, who is a traveling RN in Honolulu, met Allan, who works in healthcare management. These two absolutely love Oahu, so getting married on the beach felt just right! Their Oahu beach wedding was relaxed, stress-free, and, most importantly, just for them… keep reading to see how their lovely day unfolded!

Our lovely couple chose the stunning Papa’iloa Beach for their lovely ceremony; the cloudy skies created a dreamy feel as they exchanged their thoughtful vows. Their love and admiration for each other were palpable as our photographer captured these priceless moments on one of the biggest days of their lives! Finally, all that matters is their love, commitment, and vision for their future together!

Just For Us

Even though it was just the two of them, our happy newlyweds dressed their best for each other! Michelle is a vision in a lace and embellished white gown; her veil creates an ethereal quality that served as an enchanting element to their newlywed portraits! It’s all about the details as we like to say…

Also, we love a groom in blue for an Oahu beach wedding! Allan’s linen suit is perfectly tailored and picks up the color of the sky beautifully. Generally, cloudier skies give way to dreamier and softer photographs so we love these cooler tones of their newlywed portraits! Furthermore, our happy couple looks like they are stepping out of a dream in these photos…

Congratulations to our beautiful new Mr. & Mrs. Roldan! It was a joy to work with you both! We hope you have a wonderful honeymoon! Best of luck in the years ahead!
