Recent Oahu Elopements

Amber and César had the most magical night for their Yokohama Beach Elopement! From an epic rainbow in the distant mountains to a beautiful sunset. It really was a picture-perfect evening! Just see for yourself 🙂 .

Yokohama Beach Ceremony

To make their evening even more memorable, this bride and groom chose to have Kahu Pomaikai perform their wedding with her traditional Hawaiian ceremony. The blessings she offers are full of so much love, and the true spirit of Aloha. Creating a truly memorable experience for a couple getting married in paradise!

Amber and César are big on adventure, so after previously visiting Maui and Kauai they were excited to explore Oahu and the Big Island on their wedding trip. So we’re thrilled they chose to get married here! And are confident this will be a day neither of them will ever forget. We know we sure won’t! Thank you so much, Amber and César, for sharing this amazing evening with us. We absolutely loved helping plan your Yokohama Beach Elopement! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

We had the best time helping Sherri and Craig plan their Oahu Beach Elopement, especially since they were keeping their wedding a surprise! These two told their families they were coming to Hawaii on vacation, but didn’t mention anything about getting married. And after being here for two weeks, they will return home where they can celebrate with loved ones!

We love that they were able to keep their Oahu Beach Elopement intimate and enjoy a quiet honeymoon here in paradise after! We seriously cannot think of a better way to start a marriage. Thank you so much, Sherri and Craig, for sharing your special day with Simple Oahu Wedding. We are so happy for you and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

View our recent wedding: Surprise Wedding ~ Aixa & Gabriel’s Oahu Beach Elopement

Gabriel actually surprised Aixa with this Oahu Beach Elopement, and we loved helping him plan every detail to surprise his lovely bride! He’d been planning everything throughout the past few months all without her knowing. And she was so shocked and happy that of course, this sweet gesture brought her to tears!

It’s safe to say this is an occasion neither of them will ever forget. We know we sure won’t! It’s not every day we get to be part of such a special Oahu Beach Elopement, and we are honored we got to celebrate with this happy couple. To make things even more exciting they’re expecting their first child together in October, and couldn’t be more thrilled!

Thank you so much, Aixa and Gabriel, for sharing this evening with Simple Oahu Wedding. We hope you’ll be back again soon to show your little babe where you said, “I do”. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

As Oahu wedding coordinators it is incredibly fun to create gorgeous wedding inspirational shoots. We love showing future clients just what is possible by adding a few individual touches to their weddings in Oahu.

Feast your eyes on this gorgeous Oahu beach wedding on Waimanalo Beach in East Oahu.

Why an Inspirational Shoot?

From time to time we set up a styled shoot with models to show what’s achievable for weddings in Oahu. Inspirational shoots are a great way to see available options for floral, clothing styles, wedding locations and time of day. Oahu beach weddings are beautiful without extra decor, but for the person who wants something extra, there are lots of options.

Breathtaking Wedding Floral

Our company values sustainable practices so we were in love with the idea of using only locally sourced florals. Floral Designer Debbie Hemingway came through with this fantastic bougainvillea dream arrangement. Bougainvillea grows wildly all over Hawaii and comes in these amazing vibrant colors. It is also very fickle, so it must be picked right before it is used in any arrangements. The bouquet was made from dried bougainvillea to ensure it looked good for the full shoot and stood up to the hot sun.

Timing of the Wedding is Important

We started this wedding shoot at the same time we would start a morning wedding. We wanted to show off the kind of light our clients can expect at that time of day. Because of the exceptionally gorgeous day on the morning of the shoot, we were able to show off Waimanalo Bay beach in all its glory. Waimanalo Bay offers towering mountains in the distance and unreal aqua watercolor.

We loved the way the hot pink and coral in the bougainvillea stood out against the aqua water. You can only get that color blue in the early part of the day, as the sun gets more overhead the blues of the water get softer.

Wedding Attire

For the bride’s wardrobe, we kept it simple with a fitted lace dress by Alexis. We procured the dress from Rent the Runway which had a great selection. We love the concept of using Rent the Runway for your wedding clothing. Rent the Runway makes fashion accessible to all and is a more sustainable option than buying a dress you will only wear once. For our groom, we scored stylish navy pants, light blue shirt, and floral print blue tie from our favorite store for bargains, Nordstrom Rack. Who doesn’t like one-stop shopping at great deals!?

Wedding Hair & Make-UP

Our friends at Reveal Hair and Make-Up did such a great job with the hair and makeup. We loved the idea of a bold lip to tie in the bright bougainvillea floral arrangements. The loose braid hairstyle kept the hair out of our model’s face and was perfect for the shoot! Beaches in Hawaii are notoriously windy so a manageable hairstyle is a must.

Wedding Photography

Our sister company Karma Hill Photography knocked it out of the park with their signature soft, airy, cinematic style. The airy photographic feel accentuated the vibrant color of the floral and light-colored beach sand contrasts. As Oahu wedding coordinators we believe quality photography is of the utmost importance. Having amazing wedding photography is the only way to capture the real beauty of your wedding day.

This Oahu wedding shoot was designed to inspire clients to think outside the box of what is possible. Oahu beach weddings and Elopements have tons of styling options so please reach out for ideas!

Special thanks to our models Megan and Tim. Megan is one of the photographers on the Karma Hill Photography team, so it was fun for her to get to feel what it is like to be in front of the camera. She said it gave her a new appreciation for what clients feel like on their wedding day. Tim was such a great sport and took the day off from work to start his modeling career 🙂 .

Participating in this Oahu Beach Elopement was an honor. While Trina and Cory have been a couple for 2.5 years, they’ve known each other much longer! And we just adore the way these two looked at each other. It’s obvious the love they share runs deep, leaving us confident they will have an amazing life together!

We especially love how Pastor John Fuchigami started their Oahu Beach Elopement off by playing the ukulele. He then offered a koa bowl and ti leaf blessing to make the ceremony even sweeter for them! One thing’s for sure, this is a day neither of them will ever forget and we are so glad we could be part of it. Thank you, Trina and Cory, for trusting Simple Oahu Wedding to help plan such a special occasion. We wish you every happiness on the journey ahead as husband and wife. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Samantha and Nathan have known each other since childhood due to being neighbors their whole life! So being part of their Oahu Elopement was truly special. A real story of the girl next door, how cute is that?! And we love how excited they both are for the journey ahead as husband and wife!

Prior to their ceremony beginning our bride shared a first look moment with her dad just before he walked her down the aisle. It was an incredibly touching experience for them both and we can’t get over the sweet hug they shared! An Oahu Elopement that includes just family members always makes for a memorable occasion ad we are so glad we got to be part it. Thank you, Samantha and Nathan, for trusting Simple Oahu Wedding to help plan the wedding of your dreams. We hope you are both enjoying our sister island of Maui for your honeymoon! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Lisa and Shelley’s Oahu Elopement was full of so much love! We could tell just by the way they looked at each other that they share an unbreakable bond. I mean seriously, they couldn’t keep their eyes off of each other! And we don’t blame them, they both looked absolutely radiant! We especially love that they both decided to wear wedding dresses. Don’t they look amazing?!

We can’t say enough about these brides! They were so much fun to work with for their Oahu Elopement and we loved helping make all of their wedding dreams come true. We’re confident it’s a day they will always hold close to their hearts! After their beautifully intimate ceremony, our newlyweds spent some time with our sister company Karma Hill Photography. Check out those amazing wedding portraits! We can’t get enough. With the waves crashing behind them and love in the air, this was an Oahu Elopement to remember. Thank you so much, Lisa and Shelley, for inviting Simple Oahu Wedding to celebrate with you on this very special occasion. We are inspired by the love you two share! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Even though it was their first time to Oahu, Erica and Chris chose the perfect location for their Oahu Beach Elopement. Just see for yourself! Yokohama Beach is located in a remote area of the island, making it virtually untouched from the world. It’s the ideal spot for an intimate ceremony for two!

As our bride and groom gathered on the sandy shore in front of an epic rock formation between them and the ocean, they were more than ready to say, “I do”. It was truly touching to witness as they exchanged heartfelt vows during their Oahu Beach Elopement! We adore this sign of commitment and love. It’s easy to see the love they share runs deep! We have every confidence these two will have the most amazing life together as husband and wife. And wish them all the best on the journey ahead! Thank you, Erica and Chris, for trusting Simple Oahu Wedding to plan this very special day. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!
