Oahu Beach Weddings

For Randi and Carla, Hawaii is very near and dear to their hearts since Randi’s family lives on the island. So when it was time to plan their special day, there was no doubt in their mind they would have an Oahu beach wedding!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Waimanalo Beach set the perfect scene for Carla and Randi’s modern wedding and that’s reflected in the captivating pictures shot by Karma Hill Photography. We love how the delicate sunset paints the sky, the striking mountains in the distance, and the turquoise water at the shore balances beautifully with the soft white of their dresses. Both brides are glowing with absolute joy; scroll down to see more photos of these radiant newlyweds!

Our Couple’s Story

Randi and Carla first met through a mutual friend of theirs and two years later they began dating. Their years together are filled with hilarious jokes and unforgettable memories that both of them cherish forever. Currently, during their free time, you can find them going on holidays to visit their family and friends. But no vacation for them is complete without tuning in to watch a few episodes of forensic files. Above all, we’re glad that one of your getaways was your wedding on Waimanalo beach with us!

Congratulations to you both! It was amazing getting to know you. Lastly, we wish you a lifetime of funny jokes and remarkable experiences!

Last week, Sara and Dereck were wed with a beautiful Oahu beach wedding on the shore of Waimanalo. With loved ones cheering them on and the salty sprays of the ocean, this was a ceremony fit for any island dream!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Wearing a traditional silhouette with a lace halter, Sara was radiant. We loved how Dereck brought his own modern twist to the beachside groom. And the fact that their little guys matched had us smiling from ear to ear! Keep scrolling for all the sweet moments!

Our Couple’s Story

We often have our brides share their stories, but today we’re excited to share the words of our groom! 

From our groom: “Sara and I used to hold hands while in class in middle school. We both graduated from the same middle school and high school together. We lived our own separate lives and almost a decade later ran into each other at a strawberry festival in Garden Grove California.”

“I think Sara’s mom Angela fell in love with me first and asked Sara who I was. I met her family, chatted for a little bit and we went our own ways. Shortly after, I attended a Quincenera my brothers were a part of and little did we all know Sara and her family were at this Quinceanera. We danced the night away and later that same evening went on our first date.”

“Sara jumped on the back of my motorcycle, her brother Sergio took a picture of us before we left and we had dinner at an elegant restaurant on Balboa Island. Sara loves fillet mignon, so on Angelo’s birthday Oct 26, 2019, I proposed to her at a beautiful restaurant known as the Orange hill restaurant in Orange County California while she was pregnant with Zeus. We are blessed with two handsome boys Angelo 7 and Zeus 1 1/2.” 

Congratulations, Sara and Dereck! Thank you for trusting us with your Oahu beach wedding! We wish you all the happiness in the future!

Teresa and Matthew’s wedding in Oahu was a lovely ceremony. Waimanalo was rustic and wild, which paired beautifully with our calm and serene couple. This was a ceremony filled with love and memories that will last a lifetime.

The Wedding in Oahu

Teresa and Matthew’s wedding was slightly overcast with a light sprinkling of rain. Often the effect resembled twinkling stars and left us in awe. Speaking of “in awe,” how sweet is that expression on Matthew’s face when he first sees Teresa walk in! These two are made for each other! Keep scrolling for more of the beautiful ceremony!

Our Couple’s Story

Teresa and Matthew met on an online dating site in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2019, they took a special trip to the Big Island. During an evening walk on the beach, Matt got down on his knee and asked Teresa to marry him! And of course, she said yes! Matt was so thrilled, he saved the sand on his knee from when he proposed–we are all about this sweet detail! The rest of their story is right here on our blog! 

Congratulations, Matthew and Teresa! We had a wonderful time coordinating your wedding. We wish you all the very best and plenty of love and happiness in your marriage. A hui hou!

Last week, Vanessa and Jordan said “I do” during their tropical and breezy Oahu beach wedding. It was a joy being a part of their big day. With loved ones in attendance and that special magic in the air, this was a moment that will live on in eternity. 

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Standing in a flower circle of lovely island blooms and greenery, Jordan awaited his bride while overlooking the glistening ocean. Vanessa made her appearance in a striking gown with a flowing train and embellished bodice. We love the way her vibrant flower crown pops against her traditional bridal look. 

Kahu Kimo Taylor officiated the union, and Vanessa and Jordan tied their lives together. They celebrated with a first dance on the sandy shore while holding each other tight. Later we ventured down to the waterline and the professionals at Karma Hill Photography captured radiant images of our couple enjoying their first moments together as a married couple. 

Vanessa and Jordan met 6 years ago via a fluke accident on the well-known dating application, Tinder. Whether it was a fluke or destiny, it was certainly meant to be! Now, these two are sharing their lives together and ready to walk into a beautiful future. Keep scrolling through the blog for more from their magical Oahu beach wedding!

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. Keep scrolling for all the beautiful moments!

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!

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!

DeAnn and Brad had planned a large wedding but had to cancel due to the pandemic. So it just made sense to reschedule a relaxed Oahu wedding in July while visiting Brad’s family on the island. And it turned out to be more than simply relaxing! The day was vibrant and filled with love, love, love. 

The Oahu Wedding

Set on the shore of Waiʻalae Beach Park with leggy palms and lush greenery, DeAnn and Brad’s growing children and family watched on as our couple tied their lives together. Wearing a short and spunky off-white gown with a demi-train, DeAnn looks right at home against the beautiful scenery. We love Brad’s sophisticated laidback look–but most of all, we love those sweet smiles they’re both wearing! 

Our Couple’s Story

DeAnn and Brad each have two wonderful children and are excited to start their lives as a blended family. Brad grew up on Oahu and DeAnn feels the North Shore is the best place in the world. So saying their “I do’s” on the island was more than a beautiful destination, it was coming home. 

Our couple met on Match, dated for four years, and got engaged at Cannon Beach in Oregon. Together they enjoy cycling, hiking, Korean dramas on Netflix, and spending time together. Keep scrolling for more of their beautiful day! 

Mahalo nui loa, DeAnn and Brad, for choosing us to coordinate your wedding. We wish you only the very best in the years ahead!
