A Sunset Celebration – Raquel & Alex’s Oahu Wedding

Last Updated on May 1, 2024 by Karma Hill

It could not have been a more perfect evening for an Oahu Wedding. Raquel and Alex traveled to Oahu from California for their beach wedding and we are so happy that they got the most amazing weather and beautiful light for photography.

It’s pretty obvious that these two are very loved. They had 21 people travel to be there and witness their wedding ceremony. With good friends standing nearby they said “I do” with the sound of the waves crashing in the background.

After the ceremony, they had so much fun posing with their crew then enjoying the view together as husband and wife. They had plans to head to the Marriott at nearby Ko’olina and keep the celebration going!

The Location

Yokohama bay is the most remote Oahu Beach Wedding Location we offer, but we feel like it’s also the most beautiful and dramatic. Its location on the west side of the island means lovely consistent weather and gorgeous sunsets. The fact that it is also surrounded by towering green mountains is just icing on the (wedding) cake!

Many of our couples and their guests choose to stay in the resort area of Ko’olina which is about 15 miles away rather than the much further and more popular resort area of Waikiki. We think this is a smart option, at least for the day of your wedding as traffic can be a challenge to this location and the pace of Ko’olina is much more relaxed and a perfect place to start a romantic honeymoon. Which is exactly what Raquel and Matt planned to do starting the next day!

Thank you, Raquel and Alex, for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding to be a part of your awesome celebration!
