Few things are more adventurous and heartfelt than when a couple in love decides to elope in Oahu. And that’s exactly how Adriana and Frank chose to tie the knot! With their brilliant daughters in attendance and the cool, ocean breeze on their backs, this was a ceremony blessed with love and beauty. 

Why Elope in Oahu?

Adriana and Frank felt eloping in Oahu was the perfect way to have a wedding that was “boho, relaxed, carefree, fun, elegant, and classic.” With no bells and whistles to take care of, Adriana and Frank were able to be in the moment with their love, their union, and their children. 

The ceremony was simply beautiful. Adriana positively glowed in a boho gown with her hair down and blowing in the tropical breeze. It was so clear that our couple was deeply in love. After being together for ten years, Adriana and Frank have built a relationship rooted in honor and commitment, so taking that next step into marriage came naturally in their journey. 

The sweet moment when Adriana and Frank gave both their daughter’s leis signified their union not just as a couple, but as a family.

Who needs rice when you have rose petals? And who needs church bells when you have the roar of the ocean? Adriana and Frank’s wedding day was an island dream! Almost as beautiful as their sweet family!

Our Couple’s Story

Adriana and Frank met through a mutual friend and clicked instantly. One day, Frank surprised Adriana by saying he had a present for her. But it wasn’t just any old present! When she got home, he gave her a little bag with a box inside it. And in that box was the ring that started it all!

Adriana says she was not expecting it! And now here they are, taking those steps to elope in Oahu and begin their lives as a married couple. Keep browsing for more beautiful photos of Adriana and Frank, their daughters, and their special day! 

Mahalo nui loa, Adriana and Frank, for choosing us to help you elope in Oahu. It was a joyous day, and we were honored to be a part of it. Wishing you all the love and magic in the future ahead!

Waimanalo Bay Beach is always beautiful, but it’s especially so when a couple as sweet and in love as Zi and Eric are on the shore. The evening was breezy and shaded for their Oahu Beach Elopement, which created a comfortable atmosphere and soft lighting. Eric has had the joy of visiting the island regularly for the last thirty years, and now he has the immense pleasure to share that joy with the love of his life. 

The Oahu Beach Elopement 

Kahu Kawena opened the ceremony with welcoming and heartfelt words. The love shared between our couple was so clear. Zi and Eric tightly held hands throughout the ceremony and deeply gazed into each other’s eyes. When asked, Eric had said he hoped their Oahu Beach Elopement would be loving, happy, relaxed, and beautiful. We can officially say it checked all the boxes!

There was no limit to the happiness on the shore that day, and our beautiful couple was able to simply relax and be in the moment. What more could anyone hope for on their wedding day? We’re so thrilled to help make their dreams come true. 

Our Couple’s Story

Zi and Eric met on the web and chatted for a little while to get to know each other. They knew their typing skills had chemistry, but a few weeks later they felt it was time to test out their person-to-person chemistry. They’d planned for a three-mile hike… but then plans changed! That three-mile hike turned into a twelve-hour date with lunch AND dinner!

From that moment on, they were practically inseparable, and their love has only grown deeper and sweeter since. Just look at these incredible shots from Karma Hill Photography. The love between these two is almost tangible. 

Our couple had first planned to get engaged in Oahu, but when they thought about it, they realized they wanted to get engaged sooner and elope in Oahu instead. So while they were close to home, Eric took Zi to her favorite beach in Half Moon Bay. “Once there, we poured our hearts out to each other,” Eric said. “Then I got down on my knee and proposed, and she made me the happiest man by immediately answering ‘Yes!’” And we can’t wait for Zi and Eric to have even more adventures as husband and wife! 

Congratulations Zi and Eric! We wish you all the very best in the decades ahead!

There was so much love and happiness at Sarah and Michael’s Oahu beach wedding, it felt like it was carried through the wind. Waimanalo set the stage with vibrant aqua waters and the purest white sands. With their children in attendance and a private musician serenading, this was a ceremony flooded with sweetness. 

The Oahu Beach Wedding

With a tropical breeze in the air, a handsome groom, and two awesome kids awaiting her entrance, Sarah was practically a goddess in white. Wearing a simple yet elegant gown with a bold front slit perfect for the sandy venue, Sarah expertly pulled off beachy sophistication.

We loved how the whole crew’s style pulled together, with the guys in classic suits and the ladies in flowing fabrics. Speaking of the whole crew being pulled together, how adorable are these matching smiles! Keep scrolling for all the sweet moments!

Our Couple’s Story

Sarah works in advertising, and Mike work’s in the print industry. It goes without saying, but these two love being creative! They also love being outdoors and enjoy hiking, camping, road trips, and finding new favorite food spots. 

Our bride tells their story: “I met Mike at my previous job at this Print Shop in Tempe, Arizona. He was in production and I was in sales, so it was a perfect yin and yang. Also, he fell in love with me the moment I walked in, ha! We were engaged last summer, just outside my hometown of Yuma. We took a jeep ride out with the kids to the middle of the desert in a spot called the Valley of Names to check out the Neowise comet. The valley of names is a spot where people go out and write their names in the light sand with these burnt, black rocks. A few years prior, Mike and I  had written our names out there, next to my family one done a couple of decades earlier. Once we found the spot Mike proposed!”

How sweet is that?! How sweet are these photos?! How sweet is this couple?!

Congratulations, Sarah and Michael! It was truly a joy working with you and your wonderful children. We wish you all the happiness and love in the years ahead!
