In 2016, Nicole and Ruobin first visited Hawaii! Although they were here for a Nursing Conference, they immediately fell in love with the island. This trip was when our charming duo decided to have an Oahu destination wedding! Their sunset occasion was full of personality and elegance — perfect for our passionate pair. Keep scrolling to see their special day for yourself.

Kualoa Secret Island was the location for Nicole and Ruobin’s wedding — this venue created a breathtaking scene! We adore this private spot because it’s tranquil, picturesque, and dreamy. Dramatic mountains, lush greenery, and cerulean water created an enchanting background! Then the heavy cloud coverage and soft blue sky enhanced the romantic and intimate ambiance. Above all, you can see how this occasion looks like a tropical fairytale in every shot!

Why We Love Oahu Destination Wedding

Ever since Nicole and Ruobin first visited Oahu, they knew it’d be the perfect place to get married! We adore how this sunset occasion was bohemian, carefree, and fun. The shoreline has beautiful decorations! Standing at the front of the ceremony was a two-post wooden arch from O’ahu Wedding Altars. Then our bride and her bridesmaid’s bouquets are whimsical and elegant — they pair flawlessly with the flower arrangements on the archway!

Our Couple’s Story

Nicole and Ruobin’s story began when they first met at the movies. At the time, they attended different schools but had mutual friends. Ruobin asked Nicole to be his girlfriend after they watched Pearl Harbor on May 27, 2001. Then on New Year’s Day in 2021, Ruobin popped the question! Our groom had a plan with Nicole’s sister and friends for this significant moment. Unfortunately, Nicole hurt her back, so his proposal got derailed!

Congratulations, Nicole and Ruobin! Thank you for sharing your Oahu destination wedding with us! We wish you a future full of love, abundance, and happiness!

Lindsay & Matthew’s wedding in Oahu was so beautiful, and their love story warms our hearts. Rev. Kimo officiated a faith-based ceremony for the sweet couple, who were joined by a small group of family. When they started planning their wedding, they dreamed of a relaxing event in a beautiful setting. We are so glad we could help make that happen for them!

And now it’s time to reveal some of their gorgeous photos! We’re so excited to relive Lindsay & Matthew’s special day!

“I Do” Again

Lindsay & Matthew had a wedding in Oahu 13 years ago. Since then, they have had two adorable children who are their pride and joy. But they also experienced challenges that led them down different paths. Some things are simply meant to be, though. And so, as they grew up, they also grew to find themselves in love again.

Now they returned to Hawaii to marry again, this time with a better understanding of themselves and each other. We’ve seen a lot of great couples, and we can tell when a love is extra special. Lindsay & Matthew have an extra special bond that is made to weather the storms and bring joy to the entire family.

We’re so glad we witnessed this ceremony and this incredible relationship.

Sacred Vows at Secret Island

Secret Island is one of our favorite Oahu wedding venues. It’s a private sandy beach at Kualoa Ranch. It features calm water, tall palm trees, and scenic mountain views. This location is so secluded that you must take a special ferry to the ceremony site. What a magical way to bookend your wedding in Oahu!

After their ceremony, Lindsay & Matthew took some portraits around the venue. There are so many great photo ops at Secret Island that we could have stayed for hours. But before long, it was time to send the newlyweds off to celebrate. So we got some final shots of them at the ferry landing and bid them a warm aloha!

Congratulations, Lindsay & Matthew. We are so grateful for this chance to be a part of your Magical Oahu Venue Wedding!

The Romantic Venue Wedding in Maui

Then the heavy cloud coverage and soft sunset enhanced the dreamy ambiance.

Why We Love Their Oahu Venue Wedding

We can’t get enough of these wedding pictures by Karma Hill Photography! We especially like how they captured all the meaningful events from this ceremony. Kahu Kawena Mechler was the officiant, and she delivered a heartfelt sermon! She even included a moment of silence to honor Adrian’s parents, Marry and Oscar, who passed away.

Dalia and Adrian styled the shoreline with an elegant circle arch and bamboo chairs from Aloha Artisans! Next, we like how they adorned this curve with two tropical floral arrangements from Dellables.

Our Couple’s Story

Dalia and Adrian met one another at work, and they bonded instantly! Our bride says Adrian’s sense of humor would never leave her thoughts. Unfortunately, Dalia’s schedule changed. After this, our delightful duo stopped seeing one another at work. Thankfully, they reconnected on Facebook! After being together for ten years, Adrian popped the question with Dalia’s family around them! Our stunning couple had a Hawaii wedding because Dalia dreamt of having a grounding but unifying ceremony on the island!

Congratulations, Dalia and Adrian! Thank you for letting us be part of your fascinating wedding day. We wish you a future full of outdoor adventures, scenic hikes, and quality time with your dogs!

The deep tones contrast with the soft light shades effortlessly. All the leaves are a soft green color; they look pleasant with the burgundy berries.

Our Couple’s Story

Claire and AJ first met at Colorado State University, when mutual friends introduced them to one other. After a few years together, our cute couple got engaged in 2019 following a romantic dinner. AJ wrote Claire a heartfelt note and popped the question at home! During their relationship, they’ve had to spend several years long-distance. Now, they are thankful they don’t have to be apart again!

This getaway was our adventurous couple’s first time in Hawaii! COVID derailed many of their travel plans, and they have always wanted to visit the islands. Having a wedding in Oahu was perfect because they got to enjoy paradise and have a magical ceremony!

Congratulations, Claire and AJ! Thank you so much for letting us be part of your special day. We wish you a future full of love and happiness!

In 2018, they got engaged on a cruise to the Caribbean. Christopher had the ring in his pocket, but it accidentally fell out. This mishap caused him to do an impromptu proposal. He saved the day by getting down onto one knee and popping the magic question on a whim! To this day, Elizabeth thinks it’s a funny story!

This Oahu destination wedding was our adventurous couple’s first time in Hawaii! They have always wanted to visit because of the riveting culture, dreamy scenery, and peaceful energy. Above all, they got to explore a new place as newlyweds!
