Recent Oahu Elopements

Olivia and Gama have never been to Hawaii before. However, after seeing all the beautiful places on this island, they knew they should elope in Oahu! This ceremony is elegant, dreamy, and romantic. In addition, this sunset occasion was intimate — especially since Olivia and Gama only shared this experience with each other! Everything about this evening was flawless, so keep scrolling to fall in love with it!

Papa’iloa Beach was the perfect location for this elopement! When we started, the sun’s rays reflected off the cerulean water. The natural brilliance made this North Oahu spot feel enchanting. Then the picturesque landscapes enhanced the dreamy ambiance! Surrounding Olivia and Gama are striking lava rocks, ivory sand, and lush greenery. Above all, we like how clear the weather is. The sky looks like an exquisite painting in every shot!

Why They Eloped in Oahu

Olivia and Gama fell in love with the variety of scenery this island has to offer. Then, they liked our organization and services at Simple Oahu Wedding. Since they’ve never been to Hawaii before, they wanted to find a team who’d make sure their day felt like a dream! Thankfully, they made the right choice and put their trust in us. Most importantly, we wouldn’t have changed anything about this memorable event. Olivia and Gama’s intimate elopement was simple, spiritual, and tranquil — ideal for them! 

Our Couple’s Story

Our adventurous duo’s story began when they met in college and started dating long-distance for two years. When Gama’s family visited them in Illinois, they had a big bonfire with all their loved ones. During this event was when Gama popped the question to Olivia! Currently, Olivia and Gama have been together for five years. Not to mention, they recently purchased their first home! 

Since they first started dating, Olivia and Gama have always wanted to visit the Aloha State. They’re also huge fans of Hawaii 5-O! When it was time for them to get married, they knew eloping in Oahu would be perfect for them!

Congratulations, Olivia and Gama! Thank you for letting us be part of your lovely wedding day. We wish you a future full of outdoor adventures with your pitbull, Izzy!

There’s no better feeling than knowing you’re tying the know with your best friend in the perfect way! Sian and Matthew’s Oahu beach elopement was peaceful, intimate, and heartwarming. In every shot captured by Karma Hill Photography, you can tell how joyful this radiant duo is to be getting married in paradise! If you want a reason to smile, then continue scrolling.

Sian and Matthew got to the shores together. However, they didn’t see one another before the ceremony! Once their vehicle arrived at the beach, Matthew got out first. Then, when she was ready, Sian made her way down the seaside! Above all, our favorite moment was when our groom turned around and saw his bride. You could see nothing but adoration and happiness on both of their faces!

The Intimate Oahu Beach Elopement

Next, it was time for the ceremony to begin! Kahu Dennis Chong-Imamura was the officiant for this event, and he delivered a meaningful sermon. Since NA Films was the videographer, they documented this sunset occasion effortlessly! Now, their friends and family can experience this magical elopement for themselves.

Sian and Matthew don’t like having a lot of attention. Thankfully, a secret Oahu beach elopement couldn’t have been more fitting for them! There were no guests in attendance, so this event was intimate and private. Above all, we adore the simplicity of this occasion! Our beautiful duo was able to savor this moment and focus on their love for one another.

Not to mention, Papailoa Beach created a romantic ambiance for this sunset occasion. The heavy cloud coverage and the soft glow from the sun enhanced the enchanting scene. Surrounding our charming couple are breathtaking landscapes! Striking lava rocks, ivory sand, and cerulean waves are decorating the background in every portrait!

Congratulations, Sian and Matthew! Thank you for letting us be part of your intimate wedding day. We wish you a future full of love, abundance, and happiness!

Getting married is a sacred occasion. Whether your loved ones are in attendance or you elope, it should always be magical. For Duan and Ross, their Oahu destination wedding was perfect because it was just the two of them! Keep scrolling to see this gorgeous event for yourself.

The Oahu Destination Wedding

Duan and Ross wanted an intimate, fun, and romantic wedding. And Kualoa Regional Beach was the perfect spot for this occasion. The weather was flawless, with the vibrant morning sun lighting up the sky and a few clouds scattered around! We love how the luminous glow from the sun creates such a warm ambiance in every portrait captured by Karma Hill Photography. Our beautiful couple already looks like they’re in their own world, but the romantic lighting enhances it!

Our lovely couple had an Oahu destination wedding because they wanted to surprise their friends and family. Instead of having a grand wedding, the idea of having a small private ceremony enticed them. Duan and Ross eloped with no one but themselves and the breathtaking Hawaiian scenery surrounding them. You can’t get more intimate than this ceremony!

Our bride’s Rustic Hawaiian Bouquet and matching flower crown are so vibrant in every portrait. We love how Duan’s elegant hair and makeup go beautifully with her chic dress. You can never go wrong with an off-the-shoulder gown for a beach wedding. Most importantly, she makes such a breathtaking bride!

Our Couple’s Story

Ross and Duan’s story began when they met through a mutual friend while attending the University of California, Riverside. During their academic years, they became good friends and stayed in touch post-graduation. One day, Ross asked Duan on a date to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. From there, their friendship blossomed into something more serious!

Our beautiful couple got engaged while taking a trip to Seattle, Washington. Ross popped the magic question to Duan at the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum! Currently, they have been together for eight delightful years. They’re excited to start this new chapter in their lives: married life! Above all, we’re happy they started this next phase in their relationship with an Oahu destination wedding!

Congratulations, Duan and Ross! Mahalo Nui Loa for letting us be part of such a heartwarming day. We wish you a future full of new travels, fascinating cultures, and delicious foods!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Our beautiful couple tied the knot on the pearly shores of Kualoa! When planning their wedding, they wanted something fun, relaxed, and intimate. They chose the perfect location! Although this beach can get busy, it’s very spacious. We were able to find a secluded corner on the shoreline for their ceremony!

Our Couple’s Story

Amber and Perry’s story started when they met in August 2016 on a popular online dating site. Upon meeting, the sparks flew — they knew it was meant to be! In 2019, they traveled to New Zealand, and Perry created the perfect proposal. He popped the magic question on Great Barrier Island with a custom ring they designed together. The moment we learned this, it was no surprise they had an Oahu beach wedding!

Currently, they have been together for five years and have a rescue dog named Mika! Perry is an Automotive Engineer, while Amber works for a local nonprofit. In their spare time, you can find them hiking, traveling, trying new restaurants, and doing home improvement projects. Most importantly, they always find time to be silly with one another!

You get to experience all of the island’s natural beauty at this Eastside spot! On one side you have the striking mountains, and the ultramarine ocean is on the other side. Above all, we love how our gorgeous couple took advantage of all the different landscapes! With all of these stunning shots, they’ll have no problem remembering their beach wedding in Oahu!

Kailey and James met when they were freshmen in college. They have been inseparable ever since the first day of the semester! In 2016, James asked Kailey to marry him.

Last week, Kara and Travis chose to elope in Oahu on the beautiful shore of Kualoa Beach. With only a few guests but plenty of love to go around, this was a simple yet elegant wedding filled with tropical beauty. 

Elope in Oahu

Kara and Travis chose to elope in Oahu because it was a “dream.” Neither of them had ever visited Hawaii, and who doesn’t want to say “I do” on our spectacular shores! Kara and Travis’ ceremony was broadcasted back home with our “Virtually There Package.” So although the guest count was small, Kara and Travis were able to share their beautiful elopement with friends and family back home. It was truly the best of both worlds! 

Our Couple’s Story

Kara and Travis met while they were young. Kara was best friends with Travis’ sister, but they didn’t see each other very often. Travis and Kara went their separate ways until one special day when Kara’s cousin mentioned that Travis worked with her. Kara said, “Give him my number” and was surprised when he called! They hit it off right away and knew they were meant to be! 

Together, Travis and Kara form a blended family with four beautiful children and love to spend time with family, try new restaurants, and travel to new places–like Oahu! Keep scrolling for more of our amazing couple and gorgeous photography as they elope in Oahu!

Congratulations, Kara and Travis! It was a joy helping you bring your dream into reality! We wish you all the very best in the future!
