Some love stories begin with a swipe and end with a sunset—and Olivia and Joshua’s Oahu venue wedding was every bit the fairytale they dreamed of (but with more sand and way better lighting).

They met on Hinge—Josh, a delivery driver with Nicholas & Co., dipping his toes into the dating app world for the first time. Olivia, a tech auditor at Goldman Sachs, had just decided to give love one final shot. Spoiler: it worked. And thank goodness it did, because these two were meant to swipe right into each other’s lives.

A Christmas Proposal and a Hawaiian “I Do”

On December 17th, Joshua proposed in front of a glowing Christmas tree, knowing exactly how much Olivia adored twinkling lights and festive magic. (We’re not crying, you’re crying.)

Fast forward to their Oahu venue wedding day at Paradise Cove Luau—aka, the most magical setting ever for a celebration of love, family, and destiny. Surrounded by their closest loved ones and their two adorable sons (ages 6 and 2, and absolute stars in their own right), Olivia and Joshua celebrated the start of forever.

The vibe? Intimate. Joyful. Utterly unforgettable.

They chose a destination wedding not just for the breathtaking views (although hello, Paradise Cove!) but to immerse themselves and their guests in a cultural experience that would make this chapter of their story truly special. And it so was.

Congratulations, Olivia & Joshua!

From a first swipe to a Christmas proposal and now a sun-kissed wedding in Oahu—your love story is beautiful, unique, and full of heart. Thank you for letting us capture it. Here’s to forever with sandy toes, starry eyes, and all the love in the world!

Miranda and Arthur’s love story? Oh, it’s the kind that feels like it was always meant to be. From an online connection to six months of long distance, to finally moving in together and realizing—yep, this is it. This is forever. And now, here they were, standing in the breathtaking Ko’olina Crystal Chapel, about to make it official in the most intimate, meaningful way possible at their Oahu venue wedding!

This wasn’t just any venue. It was a place woven into their history—where Miranda’s grandparents once said “I do,” where Arthur’s grandmother was born. A place that held generations of love before them and now, would hold theirs too!

And let’s talk about that chapel. The light. The light. Pouring in through the bright windows, wrapping everything in a soft, dreamy glow, making the moment feel almost otherworldly. Airy, beautiful, filled with quiet magic. But the real showstopper? Arthur’s face when he saw Miranda. Because there are reactions, and then there’s that—the kind of look that says everything without a single word.

The ceremony was sweet, intimate, and filled with so much love, surrounded by their closest family and friends. Every vow, every glance, every quiet smile held the weight of a story that had led them to this very moment!

And then—the beach. Just the two of them, hand in hand, with the ocean stretching endlessly behind them. The waves, the breeze, the golden sky—it was the perfect backdrop, the only décor they could have ever needed. And their bridal party? Delightful. Every detail? Perfect.

Miranda and Arthur, your Oahu venue wedding was pure magic. A love story written in history, sealed in sunlight, and surrounded by the people who matter most. Congratulations! Here’s to forever!

Loving their tropical wedding? You’ll love this one!

Have you ever wondered what pure love looks like after two decades? Vanessa and Davince’s Oahu venue wedding at Paradise Cove was the perfect showcase of enduring affection! Meeting in their teens—Vanessa was just 16 and Davince 19—their journey together has been a testament to love’s strength and patience. Engaged in 2019, their plans to wed were paused by the whirlwind of COVID-19 and the joyful arrival of their baby in 2020. But as they hit their 20-year milestone, 2023 felt like the perfect time to finally say “I do.”

Their choice of Oahu for the wedding was no accident. After an October 2022 family trip was derailed by illness, Vanessa and Davince returned in March 2023 for a do-over. Falling in love with the island’s charm, they decided this was where they wanted to celebrate their special day. By October 2023, with Paradise Cove as their perfect backdrop, everything was set for their dream destination wedding. Curious to see how it unfolded? Keep reading!

So stunning against the soft golden sand! These two are such a gorgeous couple…

Congratulations to Vanessa and Davince on their incredible journey and the beginning of their marital adventure! Their story is a beautiful reminder that true love waits, and when it arrives, it shines brighter than ever. Mahalo for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding!

Edilyne and Fred’s Oahu elopement was a day straight out of a daydream filled with love, laughter, and the picturesque beauty of Kualoa Beach. Fred, our tech-savvy groom, is known for his ability to fix any technical hiccups that come his way.

Edilyne, a spirited registered nurse from New York, is a globetrotter at heart, always ready for her next adventure—now with Fred by her side!

Their love story began two decades ago in high school, blossomed into a romance during college, and weathered a decade-long hiatus before fate brought them back together. Their engagement in Bali was the turning point, and Edilyne’s visit to Oahu in 2019 cemented the island as her dream wedding destination. For Fred, it was a first-time visit, but the magic of the island quickly worked its charm! Keep reading more for their beautiful day!

Snow and Jimmy’s Oahu venue wedding was a vibrant celebration of love, laughter, and a shared zest for life. Jimmy, a technical consultant in the realm of data privacy, spends his downtime diving into gaming, exciting culinary adventures, and indulging in great shows. Snow, on the other hand, brings her creative flair to the marketing side of a software testing company and finds joy in the simple pleasures: reading, watching YouTube, and dreaming of future homes, all while enjoying Jimmy’s delightful company.

Their love story began 11 years ago during their first month of college, sparked by a playful “accidental” kick from Jimmy. While it took Snow a little time to warm up to him, once she did, they became inseparable. Fast forward to a magical proposal where Snow took the lead, popping the question during a “wine & whale” night at the Georgia Aquarium—a moment that was as memorable as it was heartfelt! Keep reading to see more of their lovely day…

Natalee and Dylan’s Oahu venue wedding at the beautiful Ko’olina Chapel was nothing short of a dream come true! For Natalee, who had always envisioned a tropical wedding, this luminous venue provided the perfect setting for their big day. Surrounded by the love of their family and friends, they said their “I do’s” in a breathtaking chapel filled with light and beauty.

The day was pure magic! Natalee looked stunning in her elegant lace dress, and Dylan was as handsome as ever in his classic blue suit. Together, they radiated happiness as the soft sunlight filtered through the chapel’s windows, adding an extra layer of warmth and love to the already perfect day.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds made their way down to the beach for some romantic portraits by the ocean. We love Ko’olina Chapel because it offers the best of both worlds—an elegant indoor venue filled with light and a serene beach setting just steps away. The contrast between the luminous chapel and the calm beach was the perfect mix of sophistication and romance, and Natalee and Dylan were absolutely glowing!

From start to finish, it was a beautiful, love-filled day, and you could tell they had the best time.
