Whenever you visit a new place, your trip should be full of meaningful moments. This special occasion was Diamond and Morgan’s first time in Hawaii, and they made it remarkable by having an Oahu venue wedding! Scroll down to see this stunning event for yourself!

The Oahu Venue Wedding

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! Most importantly, we love how nature’s fresh palette beautifully complements the burnt orange fabric and delicate flowers draped on the arch!

Lighthearted pictures, like this one, always look breathtaking in a frame. Above all, we love seeing our radiant newlyweds having fun in their photoshoot!

Our Couple’s Story

Diamond and Morgan’s story began when they met at a high school in Chicago! After being together for almost ten years, Morgan popped the question last year. He felt the moment was perfect at Diamond’s graduation party in front of all of their family and friends! Our gorgeous couple decided to have an Oahu venue wedding because it was somewhere they’ve both wanted to visit. 

Currently, Diamond is an OBGYN resident physician and now lives in Michigan. You can find her exploring new cities, going to brunch, and crafting. While Morgan is the Head Football Coach and teaching assistant at a high school. He enjoys anything involving sports, exercising, and youth mentoring.

Congratulations Diamond and Morgan! It was great to plan your destination wedding. We wish you a future full of love and happiness.

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?!

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!

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!

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. 

The Oahu Micro Wedding

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. 

Our Couple’s Story

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!

A Peaceful Ceremony

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!

Back to Oahu for a Hawaii Micro Wedding

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!

On Calm Waters

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!

Enilda & Izhar had a beautiful Oahu Wedding last Thursday! The stunning couple opted for a morning ceremony, so they got to start their day by becoming husband and wife. Green mountains surrounded them, and a small group of loved ones joined them. It was absolutely perfect!

Check out some of their photos that Karma Hill Photography captured!

Hawaiian Traditions

Enilda & Izhar traveled from California for their Hawaii Mountain wedding. Reverend Kimo Taylor led them in a sweet ceremony that also included a few Hawaiian traditions, like a lei exchange and a conch shell blow.

Our favorite part of the ceremony was how sweet the couple was! They were a little nervous and very excited. And most importantly, they are very in love! They would have had an amazing ceremony anywhere, but we think a stunning Oahu wedding was the perfect fit for them!

Recording the Ceremony

Only a small group of loved ones joined Enilda & Izhar for their Oahu Wedding. This made it possible for them to plan their ceremony in these uncertain times. They had many more friends and family cheering them on from home, so they booked a videographer to record their ceremony. This way they can share their full wedding with all their loved ones, and they can look back on it for years to come!

Oahu Wedding Portraits on the Beach

After they said “I Do,” it was time for Enilda & Izhar to get some portraits together! The Royal Hawaii Golf Course offered so many beautiful spots for pictures, we could have stayed there all day. Luckily for us, we got to enjoy two beautiful locations for this Oahu Wedding – the ceremony venue AND Waimanalo Beach.

Enilda & Izhar added on enough photography time to travel to the beach for portraits with their toes in the sand. It was totally worth it! The glistening blue water and the white sand was absolutely beautiful. Now they have a full collection of photos and wonderful Oahu memories – from the mountain to the sea!

Congratulations, Enilda & Izhar! We are so excited for you and wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Elysia and Trevor’s Oahu venue wedding on the sandy lawn of Paradise Cove Luau was filled with light, love, and that special excitement that comes with destiny in the making. Friends and family watched on as our beautiful couple made a commitment based on love and honor while the mellow Hawaiian ocean lapped in the backdrop. It was a heavenly day. 

The Oahu Venue Wedding

Elysia entered with her arms linked with her father and step-father. Looking radiant, Elysia wore a simple yet elegant lace gown, as her hair fell in perfect waves down her shoulders. The ceremony was joyous as our couple exchanged vows and Hawaiian leis to solidify their union together. 

Following the “I do’s,” it was time to celebrate! The team at Karma Hill Photography made great use of the location, finding gorgeous spots of greenery and tropical beach backdrops. One of the many perks of having an Oahu venue wedding is the sheer variety of scenic elements. Elysia and Trevor seemed right at home. It was obvious that these two found their home in the arms of the other. It was a joy to help bring their wedding dreams into reality. Keep scrolling for all the beautiful moments!

Mahalo, Elysia and Trevor, for trusting us to coordinate your Oahu venue wedding. We had a wonderful time getting to know you and helping you live your dream. We wish you all the joy and happiness in the decades ahead.
