The time was right for our beautiful couple! We recently had the pleasure of planning Samantha and Dinos’ Oahu venue wedding! These two have been dating for nearly ten years, can you believe it?! They originally met at Ohio State University and have been inseparable since! They couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day so let’s see some of our favorite highlights from their incredible day…

Initially, our beautiful couple was playing with the idea of eloping in Maui, but they came across our company, Simple Oahu Wedding, and loved the idea of a small, intimate wedding ceremony with their friends and family! It was all they could have asked for! Our down-to-earth pair wanted something simple, relaxed, fun, and, most importantly, full of love! Their friends and family were more than happy to travel the distance to celebrate with them, as you’ll see below!

Our newlyweds couldn’t stop smiling! Their beautiful Oahu venue wedding was held at Kualoa Ranch Secret Island, where the photo opportunities are endless! It felt like a dream for our newlyweds with the cinematic backdrop and the private beach. Its serene and picturesque scenery made for the most tropically elegant photos of our darling pair! They had the entire beach to themselves…so romantic!

Samantha looked exquisite in her beachy, flowy gown! It was subtle yet elegant and perfect for the ambiance of their Oahu venue wedding! Dinos’ sharp blue suit reflected the ocean blue, too… laid-back tropical elegance done right!

The dramatic cliffs were the most stunning background for their intimate first portraits as husband and wife! Just another reason why we love this location for a venue wedding! Their photos are so soft and pastel-like, which adds to the dreaminess of their incredible day, don’t you think?

Congratulations to Samantha and Dinos on your wedding! It was a pleasure to plan this incredible day for you both! May you have many more beautiful years together!

There was so much emotion and beauty during Lani & Alex’s Beach Wedding in Oahu. The stunning couple traveled from Washington to marry on our glowing shoreline. For them, this destination wedding also felt like a homecoming.

Lani’s parents live on Oahu, and this island girl was radiant at their wedding. Surrounded by the warm Hawaii sun and a small group of loved ones, Lani & Alex committed their lives to each other.

We were all in tears! From the bride’s grand entrance to their big pronouncement, each moment was unbelievably sweet.

Karma Hill Photography captured so many moments from Lani & Alex’s Beach Wedding in Oahu, and we’re excited to share some of our favorite images here!

By Calm Waters

Ellsworth Simeona officiated Lani & Alex’s beach wedding in Oahu. He led the pair in traditional vows and Hawaiian customs, like a lei exchange and chant.

The ceremony was full of personality and warmth. Lani & Alex are grounded and authentic, but also elegant and modern. They brought that balance both to the tone of their ceremony and in their visual styling.

Lani wore a tropical haku flower crown with a simple and timeless wedding dress. Alex’s tan suit was perfect for a beach wedding in Oahu. These two would have looked amazing anywhere, but their fantastic style really worked on these scenic shores.

With a tall palm tree swaying gently overhead, and calm waters behind them, Lani & Alex had a wedding ceremony that was as dreamy as it was down-to-earth. We love it!

From a Beach Wedding in Oahu to a Beautiful Forever

After their ceremony, Lani & Alex enjoyed some newlywed portraits with Karma Hill Photography. These two were born to be in front of the camera! Part of it is their natural good looks, and part of it is their curated attire. But it’s also their amazing chemistry.

Lani & Alex each bring their great personalities to their relationship, and they go so well together. You can tell this is a couple who brings out the best in each other. We love to see it!

Spending this late afternoon with Lani & Alex was such a joy, and we’re grateful we could be a part of their Beach wedding in Oahu!

Now with the big day behind them and the rest of their lives ahead of them, they’re ready to go change the world! We know they’ll do amazing things as a married couple, and we’re honored to see this beautiful beginning!

Congratulations, Lani & Alex! Your Oahu wedding was so fun and gorgeous, and so are you!

On sandy shores, as waves slowly rolled in and the sun quietly set, Rosina & Richard pledged to spend the rest of their life together. It was a gorgeous Oahu Elopement — the couple is beautiful inside and out, and the scenery was breathtaking. But it was their love that made the day truly unforgettable.

Now their wedding is a core memory and a symbol of their commitment. And we’re so excited to share these photos so they can relive the day again and again!

About The Couple

Rosina & Richard met early during the Covid pandemic. They are both traveling nurses who found themselves working at the same location. At first they could only see each other’s eyes, since they stayed masked up at work. But there was a connection there, and when Rosina struck up conversation, a romance quickly blossomed.

Since then, they’ve traveled together to their different nursing assignments around the country. They’re a sweet and loving couple who simply wants a life together. And their Oahu Elopement was a chance to affirm their love and step into a new journey together.

A Meaningful Date for an Oahu Elopement

Richard & Rosina are proud parents to four dogs, so their house is nonstop tail wagging and constant treats. Sadly, they had to say goodbye to their little Chihuahua Lilly last summer on June 30, a tragedy that struck Rosina & Richard with grief but also brought them closer together.

To honor Lilly and the way she blessed their life, they chose June 30 as their wedding date. Now she lives on in this incredible memory, and they get to bring some joy to a date once marked by loss.

We could feel Lilly’s presence at this Oahu Elopement, along with the spirit of all Rosina & Richard’s loved ones. Keep scrolling to see how dreamy their special day was!

Congratulations, Rosina & Richard! We wish you nothing but the best and hope your travels bring you back to Hawaii soon!
