It was a glistening day on the Leeward side for Demi and Nicholas’s beautiful wedding in Oahu. Paradise Cove beach was vivid with a light tropical breeze that kept the event relaxing and comfortable. We were thrilled to be a part of this couple’s special day!

The Wedding in Oahu

Reverend Kimo Taylor began the event with the beautiful deep sound of the Hawaiian conch. Demi made her entrance wearing an elegant off-the-shoulder boho gown with a flowing mermaid train. We loved how her island look came together with a tropical flower crown and rustic Hawaiian bouquet. Nicholas stood by, wearing his military dress uniform and unable to contain his smile as he watched the love of his life walk down the sandy aisle. These two were meant to be!

Our Couple’s Story

Demi and Nicholas met in grad school, but they didn’t hit it off right away. The magic moment came five years later when he reached out and the spark was lit! Nicholas has two kids from a previous relationship and Demi says, “They’re great!” Demi and Nicholas aren’t just tying their own lives together, they’re also joining their families.

Mahalo nui loa, Demi and Nicholas, for selecting us to coordinate your beautiful wedding. It was a gorgeous day and you were a joy to work with. We wish you all the happiness and bright days ahead!

We were so thrilled to coordinate Chante and Jason’s Oahu beach wedding. They were married last week on the shore of Waimanalo with friends and family in attendance. It was our pleasure to help them have the tropical and easy-going wedding of their dreams!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

It was a clear day at Waimanalo with white sands that seemed to stretch on for miles. When it was time for the ceremony to begin, Reverend Kimo blew the conch and cued Chante’s entrance.

We loved how Chante made a splash on the shore. She said she wanted her wedding to be simple–with everything but the dress! Wearing a layered gown with a jeweled bodice, Chante is showstopping! And the day only got more beautiful. Chante and Jason exchanged vows and began their married life together. 

Our Couple’s Story

Chante and Jason have been together for fifteen years, but Chante only introduced him to her children seven years ago. She kept him as her hidden secret as she focused on raising her kids. Now she says she’s marrying this man because he patiently waited. And the result was worth the wait! Chante’s children adore him! 

Chante and Jason met 15 years ago at work. Jason proposed during a hike up a beautiful trail in Lake Tahoe. He was far behind Chante when he shouted that he thought their little dog was stuck in her collar. When their sweet pup came racing up to Chante, she noticed a sparkling ring attached to her collar. Our bride said it was “perfect and super unexpected!” Keep scrolling for more of our couple and their beautiful Oahu Beach wedding! 

Congratulations, Chante and Jason! We wish you all the happiness in the decades ahead!

Claire and Matt were wed on the shore of Kualoa Ranch’s Secret Island with an Oahu destination wedding that was both relaxing and beautiful. With Chinaman’s Hat on the horizon and framed by a burgundy arch, it was a magical day with a couple in love. 

The Oahu Destination Wedding

Rose petals framed the aisle for Claire and Matt’s Oahu destination wedding as their guests watched them tie their lives together. Holding a tropical elegance bouquet in blue, Claire looked stunning in a traditional gown and the radiant smile of a bride in love. Matt was sporting his unique style in a checkered jacket and a patterned fuschia tie.  When the moment came for our couple to clasp hands, the joy was tangible. Claire and Matt were so excited to tie their lives together.

Following the ceremony, the talented Karma Hill Photography team took Claire and Matt aside to capture gorgeous photos of their first few minutes as husband and wife. We were all about their sweet expressions! Once it was time to return, our couple sailed back to the dock on a traditional Hawaiian fishing boat. It was an incredible day!

The Oahu Beach Elopement

Sara and Brandon wanted a simple yet beautiful option for their elopement, and Hawaii was the perfect place for both.

A simple morning ceremony with some great photos – sounds like the perfect Oahu Beach Wedding! Karra & Eric are such a sweet couple, we’re so glad we got to plan this for them. They didn’t need a big, dramatic wedding. Instead they opted for beautiful simplicity – barefoot on the beach. Joined by two precious guests – their daughters, Karra & Eric said I-Do, and they looked great doing it! Take a look at some of their Oahu Wedding Photos!

About Our Couple

This was Karra & Eric’s first time to Oahu. We’re sure they’ll be back again now that they’ve got such great memories from our island plus Karra’s sister lives here! These sweethearts met at a barbershop when Karra was working there. They live in California, where Eric is a general contractor and Karra is a hairdresser.

Their two adorable daughters keep them busy, and they kept us swooning for their wedding. Scroll down and see the sweet girls all dressed up for Mom & Dad’s Oahu Beach Wedding!

An Oahu Beach Wedding in The Morning

We typically plan our Beach Weddings for either morning or sunset. Each are beautiful and special in their own way! Karra & Eric opted for a morning ceremony, and it was stunning! The morning light complemented their chic boho style.

Waimanalo Beach is quiet in the morning and features a magical blue-toned glow. What a great place for an Oahu Beach Wedding!

It also meant that the newlyweds could relax for the rest of their wedding day! After being pronounced husband & wife, it was time for some fun and romantic portraits with Karma Hill Photography. Then they had the whole day ahead of them to enjoy. We’re so glad we got to spend this time with them, and we wish them all the best!!

Congratulations, Karra & Eric! We loved meeting you and your sweet family! Mahalo for allowing us to coordinate your beautiful wedding!

Laura & Eddie told us that an Oahu Elopement sounded like a dream. They were never interested in a big wedding. Instead they wanted something relaxed and elegant in a beautiful setting. After months of planning, they finally had their dream ceremony. Surrounded by sparkling blue water and dramatic mountains, Laura & Eddie vowed to love each other for the rest of their life! We’re so glad we got to be a part of it, and we’re excited to share these photos!

About Our Couple

Laura & Eddie met in trialing times and in an unlikely place. They were strangers when they had family members suffer strokes at the same time. Laura’s grandfather and Eddie’s father shared a hospital room, separated by a curtain. They ended up seeing each other a lot as they visited the hospital, and soon a shared experience turned into shared love.

These kind souls both work in healthcare administration back home in Florida. They love spending time with their family and their sweet dogs. We’re sure everyone was cheering them on from back home!

Laura & Eddie stayed in Hawaii for 10 days while they were here for their Oahu elopement. First they enjoyed time in Oahu, and then relaxed in Maui too!

Tropical Elegance for an Oahu Elopement

We love Laura & Eddie’s wedding style! They wanted to have a relaxed vibe that was true to the tropical setting. However, they also wanted a touch of elegance and classic wedding style. We think they did a great job of balancing the two! Eddie’s light blue suit and Laura’s chic gown have a timeless look that complemented the look of Waimanalo Beach. And Laura’s floral from Sweet Blossoms Hawaii added the perfect tropical touch!

Keep scrolling to see how the lovely sunset light allowed for gorgeous Oahu Elopement photography!

When planning an Oahu venue wedding from afar, Ivonne & Eric were overwhelmed with all the elements they personally had to plan. So when they reached out to us to handle all the coordinating for a ceremony at Paradise Cove Luau, it was the perfect match for a Simple Maui Wedding. We’d call it a match made in heaven, but that honor goes to our couple!

The Oahu Venue Wedding

Paradise Cove Luau looks out over the windward side of the island with glistening panoramic views of the ocean. It also features an onsight reception area with a live luau to celebrate your union the Hawaiian way! That’s why Ivonne and Eric chose it as their Oahu venue wedding location, it was the perfect place to tie the knot against the sunset and celebrate with family and friends.

Although their original wedding date was canceled due to Covid, and our couple officially said “I do” in March, they were still able to have their dream ceremony on the Hawaiian coast. And what a dream it was!

This sweet smile has us on cloud nine! We love the simple yet classic apparel of our bride and groom. Hawaiian style meets wedding-ready!

Our Couple’s Story

Eric & Ivonne met through a mutual friend five years ago. After dating for a few years, they quickly realized it was meant to be. Eric proposed at the airport, a system he knows well, working as a Ramp Lead in Texas. We love how their engagement location symbolizes all the adventures they’ll go on as a married couple! Ivonne is a travel nurse and our couple has already journeyed across states to be together!

Together they have FIVE grown boys and look forward to getting some time in to explore the island with family! Keep scrolling for more of this beautiful couple and their incredible day!

Thank you, Eric and Ivonne, for selecting us to coordinate your Oahu venue wedding. We wish you all the best in married life and send our fondest Aloha.

Few things are more adventurous and heartfelt than when a couple in love decides to elope in Oahu. And that’s exactly how Adriana and Frank chose to tie the knot! With their brilliant daughters in attendance and the cool, ocean breeze on their backs, this was a ceremony blessed with love and beauty. 

Why Elope in Oahu?

Adriana and Frank felt eloping in Oahu was the perfect way to have a wedding that was “boho, relaxed, carefree, fun, elegant, and classic.” With no bells and whistles to take care of, Adriana and Frank were able to be in the moment with their love, their union, and their children. 

The ceremony was simply beautiful. Adriana positively glowed in a boho gown with her hair down and blowing in the tropical breeze. It was so clear that our couple was deeply in love. After being together for ten years, Adriana and Frank have built a relationship rooted in honor and commitment, so taking that next step into marriage came naturally in their journey. 

The sweet moment when Adriana and Frank gave both their daughter’s leis signified their union not just as a couple, but as a family.

Who needs rice when you have rose petals? And who needs church bells when you have the roar of the ocean? Adriana and Frank’s wedding day was an island dream! Almost as beautiful as their sweet family!

Our Couple’s Story

Adriana and Frank met through a mutual friend and clicked instantly. One day, Frank surprised Adriana by saying he had a present for her. But it wasn’t just any old present! When she got home, he gave her a little bag with a box inside it. And in that box was the ring that started it all!

Adriana says she was not expecting it! And now here they are, taking those steps to elope in Oahu and begin their lives as a married couple. Keep browsing for more beautiful photos of Adriana and Frank, their daughters, and their special day! 

Mahalo nui loa, Adriana and Frank, for choosing us to help you elope in Oahu. It was a joyous day, and we were honored to be a part of it. Wishing you all the love and magic in the future ahead!
