An Oahu venue wedding is more than a ceremony; it’s a story of love, faith, and the beauty of second chances. For Joanna and Joel, their wedding at the Lanikuhonua Cultural Institute was not just about becoming husband and wife; it was about honoring the years of life and love that led them there.
Joanna and Joel’s story began in 2011 through mutual friends, the kind of serendipitous meeting that feels like divine timing. Over the years, they built a beautiful blended family of seven, filled with laughter, faith, and weekend sports. Between football games, outdoor adventures, and cheering for their youngest daughter Kamryn’s All-Star Cheer team, their life together has been full of love and togetherness.
But what makes this day especially meaningful is the journey it took to get here. After Joel’s proposal in 2015, life brought joy, challenges, and moments that tested strength. These two are meant for one another, and now it’s about to be official!
So when they chose Oahu, it felt perfect. A place tied to her past, a favorite from family trips, and a setting that captured everything they wanted, simple, beautiful, faith-filled, and full of aloha…
Surrounded By Love
Their ceremony beneath the palms at Lanikuhonua Cultural Institute, surrounded by family dressed in soft pinks and creams, radiated warmth. Every look, every smile carried meaning. You could see it, the gratitude, the joy, the feeling that love always finds its way back home.
Their Oahu wedding photos capture every ounce of that emotion. The way Joel looks at Joanna, full of quiet devotion. The soft sunlight glows through the palm trees. The laughter as they walked hand in hand down the beach, leaving footprints in the sand. Surrounded by family dressed in warm shades of blush and beige, their portraits radiate pure joy and gratitude.
These images aren’t just photos; they’re a visual love letter to everything Joanna and Joel have built together. Proof that love, patience, and faith can make even the most ordinary moments extraordinary.
Congratulations, Joanna and Joel! Your Oahu venue wedding was everything beautiful, sacred, and full of aloha.
Some weddings don’t need a ballroom or a guest list that stretches for miles. Sometimes, all you need is the ocean, a few of your favorite people, and the kind of love that radiates in every single photo. That was Jesse and Hannah’s Oahu beach wedding at Kualoa Beach—and it was the kind of day
