When our lovely couple Hailey and Ian got engaged at the DuPont National Forest, where they had their first date (so sweet), they envisioned their special day somewhere tropical where they could start their newlywed lives in paradise! Ian wanted a tropical honeymoon, and Hailey wanted an exciting new place to explore together and start their married life. Thankfully, they stumbled across our company, and their dream of an Oahu destination wedding and tropical honeymoon came to life! And what a gorgeous day it was for their ” I, dos!”



Hailey made a gorgeous entrance on the sandy aisle at Kualoa Ranch Secret Island with a vibrant tropical bouquet, highlighting the natural beauty of the island! The sun was bright, and their guests and family were so happy to have made the journey for their Oahu destination wedding! The love and joy were palpable throughout their entire day in paradise… The tropical ambiance created a magical and surreal feel. Palm trees and turquoise waters add that little extra something something to a simple and elegant beach wedding. It was an honor to bring all the elements together for our happy couples’ dream celebration!




















Hailey and Ian look so happy in these first few moments of newlywed life! They savored every minute and couldn’t contain their love and excitement. The natural beauty of the surroundings enhanced the romance of the moment. These newlywed portraits feel as if they have paradise all to themselves! Their Oahu destination wedding hit all the right notes for a tropical beach wedding to perfection! The swaying palm trees and the mountain views by the fish pond were just a few elements that made their day feel extra special…

Have you ever dreamed of getting married in a place that takes your breath away? For Arielle and Kevin, Hawaii was the ultimate dream for their vows. Our team was delighted to coordinate their Oahu venue wedding in a beautiful paradise that they have visited many times before. They could not think of a better place to say their vows and celebrate with loved ones! We have to agree! Let’s re-live their amazing day again!





Our beautiful couple shares a deep connection, as they are both introverts who understand each other perfectly. Their engagement story is just as romantic as their Oahu venue wedding day! Kevin proposed to Arielle at their home in an intimate and personal setting. (Just what she envisioned!) As they enjoyed a delicious meal, Arielle noticed a white mug on her side of the table. When she finished her drink, she saw the words “Will you marry me?” at the bottom of the mug. And when she turned around, Kevin was already on one knee with the ring…how romantic (and clever) is that!?
Their big day at the Royal Hawaiian Golf Course was nothing short of spectacular! The beautiful arch was the perfect backdrop for their ceremony, and the lush lawn and dramatic tropical scenery added to the event’s charm. Even their 16-month-old daughter Ava was part of the festivities, serving as their flower girl!













Our photographer captured every moment of their special day, from the stunning tropical scenery to the joyous expressions of our happy newlyweds! These two look so happy together, soaking up all the love and glowing from head to toe! We are so happy for these two!
We love the all-white look Arielle opted for her bridal attire…she looks like a glowing goddess! Kevin’s sharp navy suit is always a classic option. So stylish and elegant…






All of us at Simple Oahu Wedding wish Arielle and Kevin all the love and happiness in the world! May you have many more wonderful years together with your little girl!

Sammy and Drex’s Oahu venue wedding was a truly special day for this incredible couple! They wanted something simple and stress-free, especially since they were planning their wedding from out of state. They opted for a family/close friends wedding which felt like the perfect fit for them! Sammy and Drex loved that they could also have the live stream/recording option, so all of their loved ones could be a part of their special day…
“It was love at first swipe!” Drex told us before their big day. Their love story began with a swipe on a dating app, and much to their surprise, it actually worked! Sammy was in Arizona, and Drex was in the Philippines. But they talked every single day and soon realized they were each other’s biggest supporters. Sammy said even though long-distance relationships can be tough, when they’re with the right person, they’re easy! This happy pair proved that belief to fullest! So let’s re-live their amazing day with us through these beautiful photos below…



Their Oahu venue wedding was at Kualoa Secret Island in the Moli’i Gardens, nestled by the fish ponds. It was so serene and beautiful… The tranquil beauty of this little spot felt like a secret garden in a tropical oasis. We loved how Sammy made a grand entrance on the magnificent stairwell, and everyone was so happy to join in their celebrations! Drex couldn’t stop smiling at his beautiful bride!














But what struck us most about these lovebirds was how giggly and full of laughter they were! It was evident that they are the best of friends and truly enjoy each other’s company. We walked around the lush lawns and by the dock, capturing just the two of them to savor the romantic moment. There is something about water and lush greenery that makes you feel like you’re in a secret garden!
Sammy and Drex look so incredibly happy together, and it was an honor to capture these special moments! The joyful laughter, tender moments, embraces, and kisses were just the first of many in their next chapter together…



















Sammy looks stunning in her classic gown with the mermaid train. We love how Drex matched her with a white embroidered tunic! They are the picture of newlywed bliss…





Congratulations, Sammy and Drex! We’re so happy for you both and wish you all the best in your journey together as husband and wife. May your love continue to grow and flourish, and may you always find joy and laughter in each other’s arms!

Have you ever heard of high school sweethearts who went the distance and got married? Well, that’s exactly what happened with Josh and Samantha! They met in World History class in high school, and after almost a decade together, they tied the knot at their Oahu venue wedding!
Samantha was in love with the island when she visited with her mom, and she thought, “I’d love to get married here one day!” Since Josh’s family has roots in Oahu, he and Samantha knew it was the perfect place to celebrate their love story. It was the icing on the cake, and a dream come true!




Their big day at Paradise Cove was an intimate and laid-back affair, full of love and happiness. The fresh green and tropical colors of their beach wedding perfectly complemented the island’s natural splendor.
As they exchanged their vows on the sandy beach surrounded by their loved ones, Josh and Samantha looked so natural and at ease. Their love shines through every photograph from their wedding day!













After their sweet Oahu venue wedding ceremony, our happy newlyweds snuck off with our photographer to capture a few inimate moments by the water’s edge. Samantha and Josh are so ready for their future together after almost ten years of dating! (A lot of that was long distance too!) Once Josh is finished his commitment to the Air Force, they are hoping to move back closer to family to start a family! But for now, they embraced the present moment and their newlywed bliss!









Congratulations to Samantha and Josh, and here’s to many more years of love and joy together! We are so happy to have made your dream Hawaii wedding come true!

We always get excited for a Kualoa Ranch Secret Island Wedding! This dreamy spot is far away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and feels incredibly serene. Last week, Jason & Jodie had a stunning wedding at this spot, and we loved every moment of it.
Live music, swaying palm trees, emotional vows, and a touch of humor — everything a relaxed beach wedding in Hawaii should be.
Check out some of their Oahu wedding photography below!




Jason & Jodie are a joyful couple, always ready to share a laugh and find adventure. So marrying in Hawaii seemed like a natural choice. So many details needed to come together: song choices, guest lists, vacation plans, color pallet. But first, they needed to find the perfect place.
After some research, they decided a Kualoa Ranch Secret Island would be perfect for them. This scenic spot became a place where all their other wedding dreams could come true. It was a unique experience for their guests, who could enjoy this hidden gem of a wedding venue. It allowed everyone to sit comfortably for the ceremony without worrying about beachgoers and permitting restrictions.
And the natural beauty of this place allowed Jason & Jodie to create a simple yet meaningful plan that was true to who they are as a couple.
We’re so glad we could help them put this all together. This Kualoa Ranch Secret Island wedding was a vision brought to life. Jason & Jodie’s style, Simple Oahu’s expertise, and the special magic you can only find in Hawaii.













We love the private, emotional ceremonies at Secret Island in Oahu. The distraction-free setting allows everyone to be fully present. But after the couple shares their first kiss and jaunts back up the aisle, there is still a lot of fun ahead of us.
That’s because we still get to take wedding portraits! This is the couple’s chance to take in the beauty of this incredible place. A Kualoa Ranch Secret Island wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and portrait time is a chance to slow down and be in the moment.
It’s also a really special time for the couple. This was Jason & Jodie’s first few moments as newlyweds, and their romantic energy was incredible. They’re at ease with each other but also totally infatuated. This means their portraits were breezy yet elegant, stylish yet authentic.
And their Oahu wedding venue had so many stunning backdrops, so we were able to capture both the couple and their wedding location.
Keep scrolling to see more of their wedding photos!















Congratulations, Jason & Jodie! We loved being a part of your Hawaii wedding and wish you a lifetime of happiness!

“Hawaii has been one of our dream destinations, and our wedding seemed to like the best occasion to celebrate there!” Anita told our wedding coordinators before her Oahu venue wedding! The Latvian couple had been dreaming of this moment ever since their engagement by the Hollywood sign, and it was truly a delight to see their dream wedding come to life on their special day! See how their intimate wedding unfolded in these beautiful photographs below…





As Anita walked down the petal-laden aisle, all eyes turned toward her – she looked absolutely stunning! Anita and Aivars share a geeky, fun-loving relationship, and their love and deep friendship were palpable in every moment of their Oahu venue ceremony! Aivars’ mother and Anita’s best friend were there to share the special day with the happy couple…
Our lovely couple had always dreamt of Hawaii as one of their bucket-list destinations, and what better occasion to visit than their wedding! They chose to have their ceremony at Paradise Cove Luau Point, overlooking the stunning coastline. With plenty of tropical elements, from palm trees to turquoise waters, it was the perfect spot for their intimate celebration! Although they are a long way from Latvia, home was and will always be found in each other’s arms…cheers to you both!





















The beach was calling the happy newlyweds after their intimate ceremony! They couldn’t wait to go down to the water’s edge to bask in their bliss… You can feel genuine happiness in these beautiful newlywed portraits! They make such gorgeous pair, and it was a privilege to coordinate their dream wedding for them!







We wish Anita and Aivars a lifetime of love and happiness filled with travel, adventure, and plenty of geeky moments! May you carry the aloha spirit forever in your hearts…Congratulations to the happy couple once again!

We recently had the pleasure of coordinating Jessica and Steven’s Oahu venue wedding at the Crystal Chapel at Paradise Cove in Ko’olina! Our happy couple was so excited to tie the knot with their friends and family in attendance on their beautiful day. All heads turned when our beautiful bride Jessica first stepped into the chapel with her delicate veil trailing behind her down the glossy aisle – simply stunning! Steven was nearly in tears when he saw her! As you’ll see in their beautiful photographs below, it is a family-orientated and romantic celebration these two will never forget!




The crystal-shaped window is simply breathtaking for their vows – it took our breath away! The chapel is filled with light and love for the happy couple! Their friends and family looked on with pride and love as they exchanged their heartfelt vows. Family is so important to Jessica and Steven, and thankfully there was plenty of space to accommodate everyone!





















After their ethereal Oahu venue wedding ceremony, we walked down to the shoreline to capture some newlywed portraits! We love how Jessica donned a stunning tropical haku flower crown! A flower crown can really make a bride feel special and celebratory! Jessica wears it beautifully…




It was a joy to work with you both! We hope you had a wonderful day with your family! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and love!

On a bright blue day full of sunshine, Annie and Billy tied the knot at their Oahu venue wedding! These two met on a dating app while Annie was in nursing school and Billy served in the navy. The stars aligned when they met, and both felt incredibly lucky to have met when they did! After two years of dating long distance, they finally got engaged, and their big day arrived on March 23rd! Relive their beautiful day with us through these highlights below!



They couldn’t have asked for a better location for their vows! The breathtaking scenery and privacy of Secret Island were exactly what our happy couple had hoped for. The ocean blues and greenery created a beautiful feeling of harmony and serenity for their guests too! We love the circle arch they included to serve as a tropical altar, too…picture perfect!













What we loved about their Oahu venue wedding was all of the tropical details of their special day, from Annie’s vibrant bouquet to the turquoise waters! One reason they chose to marry in Oahu was that Billy visited Honolulu during his time in the Navy, and Annie had always wanted to visit. And most importantly, they wanted a fun, low-stress wedding, and Hawaii seemed like the perfect place!

It was incredibly romantic, with the swaying palm trees framing their newlywed portraits. Annie radiated happiness! What a beautiful beach bride she makes…And we love how Billy wore pug socks to honor their pup at home!
After a few beach portraits, our newlyweds took advantage of the serene fish pond at Kualoa Ranch. The dramatic cliffs in the distance added another layer of tropical perfection to their already magnificent Oahu venue wedding!















Congratulations, Annie and Billy! We hope you had a fantastic day! Best of luck in the years ahead!
