Recent Oahu Elopements

When Kailey and James planned their special day, they fell in love with the blog posts on Simple Maui Wedding. Once they realized similar services were available on other islands — they knew an Oahu beach elopement was for them! Scroll down to see this intimate affair for yourself!

The Oahu Beach Elopement

Kahu Kawena Mechler officiated this sunset wedding on the shores of Papailoa. This north Oahu beach set the perfect backdrop for their special day. In every picture captured by Karma Hill Photography, you can see how breathtaking this location was! We love how the ivory sand, cerulean water, and sensational lava rocks decorate the background exquisitely. Above all, every photo looks like a fairytale!

Our Couple’s Story

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. She said yes, but also no because they weren’t quite ready yet. Our lovely couple circled back to the question after they finished college and started their careers. Then in 2020, they publicly got engaged!

This occasion was our gorgeous couple’s first time in Hawaii! They were most excited to make this visit more remarkable with their wedding and honeymoon.

Since Kailey and James are an adventurous duo, eloping in Oahu was right up their alley! Most importantly, we’re glad we were able to be part of their delightful wedding day!

Currently, they moved to a new city and just recently finished settling in. We can’t wait to see what pictures they hang on the walls of their new home! There are so many enchanting shots to choose from!

Congratulations Kailey and James! It was a pleasure to be part of your elopement. We wish you a future full of free time in your ‘87 Volkswagen Westfalia!

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!

Flying in from Chicago for their Oahu beach elopement, Sara and Brandon were surrounded by paradise as they said their “I do’s.” It was a beautiful afternoon at Kualoa Regional Park Beach. The ocean was glistening and there was a perfect view of Chinaman’s Hat on the horizon. 

The Oahu Beach Elopement

Sara and Brandon wanted a simple yet beautiful option for their elopement, and Hawaii was the perfect place for both. It may have been just the two of them in person, but with our Virtually There Package, our couple was able to stream the event to loved ones back home. It was a sweet ceremony and we know there were some wet eyes back in Chicago! 

Our Couple’s Story

At six months pregnant, Sara looked absolutely glowing in her wedding gown. Their Oahu beach elopement isn’t just the start of their marriage, but the start of their life as a family. Together for two years, Sara and Brandon are excited to continue their journey together. There was no end to the happiness and joy during their beautiful ceremony.

Laura & Eddie told us that an Oahu Elopement sounded like a dream. They were never interested in a big wedding. Instead they wanted something relaxed and elegant in a beautiful setting. After months of planning, they finally had their dream ceremony. Surrounded by sparkling blue water and dramatic mountains, Laura & Eddie vowed to love each other for the rest of their life! We’re so glad we got to be a part of it, and we’re excited to share these photos!

About Our Couple

Laura & Eddie met in trialing times and in an unlikely place. They were strangers when they had family members suffer strokes at the same time. Laura’s grandfather and Eddie’s father shared a hospital room, separated by a curtain. They ended up seeing each other a lot as they visited the hospital, and soon a shared experience turned into shared love.

These kind souls both work in healthcare administration back home in Florida. They love spending time with their family and their sweet dogs. We’re sure everyone was cheering them on from back home!

Laura & Eddie stayed in Hawaii for 10 days while they were here for their Oahu elopement. First they enjoyed time in Oahu, and then relaxed in Maui too!

Tropical Elegance for an Oahu Elopement

We love Laura & Eddie’s wedding style! They wanted to have a relaxed vibe that was true to the tropical setting. However, they also wanted a touch of elegance and classic wedding style. We think they did a great job of balancing the two! Eddie’s light blue suit and Laura’s chic gown have a timeless look that complemented the look of Waimanalo Beach. And Laura’s floral from Sweet Blossoms Hawaii added the perfect tropical touch!

Keep scrolling to see how the lovely sunset light allowed for gorgeous Oahu Elopement photography!

Thank you so much, Laura & Eddie, for allowing us to coordinate your Oahu Elopement! We wish you all the best for a lifetime of happiness!

Few things are more adventurous and heartfelt than when a couple in love decides to elope in Oahu. And that’s exactly how Adriana and Frank chose to tie the knot! With their brilliant daughters in attendance and the cool, ocean breeze on their backs, this was a ceremony blessed with love and beauty. 

Why Elope in Oahu?

Adriana and Frank felt eloping in Oahu was the perfect way to have a wedding that was “boho, relaxed, carefree, fun, elegant, and classic.” With no bells and whistles to take care of, Adriana and Frank were able to be in the moment with their love, their union, and their children. 

The ceremony was simply beautiful. Adriana positively glowed in a boho gown with her hair down and blowing in the tropical breeze. It was so clear that our couple was deeply in love. After being together for ten years, Adriana and Frank have built a relationship rooted in honor and commitment, so taking that next step into marriage came naturally in their journey. 

The sweet moment when Adriana and Frank gave both their daughter’s leis signified their union not just as a couple, but as a family.

Who needs rice when you have rose petals? And who needs church bells when you have the roar of the ocean? Adriana and Frank’s wedding day was an island dream! Almost as beautiful as their sweet family!

Our Couple’s Story

Adriana and Frank met through a mutual friend and clicked instantly. One day, Frank surprised Adriana by saying he had a present for her. But it wasn’t just any old present! When she got home, he gave her a little bag with a box inside it. And in that box was the ring that started it all!

Adriana says she was not expecting it! And now here they are, taking those steps to elope in Oahu and begin their lives as a married couple. Keep browsing for more beautiful photos of Adriana and Frank, their daughters, and their special day! 

Mahalo nui loa, Adriana and Frank, for choosing us to help you elope in Oahu. It was a joyous day, and we were honored to be a part of it. Wishing you all the love and magic in the future ahead!

Waimanalo Bay Beach is always beautiful, but it’s especially so when a couple as sweet and in love as Zi and Eric are on the shore. The evening was breezy and shaded for their Oahu Beach Elopement, which created a comfortable atmosphere and soft lighting. Eric has had the joy of visiting the island regularly for the last thirty years, and now he has the immense pleasure to share that joy with the love of his life. 

The Oahu Beach Elopement 

Kahu Kawena opened the ceremony with welcoming and heartfelt words. The love shared between our couple was so clear. Zi and Eric tightly held hands throughout the ceremony and deeply gazed into each other’s eyes. When asked, Eric had said he hoped their Oahu Beach Elopement would be loving, happy, relaxed, and beautiful. We can officially say it checked all the boxes!

There was no limit to the happiness on the shore that day, and our beautiful couple was able to simply relax and be in the moment. What more could anyone hope for on their wedding day? We’re so thrilled to help make their dreams come true. 

Our Couple’s Story

Zi and Eric met on the web and chatted for a little while to get to know each other. They knew their typing skills had chemistry, but a few weeks later they felt it was time to test out their person-to-person chemistry. They’d planned for a three-mile hike… but then plans changed! That three-mile hike turned into a twelve-hour date with lunch AND dinner!

From that moment on, they were practically inseparable, and their love has only grown deeper and sweeter since. Just look at these incredible shots from Karma Hill Photography. The love between these two is almost tangible. 

Our couple had first planned to get engaged in Oahu, but when they thought about it, they realized they wanted to get engaged sooner and elope in Oahu instead. So while they were close to home, Eric took Zi to her favorite beach in Half Moon Bay. “Once there, we poured our hearts out to each other,” Eric said. “Then I got down on my knee and proposed, and she made me the happiest man by immediately answering ‘Yes!’” And we can’t wait for Zi and Eric to have even more adventures as husband and wife! 

Congratulations Zi and Eric! We wish you all the very best in the decades ahead!

Last week we joined Auna & John on the calm shores of Paradise Cove for their Hawaii Beach Elopement. It was the ideal wedding for such an easygoing couple! With family on the island and the backdrop already decorated by Mother Nature, our couple felt Oahu was the perfect place for a low-key elopement.

The Hawaii Beach Elopement

With a handful of loved ones watching on, Auna and John had the simple and easygoing wedding of their dreams. Set on the golden sands of Paradise Cove Beach, the day was nothing short of beautiful. The sun drifted low on the horizon and highlighted the ocean with golden light. Our couple dressed for the occasion with laidback styles perfectly fitted for a Hawaii Beach Elopement! Who needs shoes when the sand is this soft! 

We loved Auna’s short and playful wedding dress. It was a great choice for a day filled with so many smiles. Her fern and orchid flower crown topped it off and added an elegant tropical touch. Speaking of touch, how touching are these two?! Auna and John’s sweet smiles and intimate looks as they exchanged vows spoke volumes of the deep love they share. 

Our Couple’s Story

Auna and John like to say they met “in the wild.” There were no dating profiles for these two, just a serendipitous night out with friends! Their chemistry was immediate, and they’ve been inseparable ever since! When the moment was right, John proposed in the comfort of their home, which was exactly what Auna had hoped for. 

Now they keep themselves entertained by exploring new places to eat, working out together, and playing with their two cute fur kittens. Scroll on for more of Auna and John’s beautiful day! 

Congratulations, Auna and John! Thank you for choosing us to coordinate your Hawaii beach elopement. We wish you all the happiness and joy in the years ahead!
