In this simple guide, you’ll find the best beaches and venues for the ultimate Oahu military wedding. Plus, we’ve included a ton of tips to help make your Big Day experience as easy as possible. From Hawaii military lodging and military discounts to scenic adventures, we’ve got your planning covered!
Oahu has the 4th largest military workforce in the country, with over 20,000 men and women proudly serving our islands. At Simple Oahu Wedding, we honor and deeply value the members and veterans of our armed forces. And to show our appreciation, we offer a 5% discount off of our base Oahu wedding packages!
Follow along as we go over a handful of our favorite Oahu wedding locations and highlight plenty of military perks!

In the heart of Makua, Yokohama Beach features pristine waters and white sands beneath the foothills of the Waianae Mountains. In Hawaiian “makua” translates to “parent.” Legend has it that this area is the place where humans first walked the earth.
Disney’s Aulani Resort is a quick car ride away from Yokohama Beach. This resort has everything you’d ever want in a Hawaii vacation. Pools, pools, and then some. Spas, hot tubs, and mellow bars. All are packaged in a nostalgic Disney theme to please the kids (and the kid inside you). Aulani is currently offering a 35% military discount for weekday stays from April 16th to June 11th, 2020. However, they’re likely to periodically offer deals throughout the years to come.
Situated on the dry and sunny Leeward Coast, this rustic area is spotted with small towns and rolling hills. With plenty of beaches and hole-in-the-wall gems to discover, Makua is a must-see destination for anyone wanting to experience the “real” Hawaii.
If you choose to say “I do” on this breathtaking shore, consider treating yourself to a mini-dinner reception. Discover unforgettable flavors at the world-renowned Roy’s or the Cattle Company Steakhouse.
Just minutes away from Yokohama Beach and near Kaena Point on the coastline, you can find the Makua Military Reservation (MMR). Located 18 miles from Schofield Barracks, this military training site boasts 4,856 acres and a helicopter landing pad. However, with no cabins or water facilities, this reservation is best suited for a brief visit rather than a stay-over.

Papailoa beach is one of the lesser-known beaches on Oahu’s North Shore. Situated near Waimea Bay and only a 20-minute drive from Turtle Bay Resort, this rustic beauty is the perfect locale for Military weddings on Oahu. Papailoa offers a break from the rush-and-go mentality of Honolulu. With powder-soft sands and a lava outcropping draped in emerald algae, the scenery will take your breath away.
If you’re a member of the Armed Forces Vacation Club, you can rent a room at Turtle Bay Resort starting at $2,959.99* for 7 nights. Booking a day or two at this high-end resort would allow you time to capture getting-ready photos before taking a short trip to the shore for your unforgettable Oahu wedding. *As of May 2020
Known for its paniolo (cowboy) charm, this area is covered in plantation fields with occasional roaming cattle. If you’re an outdoorsy couple, then there’s no shortage of things to do at this location! Go horseback riding on trails that overlook the spectacular forests at Sunset Ranch. Get your snorkel gear on and venture out to Shark Cove. Or hike up Waimea Valley to soak in the beauty of the indigenous greenery.
On the other hand, if you prefer the more relaxing luxuries of life, try crunching a couple of freshly roasted nuts at North Shore Macadamia, sip on a Mai Tai at the Toa Luau, or just grab a coffee and roam the many local art galleries. The North Shore is a great spot to let go of the stressors of life and just enjoy the days surrounding your Oahu wedding.

Situated on the coast of a small town, Waimanalo’s golden sands stretch for over 5 miles. The eastern-facing shore creates soft, luminous lighting during photo opts and vividly highlights the aqua waters and towering mountains.
Waimanalo is just minutes away from Bellows Beach, which offers military discounted cabin rentals, a military mini-mart, and a volleyball court and playground.
In addition, the Marine Corps at Kaneohe Bay boasts cottages, cabins, villas, and a waterfront lodge at affordable military rates. All of the 13 cottages in this pristine villa feature 2 bedrooms with queen beds, air conditioning, a full kitchen and living room, plus BBQ and patio areas. The Marine Corps is ideal for small or large groups and has unbeatable views of the northeastern shore.
Waimanalo town is less developed than Honolulu and offers a great reprieve from the hustle of the city.
If you love beach activities, then this windward location can’t be beaten! With an abundance of vivid coral reefs, Waimanalo is loaded with snorkeling opportunities. If you’re staying near Kaneohe Bay Base Marina, you can rent out their gear to engage in a variety of activities, from windsurfing to water skiing.
Best of all, this location is only a short drive from Sea Life Park. So you can schedule an after-wedding adventure to see the dolphins and feed the sea lions!

If you want Aloha spirit and an island oasis, then Paradise Cove Luau is perfect for your Oahu military wedding. With beachside or lawn ceremony options, this locale melds oceanfront with the comfort and ease of a venue.
If a reception is part of your dream wedding, then follow up the “I do” with their onsite luau. This wild adventure features Polynesian fire dancers, traditional food, and authentic Hawaiian games. As an extra bonus, special military discounts apply for luau receptions at this venue! We can get you in contact with their events organizer for more details.
The Pililaau Army Recreation Center is just a short drive from Paradise Cove Luau. Their modest but clean facilities are available in studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, or 3 bedroom options with access to a semi-private beach. Priced at $87 – $127 a night, the PARC is ideal for couples who want a simple place to rest. Why spend $300+ on a hotel when you can put it towards activities that create lasting memories?
Likewise, the Barber Point Beach Cottage offers cedar cabin rentals at White Plains Beach for military families. Located near the USS Arizona, these shoreside cabins range between $90 – $110 a day, with 1 and 2-bedroom options, including AC and washer/dryers.
Populated with high-end resorts and shopping complexes, the Ko’olina area is the perfect spot to indulge in modern luxuries. Go snorkeling and view the Leeward oceans or relax during a mud bath and Lomi Lomi massage. Or take a side trip to the Marina or one of the many golf courses in the area.
Be sure to take advantage of the close proximity to Pearl Harbor. A 20-minute drive will bring you right into the heart of this historic site. Tour the museum or visit Hickam Air Force Base or Fort Shafter as you salute the men and women who proudly serve our country.

While Oahu has a prominent public transportation system, we recommend using it for short trips based in Waikiki only. To get around the island, you’re probably going to want the convenience and flexibility of a rental car.
Hertz has a long history of providing great deals to military personnel. Other companies, including AVIS, also offer military discounts. It doesn’t hurt to shop around. You could also check out MVDC for better offers or browse the Hawaii Military Guide for more tips.
Unique Vintage offers a 10% military discount on their special online wedding section for women. The Banana Republic also gives a 15% military discount and can be found throughout the island of Oahu.
Helzberg Diamonds and Tiffany’s offer 10% off engagement rings and wedding bands for active-duty personnel and veterans. On top of that, the Waikiki strip is home to a gorgeous two-story Tiffany’s, both convenient and financially savvy!
This guide is just a peek at the beaches and venues we have to offer! As you’re planning your big day, come check out all of our beautiful Oahu wedding locations!

We think we can all agree that Our Grooms Got Swag!! We focus a lot on our beautiful brides and their stunning wedding gowns, hair and makeup, shoes, and all that jazz; but really, we can’t forget about our favorite groom styles! These guys really do deserve a shoutout! It’s not easy to pull off sophistication while letting your personality shine. But these grooms find a way to do it! Whether it’s in the cut, the details, or the patterns, these stylish guys rock their Oahu wedding attire! Come check out some of our favorite swaggy gentlemen!

There’s nothing wrong with the classic black tux, but there’s something about the rich, inky shades of blue that elevate groom style to a whole new dimension of on-point-ness. Offset it with patterns or a relaxed button-up, or make it uniquely you with a rose bowtie! It often surprises our clients to find out just how much of the color saturates the Hawaiian coast… it’s not just our aqua waters, it’s our valleys, skies, and mountains too! In this color palette, you’ll look polished against the panoramic views, and your special someone will really say you blue them away. We’re here all night, people!

English sophistication has never looked so good! Sign us up for these classic groom styles! From James Bond to Mr. Darcy, with the sleek silhouette of the traditional groom suit, you can’t go wrong! This style is picture-perfect and can be adjusted to match your own personality. Add the 007 bow-tie for an ultra-polished look, or bring in some jazz with hues of slate gray or linen. Special accents like a boutonniere to match your bride, a simple pocket square, or an unexpected splash of vivid color make a contemporary statement.

Aloha Print is definitely not for everyone, but a sweet little touch of a bird of paradise on a necktie or a tasteful aloha print shirt on an upbeat groom works just fine! If you’re going to dive into the Hawaiian print, then we suggest seeking out patterns that are uniquely you and original. Draw inspiration from your favorite hues, then complement that epic pattern with a pairing of sleek slacks or a mellow suit.

What can we say? Suspenders are super cool… retro yet modern, these fun staples are making a snappy comeback! Perfectly paired with a partner in boho attire or 50’s glam, suspenders add an element of youthfulness and quirky charm while still functioning as a chic wedding staple.

Bow Tie or Neck Tie… prints and hues… fabric or wood… so many options! While it’s becoming more and more popular to leave these little guys at home, the tie is evolving into an unexpected statement detail. The ladies get luscious bouquets… so why can’t the groom have some colorful flair? This simple little piece of fabric can go a long way in making an impact and showcasing your sense of fashion. Use it as a designer would decorate an accent wall: go all out, be bold, be wild, and then style the rest of the room (Or should we say, groom?) in traditional and simple hues.

Not every groom has the honor of wearing one of these proud dress uniforms, but for those who do, we say thank you. Thank you for your service! We recognize all of the important details and embellishments of your uniforms, and our sister company, Karma Hill Photography, always takes great strides to capture these pieces with diligence and respect. Keep wearing these noble groom styles with pride!

Fun and creative socks can add a touch of hidden personality that doesn’t overpower the outfit! Spunk, spunk, and then some. Your socks speak volumes about you. With just a glance at these photos, we can tell so much about each wearer’s personality. If you have a favorite pattern, a spirit animal, or just a favorite food, show it off with your feet gear! Pair those peppy socks with classic oxfords and you’ve got yourself postcard-worthy Oahu wedding attire. Just don’t forget to tell your photographer they’re under there!!

Other items such as hats, watches, or suit decor can send your traditional groom styles into a place of fashion that’s 100% you… and 100% you is the best kind of you! Don’t hesitate to add a designer watch that’s as on time as you are on-fleek. Or wear a fedora that brings out all the tropical vibes of the beach. Or clip on cherished mementos to bring you closer to those who’ve moved on. Whatever feels natural and meaningful, wear your style with pride because this is your day too!
Of course, these are only a handful of our swaggy grooms! We’ve loved getting to see these guys rock their styles and enjoy their Oahu weddings! We can’t wait to see what stylish grooms await us this year!

At Simple Oahu Wedding, we believe the Hawaii locale where you get married should be gorgeous yet uncomplicated with a heaping scoop of island style. We’ll help you find the ideal place to get married in Oahu and turn your dream into reality! Just see what our clients have said:

There are plenty of breathtaking wedding venues on Oahu, but Kualoa Ranch’s Secret Island takes the (wedding) cake when it comes to island style. This reserve is so private that you and your guests can only access the beachfront by floating over an ancient fish pond via a Hawaiian fishing boat (Yes, you read that correctly!). Imagine saying “I do” on a tropical beach with just you, your guests, and your special someone digging your toes into the powdery white sand.

Although Hawaii beaches tend to get most of the praise, our mountains and jungles can be just as beautiful. Nestled in the lush valleys of Kailua, the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club is the perfect venue for nature lovers. Its endless greenery is accented with designer elements, including a pristine pond, stone bridges, and a rugged rock wall. You’ll say “I do” on the manicured lawns overlooking the venue and then venture into the tropical forest to capture unforgettable couples portraits.

If you dream of getting married on a beautiful beach but also want the convenience of an onsite reception, then Paradise Cove Luau is the ideal Oahu wedding location! Situated on the Leeward side of the island, this stunning location showcases vivid sunsets and glistening seascape views. With a grassy lawn or sandy stretch available for ceremony options, you can decide whether or not to go “toes in the sand” or “shoes on the terrace.” When the sun goes down, you can dive into a traditional Hawaiian luau to celebrate your union right there on the property!

It’s impossible to adequately describe the fluid and artistic beauty of Papailoa Beach. With a rocky shoreline draped in soft green algae and a stretch of trees fading into the horizon, walking on this Oahu beach feels like stepping into a masterpiece. Best known as the setting for the TV show Lost, Papailoa Beach offers bright tropical beauty with an unexpectedly refined aesthetic.

Rarely crowded, Waimanalo Beach is one of our favorite locations for beach weddings. Its oceanscape features rolling valley backdrops and a seemingly endless stretch of white sands. In the morning light, Waimanalo Beach’s waters glow a vivid aquamarine, while the sky fades into soft pastels during the sunset hours. With plenty of parking and easy access to the shore, this spot is perfect for wedding guests of any age.

Resting in the heart of Makaha, Yokohama Beach is a remote white sand beach that’s well worth the travel time! The rocky coastline is encircled by lush mountains and valleys with rolling tides crashing in the ocean backdrop. Resting on the western tip of the island, this Oahu wedding location features vivid sunsets and pastel-soft morning light.

Bordered by a grassy field, this Oahu wedding location showcases green mountains and a rolling tropical beach. Just off Kaneohe Bay on the northeastern side of the island, Kualoa Regional Beach Park is famous for its striking beauty. Just ⅓ of a mile out from its shoreline, the basalt island of Mokoliʻi (or Chinaman’s Hat) rests in the vivid Hawaiian waters.

Ko’olina is known for its high-end resorts and accommodations, and although it boasts gorgeous beaches they’re privately owned and inaccessible to the public. Paradise Cove is the single gem in Ko’olina where public weddings are allowed. And what a gem it is! With leggy palms and crystal clear waters, this cove is a must-see! Because it shares its shore with Paradise Cove Luau we recommend morning weddings to avoid dense crowds.

Conveniently located near Waikiki, this gorgeous beach features plenty of palms, golden sands, and a backdrop of rolling waters. Although this Oahu wedding location is often crowded, it boasts a wide shoreline, and we can usually seek out less populated areas for the ceremony and beautiful photo ops.

Located near Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu’s north shore, this rustic beach boasts a lava rock embankment and endless blooms of tropical palms. Haleiwa Alii Beach Park is in the heart of the small plantation town of Haleiwa and features panoramic views of the ocean coast that make for dynamic wedding day photos.

Our Oahu weddings are never short of love, beauty, and style. We’ve had the honor of working with clients who are madly in love and over-the-heels excited about planning their Big Day. One of the questions we’re often asked is how to pull off the perfect Hawaii wedding attire. When you’re coming from a hometown with snow or deserts, figuring out what will work on the sandy shore or in one of our breezy venues can be tricky!
But don’t worry, there’s really no wrong way to dress for your Oahu destination wedding. As long as you highlight your own unique flair and plan for comfort, you’ll be rocking your Big Day fashion! To give you a visual of the many possible outfit combos, we’ve compiled our 10 most memorable Oahu wedding styles: These couples have brought their wedding A-game with on-point getups and unforgettable splashes of originality!

Jayne & Jackson – Waimanalo Beach
Why we love it: When cabana chic meets gypsy lace, beach wedding style becomes elevated to a whole new level of glam! Sporting a single-breasted blazer and collared shirt, it’s the fitted cut and clean lines of Jackson’s Hawaii wedding attire that pull his gear into the realm of brilliant sophistication. We love how he left the tie behind and went sparingly on those buttons, then added a boutonniere to match his bride! Speaking of his bride, Jayne brings the look together in a stunning cream gown with delicate patterns and contours, all topped with a colorful flower crown and a bouquet that adds a splash of spring.

Yuka & Tim ~ Papailoa Beach
Why we love it: Yuka’s Hawaiian flower crown and the intricate detailing of her bodice make an unforgettable impression! Add that to her princess waist and shear pleating, and she’s the perfect combo of beachy bride and cathedral sheek. Tim looks equally as polished, sporting a cream tie to match and an icy blue button-up with slate gray slacks complete with camel Oxfords.

Brittany & Timothy ~ Papailoa Beach
Why we love it: In pleats and elegant draping, Brittany gives off all the Juliet vibes, while Timothy pulls the style into the modern era with a classic tux and bowtie combo. We can’t get enough of this striking pairing! From her twisted updo to his tailored suit, these two are 100% story-worthy.

Jessica & Ben ~ Yokohama Beach
Why we love it: From her elegant train to her Renaissance-ready hair, Jessica pulls off the princess look effortlessly. Decked out in tan and leaving the tie in the shop, Ben puts a unique twist on the suit-on-the-beach look. We love how they don’t hold back on the glam and glitz but also incorporate simple, laidback touches to give their attire personality with a subtle nod to the tropics.

Lainie & Eric ~ Kualoa Secret Island
Why we love it: Lainie & Eric perfectly pull off the youthful yet still 100% traditional look. Their Hawaii wedding attire is fit for royalty, only with a modern, tropical twist! With his jacket MIA, the focal point of Eric’s outfit becomes his bold, silvery tie, a perfect complement to Lainie’s jewel-encrusted gown. Clean lines and custom-fits showcase this couple’s confident personalities and add a pop of elegance to the Kualoa shore side.

Katelyn & Joshua ~ Kualoa Ranch
Why we love it: A couture gown fit for a queen? Check. A navy suit with a relaxed yet tailored fit? Check. A couple with style on-end and totally head-over-heels in love? Check, check, check! We love the subtle tones in Katelyn & Joshua’s Hawaii wedding attire. Champagne and midnight blue with a splash of sapphire, sign us up! On top of that, Katelyn’s princess-cut gown with lace and beaded applique is elegantly paired with a pulled back veil and loose, beachy waves.

Jessica & Jonathan ~ Waimanalo Beach
Why we love it: Jessica & Jonathan brought their country charm to the shores of Waimanalo! Her short wedding dress perfectly complements Jonathan’s laidback vest. We don’t often see hues of chocolate in wedding attire, but this rich color adds a surprising element of contemporary style and pops against the soft tones of the mountain backdrop. We can just imagine them riding off into the Hawaiian sunset…

Cheryl & Yishi ~ Paradise Cove
Why we love it: We adore beachy bridal dresses, but we also LOVE the classic cathedral eye-catchers! Cheryl didn’t hold back with her Oahu wedding style, and we couldn’t get enough of it! With seemingly endless length, her sweeping train and sheer veil stole the spotlight and enchanted us with its timeless grace.

Morgan & Kale ~ Waimanalo Beach
Why we love it: On the topic of timeless, how retro-glam are Morgan & Kale? Decked in an impeccably polished dress uniform, Kale is the embodiment of dignified. Rising to his level, Morgan looks as if she just stepped out of a classic movie. With a twisted updo accented with delicate blooms, sheer shouldering decorated with European lace, and a hand bouquet of lush red roses, we’re sort of sitting here wondering why this love story hasn’t been made into a film by now!

Alicia & David ~ Waimanalo Beach
Why we love it: Alicia & David are the perfect examples of the versatility of the boho style! If the bride’s representing this gypsy classic, her partner can pair up with practically anything: suspenders, cabana gear, or even a classic tux (like David’s 007 style!). We love the elegant cut of Alicia’s ornate gown, with a plunging neckline and a sleek mermaid-fit, she looks ready for the dance floor… and David is polished up to join her!
These couples blew us away with their style, but they’re only a handful of the gorgeous Oahu wedding styles we’ve come across! For more real wedding inspiration, be sure to check out our many blog posts! Here’s one to get you started: Pure Perfection ~ Cassidy & Taylor’s Oahu Beach Wedding.

Jessica & Jonathan’s Oahu beach elopement was easygoing and beautiful, just as they hoped it would be! There may have been a bit of rain, but it was nothing like the downpour that their hometown of Georgia had been under. Their Special Day was a tropical reprieve from the drenching weather. The clouds cleared briefly during the ceremony and the result was a sky filled with a beautiful gradient of grays and teals.
Our couple’s love story begins with the roar of an engine. Jonathon owns a commercial tire shop and Jessica owns a dump truck business… it was a match made in paradise! Or maybe a match made in the automotive industry and a wedding made in paradise! Jessica had frequented Jonathan’s shop for almost two decades, and when the time was right, these two turned the keys to start their relationship! Two years later, on Jessica’s 40th birthday, Jonathan asked her to spend forever with him, and the rest of the story is below!



How good looking is this pair? We love the Southern charm they brought to the shore of Waimanalo. Hawaii has its own rich history of cowboys (known here as paniolo), and these two are totally pulling off an elegant Oahu Beach Elopement with a rustic country twist! Keep scrolling for all the beautiful shots!


















Mahalo nui loa, Jessica & Jonathan, for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding to coordinate your Oahu Beach Elopement. We wish you all the happiness and love in the years to come…

To our valued Simple Oahu Wedding clientele,
As the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) remains a global concern, we want to assure you that our top priority continues to be the health and happiness of our clients and employees. We understand what a scary and sad time this is for our clients, and we are here for you. We feel heartbroken as well.
In order to ensure your health and wellbeing, we are following the recommendations of Governor Ige and canceling all events for the next 30 days. However, we truly believe and are hopeful that this pandemic will be short-lived, so we are currently open and taking bookings for FUTURE dates.
If your wedding is between now and the end of April, we recommend rescheduling to sometime after 09/01/2020. This will ensure that we have enough availability, and airfare and hotels will likely be more affordable as well. All portrait sessions that have been booked but need to be rescheduled due to COVID-19 will be guaranteed a price-lock for up to 2 years into the future, regardless of whether our package costs increase.
Keep in mind that you don’t have to know your new date to postpone; you can always let us know later!
Many of you have been proactive and have already arranged your busy schedules to postpone your wedding date. We encourage you to keep at it and to please continue to be patient with our team as we do our best to work with this incredibly complex situation. Things are changing day-to-day, and we will update available booking times as soon as we know more.
We also highly advise that you postpone your visit to the islands until Governor Ige greenlights travel. Tourist attractions, bars, restaurants, and many other areas have been closed, which means, unfortunately, a visit to Hawaii won’t be the fun vacation you had in mind. Postponing travel will also help keep our island community healthy, as all local COVID-19 cases have so far been tourism-related.
Lastly (but not least!), we want to assure you that this will pass, and one day soon, you will be standing beneath the warm tropical sun and saying “I do” to the love of your life.




We want nothing more than for you to have an amazing Oahu wedding, and we can’t wait to be a part of it!
…But, until then, stay safe, stay strong, and stay healthy.
From all of us here at Simple Oahu Wedding.

For Amanda & Brandon, a venue wedding in Oahu was the perfect fit for their adventurous personalities! And when we say adventurous we mean it! This couple got engaged in Iceland while camping out in a VW bus! And as Brandon popped the big question on the shore of a black sand beach, he captured it all… on his drone! How legendary is that boss move?!
These two met at the gym, and the first thing Amanda said to Brandon was: “You’ve got a booger in your nose.” Her dad likes to joke that she “picked” the right one. And judging from that incredibly sweet face of his when he sees her up close, we have to energetically agree! Keep scrolling for all the sweet shots!




For their Big Day, they said “I do” on the grassy lawn of Paradise Cove Luau with their closest friends and family watching on. A hush came over the venue as Kahu Kawena shared one of her sacred songs…



And serving as ring bearer, was Brandon’s adorable (and incredibly mature!) nephew!







How epic is this dynamic crew! We love the energy and uplifting mood… and from the looks of it, Brandon was pretty uplifted too!






Cobalt blue and lace for ages… we’re obsessed with this couple’s style! And how incredibly gorgeous are they?! We love their sweet embrace and warm smiles!





Mahalo nui loa, Amanda & Brandon, for trusting us with your venue wedding in Oahu. We hope you had a blast skydiving to celebrate!! And we wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

A misty cloud draped over the island, but the ocean still glowed a luminous aquamarine as Karen and Andrew said: “I do.” We love how Oahu beach weddings can be gentle and untamed at the same time. The ocean was roaring, but the sand was as soft as ever beneath our couple’s toes. And the mist on the horizon created a gorgeous fade-effect along the valley peaks.
Karen & Andrew flew out of a 30 degree Chicago cold-snap, so an overcast day in Oahu was plenty warm for our jet-setting couple. And, of course, it was nothing short of beautiful! Located on the east side of the island, the shoreline of Waimanalo Beach extends for nearly a mile along the windward coast, carving a path between the Watershed Forest Reserve and the crystalline seascape.

Together for over 13 years, Karen & Andrew were excited to tie the knot and make their marriage official… although it was clear from the start that these two have had an unbreakable bond for many years. Just look at the way Andrew takes in the sight of his radiant bride!

Wearing a dusky rose with Greek-inspired draping, Karen is Aphrodite just moments after she stepped from her shell to walk the shore. We can’t get enough of the subtle pops of pink! From her flower crown to her wild bouquet, from her ruffled empire waist to her coral lip, Karen pulls of Boho-chic with an added bonus of color!











How sweet is this shot?! Supported by Andrew’s parents and Karen’s son, our couple was basking in the warmth of love on their Special Day.
And following the big moment, we took advantage of Waimanalo’s wide range of scenery to capture a set of gorgeous Oahu couple’s portraits… keep scrolling for all the beautiful photos!












Mahalo, Karen & Andrew, for trusting us with your beautiful Beach Wedding Photography. We wish you all the best in the years ahead and send our fond Aloha…
