Recent Oahu Elopements

Some love stories feel like they were meant to unfold beside the ocean—and Lupe and Brian’s Oahu beach wedding at Paradise Cove Beach was a beautiful, sun-kissed celebration of ten wonderful years of exactly that kind of love.

These two have been adventuring together for a decade, starting from a little beach town in Southern California—Hermosa Beach, to be exact—where their story first began. After a few years of being “just friends” in a shared circle, they took a trip to New York City and fell in love in the most cinematic way possible. Since then? It’s been a globe-spanning romance filled with travel, laughter, and the sweetest little third wheel: their daughter, Annika.

From the Great Barrier Reef to Paradise Cove

When Brian proposed in Australia—yes, in Cairns, at the Great Barrier Reef—they knew that a beach wedding was inevitable. It was a full-circle kind of choice. After all, they met at the beach, fell in love in the city, and got engaged by the sea. A wedding on the shores of Oahu, surrounded by the people they love most, felt like the perfect next chapter.

And oh, was it ever.

Their Oahu beach wedding at Paradise Cove was nothing short of breathtaking. The sky was impossibly blue, the waves gentle and glittering, and the entire day glowed with that dreamy Hawaiian light. Lupe looked radiant—graceful, elegant, and full of joy. Brian, proud and smiling wide, looked at her like she was the only person on the planet. (Spoiler: to him, she probably is.)

Annika was the sweetest part of all—beaming with excitement and adding an extra layer of magic to an already incredible day.

A Life Full of Traditions and Big Love

Brian and Lupe’s lives are the perfect mix of tradition and adventure. He’s an electrical engineer working on warfare radars (yes, actual radar systems that detect drones—so cool), and Lupe is a Director of Finance for a nonprofit that serves blind and disabled individuals (also amazing). They spend their winters skiing and snowboarding, and every summer, they return to Brian’s hometown of Beaverton, Oregon, where Annika proudly rides in her dad’s 30-year-old Derby car in the 4th of July parade. It’s a family full of heart, history, and love for the little moments.

Paradise, Promises, and Forever

Their wedding day was lovely in the most effortless way. It was warm, heartfelt, and full of laughter—just like them. The photos from their day show everything: the golden light, the barefoot joy, the way they all fit together like pieces of a storybook you want to keep reading. It was such a sweet family moment as you’ll see!

Congratulations, Lupe & Brian!

Your Oahu beach wedding was a beautiful celebration of a decade of love, growth, and the kind of partnership that only deepens with time. We’re so honored to have captured your story on such a magical day. Here’s to ten more years (and then ten more after that!) of travel, love, and salty ocean breeze.

Dana and Dale’s love story is a testament to the magic of second chances. Having first met in 2010 as journalists in Carbondale, Illinois—Dale a newspaper reporter, and Dana a TV reporter—their romance sparked but was dimmed by distance when Dana moved to Ohio for a new job.

And after some heartfelt visits, the decision was clear—they wanted forever.

Their enchanting Oahu beach wedding took place at Waialae Beach, with the golden sands and sparkling ocean as witnesses to their love. Dana, a vision of a tropical goddess, adorned a stunning flower crown and a custom bouquet, radiating beauty and joy. Dale embraced the aloha spirit with his vibrant aloha shirt, embodying the laid-back vibe of his beloved Oahu.

Family and friends gathered to celebrate this new chapter, filling the day with warmth and happiness! The sunshine mirrored the radiance of the couple, casting a glow on their intimate moments and shared smiles. It was a day that perfectly blended Dale’s 50th birthday, their wedding, and honeymoon—a true trifecta of joy!

A Tropical Affair

Amidst the gentle waves and tropical breezes, the couple sealed their commitment, marking the start of their journey together. Moreover, with Dana’s love for yoga and farmers markets, and Dale’s passion for live music and the Pittsburgh Steelers, their shared adventures will surely be vibrant and full of laughter!

Congratulations to Dana and Dale on their beautiful Oahu wedding! May your days be as sunny and joyful as your wedding day, filled with endless love and new discoveries as you explore life together in Detroit. So here’s to a future as bright and beautiful as the beaches of Hawaii!
