Claire and AJ wanted an excuse to get out of California and explore a new destination. They also wanted their loved ones to have a fun, memorable experience as well. When they began planning their special day, they realized a wedding in Oahu would be perfect for them! Keep scrolling to see more of this stunning occasion!

Kualoa Secret Island created a breathtaking stage for the event. When you’re on the boat heading to this private spot, you’ll feel as if you’re entering a fairytale land! The staggering mountains, cerulean water, and ivory sand decorate the background beautifully. We like how the sunset’s rays make the silky clouds glow dreamily! Above all, this location had enough space for all eighteen guests.

The Enchanting Wedding in Oahu

The first people to arrive on the island were AJ and the eighteen guests. When the ceremony began, our gorgeous bride gracefully walked down the aisle with her father by her side! Claire looked regal in her timeless wedding gown, while AJ looked sophisticated in his navy suit! We love how our groom tied in one of the wedding colors with the blush tie. 

We adore the burgundy, blush, and white color scheme our delightful couple chose! In our bride’s custom bouquet by Sweet Blossom Hawaii, you can see how every hue blends exquisitely! 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!

Elizabeth and Christopher wanted to be surrounded by their closest family and friends when they tied the knot. Their Oahu destination wedding allowed them to bring all of their loved ones together. Our lovely couple and their guests were all able to enjoy this remarkable occasion! Keep scrolling to experience this stunning ceremony! 

The first one to arrive at the venue was Christopher and their guests. After that, Elizabeth took the second boat to the secret island! When the time was right, our bride walked down the shore with her father by her side. Elizabeth looks gorgeous! We love how airy her boho-chic gown is and how elegant her hair is! The deep blue tones of Christopher’s suit pair beautifully with our delightful bride’s pastel Rustic Hawaiian bouquet.

The Oahu Destination Wedding

Elizabeth and Christopher had their ceremony at Kualoa Ranch Secret Island. When you get transported to this spot, you’ll feel as if you’ve entered a fairytale! With the epic mountains, deep greenery, and the teal ocean — you’ll always see a new breathtaking view! Most importantly, we love how private this location is. It was perfect for our charming couple’s intimate ceremony!

Our Couple’s Story

Our beautiful couple’s story began when they met in high school; Elizabeth was a freshman while Christopher was a sophomore. Although they grew up in bordering small towns, they went to the same high school. On November 22, 2010, they began dating; and have been inseparable ever since!

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!

Congratulations, Elizabeth and Christopher! Thank you for letting us be part of such a special occasion. Wishing you a future full of fresh adventures, heartwarming moments, and loving memories!

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.

The Oahu Vow Renewal

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.

Our Couple’s Story

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. 

The Oahu Micro Wedding

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 Couple’s Story

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?!

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!

Paradise Cove Luau: A Hawaii Destination Wedding Venue

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!

A Growing Family

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!

Picture-Perfect Memories

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!
