Visiting a new destination will always be full of fresh experiences. For Marra and Dylan, their first time in Hawaii was full of unforgettable moments. When they left, they had breathtaking memories of their Oahu venue wedding and honeymoon! Keep scrolling to see these photographs for yourself.







Our lovely couple wanted a relaxing, intimate, and romantic wedding. The Royal Hawaiian Golf Club is private, scenic, and lush — perfect for Marra and Dylan’s special day! In the photos captured by Karma Hill Photography, you can see the lavish rainforest and sensational mountains surrounding the ceremony. We love how the vivid greenery and foggy sky create a dream-like scene. Most importantly, every shot looks as if it’s a fairytale!








This adventurous couple has moved to multiple states and cities. Right now, they call Las Vegas, Nevada home! When we learned this, we knew an Oahu venue wedding was perfect for them!








Marra and Dylan’s story began when they met thirteen years ago in middle school. At first, they actually disliked each other quite a bit. After a while of getting to know each other, they ended up becoming inseparable best friends! Although they didn’t end up dating until after high school, it didn’t take long for them to know they found the one! Our beautiful couple moved in together right away and have been in a relationship ever since.





Currently, they have three fur babies named Jude, Lucy, and Harley, and a feathered baby named Pistachio. Marra is a veterinary technician, while Dylan is a business sales support specialist. You can find them exploring, finding new bars or restaurants, and watching Netflix.









Congratulations, Marra and Dylan! It was so much fun getting to know you both. We wish you a future full of new adventures and lighthearted moments.

Jonah and Chelsey tied the knot in the most enchanting location! With their close friends and family surrounding them, this Oahu venue wedding is one you’ll never forget. Keep scrolling to experience it for yourself!







Dreamy, intimate, and elegant are three words we’d use to describe Jonah and Chelsey’s special day. With fairytale-like views and lush greenery — the Kualoa Ranch Secret Island set the perfect stage. As soon as you step foot off the boat, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a romantic paradise!



Did you notice how radiant Chelsey is? You can see how her hair and makeup are both natural but classic. The soft white of her wedding dress looks beautiful with the vibrant rustic Hawaiian bouquet in her hands! Above all, we love how the veil is laying delicately on her head and shoulders! She is such a magical bride!












The first people to arrive were Jonah and their six wedding guests. We love this place because it is spacious and has breathtaking views! A few minutes later was when Chelsey made her grand entrance at the Oahu venue wedding.
Our glowing bride gracefully walked down the shore with her brother by her side! You could see the excitement in the guests’ eyes and the love in our charming couple’s faces. It was such a heartwarming moment to witness! After their flawless ceremony was over, they went to Waikiki for dinner.




All of these photos captured by Karma Hill Photography are exquisite! It’s so hard to choose which one is our favorite one. We can’t wait to see which ones Jonah and Chelsey decide to show off to their loved ones!




Congratulations Jonah and Chelsey! It was a pleasure to be part of your sentimental day. We wish you an eternity full of loving moments and great memories.

Held between the lush greenery and striking mountains of East Oahu, this wedding is straight out of a fairytale! The Royal Hawaiian Golf Club was the ideal location for this intimate and rustic affair.

In the photos captured by Karma Hill Photography, you see how the lavish rainforest created a dreamy backdrop. Our lovely couple probably felt like they were uniting in a fantasy!

Currently, Diamond is an OBGYN resident physician and now lives in Michigan. You can find her exploring new cities, going to brunch, and crafting.

Creating a bucket list will open your eyes to a world of new adventures! For Kristin and Erwin, Hawaii has been one of the destinations on their list. It was a given they would have an Oahu vow renewal for their tenth anniversary! Scroll down to see more of this divine occasion.








Ten years of marriage is a huge thing to be celebrating! Your vow renewal should be an experience for everyone and full of magnificent views. Our lovely couple chose the perfect place for their event: the Secret Island at Kualoa Ranch!




When you get transported to this spot, you will feel as if you’re leaving reality and entering a daydream. From rich greenery to foamy ocean waves — there are endless backdrops here! We love how our gorgeous couple took advantage of the different landscapes for their portraits. Every picture, shot by Karma Hill Photography, captured Oahu’s beauty and our delightful couple’s bliss effortlessly.





Kristin and Erwin were both born and raised in the Philippines. Their story began when they met as classmates getting their undergraduate degrees. When the time was right, Erwin planned a remarkable proposal! Kristin traveled from the Philippines to Rochester, Michigan to attend a wedding with him. Before the wedding, with his family around them, Erwin popped the question! We love how Kristin made the journey without having a clue that she’d get engaged!


Ten years later, Erwin works as a Neonatologist while Kristin is a stay-at-home mother. They have a daughter named Den-Den that Kristin home schools. You can find them going on food trips, cooking, and occasionally shopping together in their free time. Kristin and Erwin love to travel together! We are happy that one of their trips included an Oahu vow renewal with us!












Congratulations Kristin and Erwin! Thank you for letting us be part of your celebration. It was great getting to know you. We wish you an eternity of happiness and love!

Irene and Daniel hoped their Oahu Micro wedding would be relaxed, quaint, and elegant. It was all that plus take-your-breath-away gorgeous! With just a few loved ones watching on, the ceremony at The Royal Hawaiian Golf Club had lush tropical backdrops and a couple who are head over heels in love.



We are all about this adorable first look! Daniel’s expression when he sees the love of his life is priceless! Irene looked phenomenal in a princess-cut gown with a plunging neckline all pulled together with a beautiful flower crown. When it was time for the ceremony, Irene’s two sweet children led the way for our couple. Even the exquisite backdrop of the Oahu mountain ranges couldn’t compete with the beauty of this ceremony.

























Our bride shares their story: “We met in passing over a year before we started dating. Daniel was a travel nurse in my unit and we worked opposite shifts; he literally saw me at my worst (night-shift 12 hrs..NOT cute). We never really spoke until a co-worker reintroduced us and we never stopped since. We dated for more than 3 years and he finally proposed in his home state of Alabama. It was perfectly set up at the end of a pier. My parents were a surprise and his family was around as he got down on one knee.” How sweet is that?!

Congratulations, Irene and Daniel! We wish you all the joy in the years to come!

We all looked forward to Samantha & Arron’s Hawaii Destination Wedding for a long time. After postponing from spring 2020, the sweet couple was so patient as they waited for the right time to say “I Do.” The day finally came, and it was an absolute dream! Surrounded by a small group of loved ones, Samantha & Arron wed under swaying palm trees, just steps away from the ocean. Check out some of their photos!



When Samantha & Arron decided to have their wedding in Oahu, they needed the perfect location! We helped them select Paradise Cove Luau in Ko Olina. In the evening, this is home to a vibrant and exciting luau, but during the day we’re able to use the space for wedding ceremonies!
Their ocean-side lawn is close enough to the beach that the newlyweds could get great photos with their toes in the sand while still having the ceremony in a more quiet area. So they got the best of both worlds for their Hawaii Destination Wedding. The tropical green ceremony site was the perfect fit for the lovely and laid-back pair, and we love how their photos turned out!






Samantha & Arron were work friends who fell in love! Arron proposed on Christmas Day, and then it was time to start planning a wedding. Both of them had been to Oahu before and love Hawaii, so a Hawaii destination wedding seemed like the perfect choice!
While we didn’t get to meet Samantha & Arron as soon as we hoped, we had even more to celebrate once the wedding day finally arrived! Their sweet son Kristof is cuter than ever, and he’s going to be a big brother soon! Samantha was a glowing hapai bride, and Arron is such a joyful dad. We can’t wait to see their family grow!





















After the ceremony, it was time to get some portraits with the beautiful couple! Not only is it a chance to get some awesome pictures, but it’s also a chance for the newlyweds to slow down and and get some quiet time together before rejoining their guests.
The Karma Hill Photography team knows how to capture amazing Hawaii Destination Wedding photography! Of course, Samantha & Arron are so photogenic that they were bound to get amazing portraits no matter what. But we especially love how their photos capture their amazing chemistry and the breathtaking scenery all in one!

Congratulations, Samantha & Arron! We loved working with you and hope to see you in Hawaii again soon!

Rhea Mae and Oscar’s Oahu micro wedding was something so wonderful it’s hard to sum it up in words. Set on the tropical venue of the Paradise Cove Luau’s Ocean Lawn, and with an intimate number of guests and endless tropical beauty and love, we were thrilled to help make Rhea Mae and Oscar’s wedding dreams come true.



Rhea Mae and Oscar chose to have an Oahu micro wedding because for them it was like coming home. Rhea Mae was born on the island, and Oscar was looking forward to meeting Rhea’s island family. They kept the ceremony small, but plan to have a larger event when it pans out to be safer in the future. We felt it was the perfect guest count for an intimate and tropical ceremony.













Rhea Mae and Oscar’s engagement story is so sweet, we had to let our bride share it:
“Oscar and I met back in college at Oregon State University four years ago. We both were engineering majors at the university. and were introduced through common friends. After we started hanging out together more, we learned we had common interests and passions, and the rest is history! We got engaged on Christmas Eve 2020, and Oscar asked me on a frozen lake!”



“Given the winter season, we had to hike two miles down to the lake from the parking lot. The weather at the lake and mountain could not have been more beautiful. After a quick lunch at the lake, we were intrigued and walked onto the frozen lake, with the mountain perfectly in the background. As we were walking on the lake, Oscar began to talk about how much they loved me, then went down on one knee, and asked the question! First I said “let me think about it”, and then quickly said, “of course.” How sweet is that?! Keep scrolling for more from this amazing couple!











Congratulations, Rhea Mae and Oscar! Thank you for trusting us with your Big Day! We wish you all the very best in your incredible journey!

We had the best time at Jennifer & James’ Hawaii Micro Wedding! This sweet pair traveled from Missouri for a sweet and laid back ceremony. They were blessed with bright sunshine, a little bit of rain, and calm water – so they got a little bit of everything! Check out their photos below, and join us in congratulating the lovely couple!


Jennifer & James planned their Hawaii micro wedding as part of a family vacation to Oahu. With all the hustle & bustle of a fun vacation, it was extra special to slow down and enjoy a quiet wedding ceremony. Secret Island at Kualoa Ranch offered a peaceful setting to say “I Do.”
The swaying palm trees and pastel water made for a picturesque backdrop, and the soft ukulele music was the perfect touch. It really was like we were in our own little world. It was a tropical dream!
















This cute couple both work for the same pathology group. In their free time they love being outdoors and spending time with James’ two amazing kids.
They first came to Oahu together two years ago for a work conference. This time, their trip was no work and all play, including their fun Hawaii Micro Wedding! None of their guests have been to Oahu before, so it was still a new & exciting experience.
James & Jennifer had a first dance after the ceremony, and then it was time for couples portraits around the property. This outdoorsy couple was excited to get photos with the ocean and mountain backdrops. Keep scrolling to see more of their pictures!






Secret Island is tucked away on a far corner of Kualoa Ranch. To get to the ceremony site, we take a boat across calm waters. Not only is this a great experience, it also makes for beautiful photos. We love how these shots turned out, and our favorite part is the beautiful couple. They are newly married and totally in love!





Congratulations, Jennifer & James! Thank you so much for allowing us to coordinate your Oahu wedding. We loved meeting you, and we wish you all the best!
