We are excited to share Thomas and Devin’s beautiful Oahu venue wedding! So, have you ever witnessed a love story that started in high school and blossomed into something truly extraordinary? Well, Thomas and Devin’s wedding is just that kind of romance!

Thomas and Devin, two Southern California natives, met and fell head over heels in love during their high school days. With Thomas graduating from CAL Berkeley and Devin from UH Manoa, these two lovebirds found their way back to each other despite the distance. Thomas now works in the tech industry, while Devin excels in the world of marketing.

Together, they have weathered the storms of life for over a decade, making their high school sweethearts’ love story nothing short of magical. And now they were ready to tie the knot in paradise!

Feels Like Paradise

Their engagement took place on a beautiful day at Santa Monica Beach, a private moment shared between just the two of them. But it was their visits to Oahu, where Devin attended university, that led them to choose The Royal Hawaiian Golf Club for their Oahu venue wedding. And oh my, what a choice it was! The views are just spectacular! One of the reasons they fell in love with this venue was the stunning views it offered. Just take a look at those photos! The lush golf course, framed by vibrant tropical foliage and majestic banyan trees, created the perfect backdrop for their portraits. It’s no wonder they felt an instant connection to this place!

Everything about their special day was simply spectacular, from the breathtaking views to the enchanting ambiance and intricate details. The joy in Thomas’ eyes as he saw Devin walking down the green aisle in her elegant gown, escorted by her father, was a moment that etched itself into the hearts of all of their loved ones present. Everyone was so happy to be gathered to share in their joy. You could feel the love in the air with every hug, embrace, and kiss…especially between Thomas and Devin!

As the happy newlyweds strolled through the property, capturing tender and beautiful moments, their love radiated through the lush foliage with the birds chirping and cheering for these two! The combination of the romantic setting and the genuine emotions shared between Thomas and Devin made for an unforgettable celebration! They both look so stylish and classic…Devin was a vision in white, and so was Thomas in his sharp white suit! Love the black and white combo.

So, let’s raise our glasses and toast to Thomas and Devin on their Oahu venue wedding! May your journey be filled with endless love, laughter, and cherished memories as you embark on this new chapter of your life together. Congratulations, you two!

Sammy and Drex’s Oahu venue wedding was a truly special day for this incredible couple! They wanted something simple and stress-free, especially since they were planning their wedding from out of state. They opted for a family/close friends wedding which felt like the perfect fit for them! Sammy and Drex loved that they could also have the live stream/recording option, so all of their loved ones could be a part of their special day…

“It was love at first swipe!” Drex told us before their big day. Their love story began with a swipe on a dating app, and much to their surprise, it actually worked! Sammy was in Arizona, and Drex was in the Philippines. But they talked every single day and soon realized they were each other’s biggest supporters. Sammy said even though long-distance relationships can be tough, when they’re with the right person, they’re easy! This happy pair proved that belief to fullest! So let’s re-live their amazing day with us through these beautiful photos below…

A Secret Garden

Their Oahu venue wedding was at Kualoa Secret Island in the Moli’i Gardens, nestled by the fish ponds. It was so serene and beautiful… The tranquil beauty of this little spot felt like a secret garden in a tropical oasis. We loved how Sammy made a grand entrance on the magnificent stairwell, and everyone was so happy to join in their celebrations! Drex couldn’t stop smiling at his beautiful bride!

A Day Full Of Love And Laughter

But what struck us most about these lovebirds was how giggly and full of laughter they were! It was evident that they are the best of friends and truly enjoy each other’s company. We walked around the lush lawns and by the dock, capturing just the two of them to savor the romantic moment. There is something about water and lush greenery that makes you feel like you’re in a secret garden!

Sammy and Drex look so incredibly happy together, and it was an honor to capture these special moments! The joyful laughter, tender moments, embraces, and kisses were just the first of many in their next chapter together…

Sammy looks stunning in her classic gown with the mermaid train. We love how Drex matched her with a white embroidered tunic! They are the picture of newlywed bliss…

Congratulations, Sammy and Drex! We’re so happy for you both and wish you all the best in your journey together as husband and wife. May your love continue to grow and flourish, and may you always find joy and laughter in each other’s arms!

Have you ever heard of high school sweethearts who went the distance and got married? Well, that’s exactly what happened with Josh and Samantha! They met in World History class in high school, and after almost a decade together, they tied the knot at their Oahu venue wedding!

Samantha was in love with the island when she visited with her mom, and she thought, “I’d love to get married here one day!” Since Josh’s family has roots in Oahu, he and Samantha knew it was the perfect place to celebrate their love story. It was the icing on the cake, and a dream come true!

Their big day at Paradise Cove was an intimate and laid-back affair, full of love and happiness. The fresh green and tropical colors of their beach wedding perfectly complemented the island’s natural splendor.

As they exchanged their vows on the sandy beach surrounded by their loved ones, Josh and Samantha looked so natural and at ease. Their love shines through every photograph from their wedding day!

After their sweet Oahu venue wedding ceremony, our happy newlyweds snuck off with our photographer to capture a few inimate moments by the water’s edge. Samantha and Josh are so ready for their future together after almost ten years of dating! (A lot of that was long distance too!) Once Josh is finished his commitment to the Air Force, they are hoping to move back closer to family to start a family! But for now, they embraced the present moment and their newlywed bliss!

Congratulations to Samantha and Josh, and here’s to many more years of love and joy together! We are so happy to have made your dream Hawaii wedding come true!

We always get excited for a Kualoa Ranch Secret Island Wedding! This dreamy spot is far away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and feels incredibly serene. Last week, Jason & Jodie had a stunning wedding at this spot, and we loved every moment of it.

Live music, swaying palm trees, emotional vows, and a touch of humor — everything a relaxed beach wedding in Hawaii should be.

Check out some of their Oahu wedding photography below!

A Place to Start Their Forever

Jason & Jodie are a joyful couple, always ready to share a laugh and find adventure. So marrying in Hawaii seemed like a natural choice. So many details needed to come together: song choices, guest lists, vacation plans, color pallet. But first, they needed to find the perfect place.

After some research, they decided a Kualoa Ranch Secret Island would be perfect for them. This scenic spot became a place where all their other wedding dreams could come true. It was a unique experience for their guests, who could enjoy this hidden gem of a wedding venue. It allowed everyone to sit comfortably for the ceremony without worrying about beachgoers and permitting restrictions.

And the natural beauty of this place allowed Jason & Jodie to create a simple yet meaningful plan that was true to who they are as a couple.

We’re so glad we could help them put this all together. This Kualoa Ranch Secret Island wedding was a vision brought to life. Jason & Jodie’s style, Simple Oahu’s expertise, and the special magic you can only find in Hawaii.

Portraits at a Kualoa Ranch Secret Island Wedding

We love the private, emotional ceremonies at Secret Island in Oahu. The distraction-free setting allows everyone to be fully present. But after the couple shares their first kiss and jaunts back up the aisle, there is still a lot of fun ahead of us.

That’s because we still get to take wedding portraits! This is the couple’s chance to take in the beauty of this incredible place. A Kualoa Ranch Secret Island wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and portrait time is a chance to slow down and be in the moment.

It’s also a really special time for the couple. This was Jason & Jodie’s first few moments as newlyweds, and their romantic energy was incredible. They’re at ease with each other but also totally infatuated. This means their portraits were breezy yet elegant, stylish yet authentic.

And their Oahu wedding venue had so many stunning backdrops, so we were able to capture both the couple and their wedding location.

Congratulations, Jason & Jodie! We loved being a part of your Hawaii wedding and wish you a lifetime of happiness!

When these two lovebirds were planning their wedding, what mattered most was something simple and stress-free. So naturally, Hawaii came to mind thanks to its relaxed, easygoing lifestyle, and Shelby and Jeff just love Oahu! So after stumbling across our company, an Oahu venue wedding felt just right! The couple didn’t want a big fuss; they simply wanted to celebrate their love with their closest family members in a small, intimate setting. Keep scrolling to see more of their beautiful ceremony!

For The Rest Of Our Lives

For a bit of backstory on our lovely couple, Shelby is a therapist for autistic kids, while Jeff works in construction. They don’t have kids yet, but they are looking forward to starting a family in the near future! And what better way to start than with a beautiful wedding ceremony in the heart of Waikiki at the Chapel at Waikiki Lea!

The couple exchanged vows in the chapel under the majestic arches, creating a dramatic backdrop for their wedding photos. It was an intimate and family-orientated celebration, exactly what they had hoped for! The candles and lanterns added a romantic touch to the ceremony…

Afterward, we ventured out to the gardens and the serene waterfall for their romantic newlywed portraits. The peaceful waterfall and lush foliage created a magical setting for our new Mr. & Mrs. Welling! In addition, the architectural details around the property added another layer of romance and privacy to their first moments as husband and wife…

As you can see, we just love this venue because it offers both a private tropical setting and the option of a more traditional chapel ceremony. So it’s no wonder Shelby and Jeff chose it for their Oahu venue wedding – it’s the best of both worlds!

We wish Shelby and Jeff all the best as they embark on this exciting journey together as husband and wife! Congratulations to our happy newlyweds – may your love continue to grow stronger every day!

Jessica & Andrew’s Oahu Destination Wedding embodied everything we love about small ceremonies. They were relaxed and happy, and we loved getting to know their entire group. With the stunning Ko’olau mountains behind them and a lifetime of love ahead of them, these two sweethearts shared unforgettable vows.

We are so grateful we got to be a part of this gorgeous Destination Wedding in Oahu! Keep scrolling to see some of our favorite moments.

Visions of Hawaii

Jessica & Andrew traveled from Vancouver, Canada, for their Oahu Destination Wedding. Covid had put any vacation plans on hold, and they were waiting to visit Hawaii as soon as possible. Once they got engaged last October, they knew that combining a much-needed vacation and a small wedding would be perfect for them.

They booked our Royal Hawaiian Golf Club Package, which includes everything needed for a small and scenic wedding. We loved working with Jessica & Andrew, from the moment they reached out until we sent them off as newlyweds.

Now our excitement grows as we share some of their stunning Oahu wedding photography!

A Dreamy Wedding Day

We love how Jessica & Andrew were so sweet and in love. They’ve been together for over eight years but still seem like fresh love birds. We know they’ll be able to carry that joy and discovery into their marriage, which will lead to a lifetime of happiness!

Jessica & Andrew decided to say their own vows to each other as part of the ceremony, and it had us all in tears. Thanks to the small group and personalized touches, we really got to know this couple and feel like we were a special part of their day. We can’t stop gushing over how much we love this incredible Oahu Destination wedding.

They had a stunning ceremony and amazing photography, but there was one thing missing: their snuggly fur baby Theodore. He was definitely happy when Jessica & Andrew got home, even if they could have stayed in Hawaii for a few more days!

Enjoying their Oahu Destination Wedding Venue

Any of our weddings at Royal Hawaiian Golf Club include the opportunity to capture photos around the gorgeous property. They have a lush jungle setting, an unbelievable mountain backdrop, and a vast stretch of grass with stunning lighting.

Karma Hill Photography captured all these stunning images, which will surely be framed all over Jessica & Andrew’s house soon!

Congratulations, Jessica & Andrew. We’re so glad we got to be a part of your wedding and can’t wait to welcome you to Hawaii again. Aloha and A Hui Hou!

Lindsay & Matthew’s wedding in Oahu was so beautiful, and their love story warms our hearts. Rev. Kimo officiated a faith-based ceremony for the sweet couple, who were joined by a small group of family. When they started planning their wedding, they dreamed of a relaxing event in a beautiful setting. We are so glad we could help make that happen for them!

And now it’s time to reveal some of their gorgeous photos! We’re so excited to relive Lindsay & Matthew’s special day!

“I Do” Again

Lindsay & Matthew had a wedding in Oahu 13 years ago. Since then, they have had two adorable children who are their pride and joy. But they also experienced challenges that led them down different paths. Some things are simply meant to be, though. And so, as they grew up, they also grew to find themselves in love again.

Now they returned to Hawaii to marry again, this time with a better understanding of themselves and each other. We’ve seen a lot of great couples, and we can tell when a love is extra special. Lindsay & Matthew have an extra special bond that is made to weather the storms and bring joy to the entire family.

We’re so glad we witnessed this ceremony and this incredible relationship.

Sacred Vows at Secret Island

Secret Island is one of our favorite Oahu wedding venues. It’s a private sandy beach at Kualoa Ranch. It features calm water, tall palm trees, and scenic mountain views. This location is so secluded that you must take a special ferry to the ceremony site. What a magical way to bookend your wedding in Oahu!

After their ceremony, Lindsay & Matthew took some portraits around the venue. There are so many great photo ops at Secret Island that we could have stayed for hours. But before long, it was time to send the newlyweds off to celebrate. So we got some final shots of them at the ferry landing and bid them a warm aloha!

Congratulations, Lindsay & Matthew. We are so grateful for this chance to be a part of your Magical Oahu Venue Wedding!

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!
