The natural beauty of the Hawaiian mountains in the distance provided the perfect backdrop for Courtney and Jared’s Oahu elopement! We were delighted to see these two love birds tie the knot amidst the dramatic lush scenery that can only be called paradise in our books! It was so hard for Jared not to take a peek at his lovely bride, Courtney, but it was worth the wait! His smile says it all…

Courtney and Jared met six years ago through mutual friends while line dancing! They quickly hit it off and went on a rock-climbing adventure for their first date. From then on, they were inseparable! He proposed hiking in Brown County State Park last fall during peak foliage season. However, their verdant grassy field at Kulaloa Beach Park was another kind of beautiful for their inimate Oahu elopement! The golden sun slowly set behind the mountains as they exchanged their vows…

Vows With A View

Their Oahu elopement was a beautiful and intimate celebration for just the two of them. The Jurassic-like mountains and fields created a dramatic and alluring backdrop for their wedding photographs, capturing the essence of their love and happiness in paradise! We love how they both look relaxed but still elegant and classic at the same time…

After the ceremony, they took portraits by the water, which felt just as magical. The picturesque views of the location provided the perfect romantic atmosphere for this happy couple to enjoy their special day!

Your love for each other shines through in every photo, and we wish you all the joy and happiness in the world as you start your new journey together as newlyweds! Congratulations, Courtney and Jared! And keep up the line dancing! 😉

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!

Is there anything sweeter than an Oahu elopement? With endless beauty surrounding them, Kathleen & Jason vowed to spend the rest of their lives together. The day was dedicated to their love for each other — there were no distractions or stress—just one memorable moment after another.

Check out some of their photos below, and get ready to be inspired by this Hawaii beach wedding!

Our Love Excels

Jason manages a team of wellness practitioners, and Kathleen is an attentive administrator who loves working in Excel. In fact, their Oahu elopement was planned on an excel spreadsheet. As Oahu wedding coordinators, we get it! Organization allows us to better enjoy our adventures.

Separately they are two adventurous souls who love their jobs and hobbies. Together they run a virtual Stardew Valley Farm and are parents to a (real-life) Shiba Inu named Toki. These Brooklyn 99 are always channeling their Jake & Amy dynamic and look for any chance to share a laugh.

So when it was time to plan their wedding, they knew they wanted something a little off-beat and totally gorgeous. Opting out of a traditional hometown wedding full of obligations and distractions, they instead decided to elope in Oahu.

We’re sure glad they did! We loved getting to know this adorable duo and being a part of their Hawaii beach wedding!

This is Paradise

Kathleen & Jason wed on the shores of Paradise Cove Beach in Ko Olina. This is such a peaceful spot. The calm waters of the lagoon reflected the setting sun beautifully. But it was the couple that really shined at this Oahu elopement.

These two had us laughing all evening. What you’re seeing is a romantic seaside dip kiss. What we saw was an adorable couple giggling their way through a difficult pose. They ended up nailing the shot. They mastered all their Oahu wedding photography, actually!

From a playful twirl to a serene embrace, Kathleen & Jason were down for anything. Take a look at their sunset Oahu portraits!

Congratulations, Kathleen & Jason! Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your Hawaii wedding day!

Last weekend, shortly after the sun came up, we met Brittney & Brent for a fun and fabulous Oahu Beach Wedding. They were surrounded by their nearest and dearest, along with three special guests of honor: their sons.

It was an absolute joy to help make their Oahu wedding dreams a reality, and we’re excited to share these images with them!

About This Couple

Brittney & Brent live in Palm Springs, California. Brittney is an ultrasound tech who is passionate about patient care. Brent owns a construction company and helps families with their residential remodels. Separately, they’re two career-driven people who pride themselves in their work. Together, they’re a romantic couple who values family and makes their children their top priority.

They’re an active family who loves all kinds of sports. Their sons are 8, 5, and 1, so they are always on the go. Luckily Brittney & Brent have lively spirits and lots of enthusiasm, so they can keep up with their little guys.

Take a look at how they included their sons in their Oahu Beach Wedding and their portraits afterward!

A Dream Oahu Beach Wedding

Brent has Hawaii ties. He was once the quarterback for the University of Hawaii football team, so the islands have long had a special place in his heart.

In 2015 he took Brittney to Oahu and got to show her around some of his favorite places on the island.

After a Christmas Eve proposal, it was time to plan their nuptials. As they considered the many options, they ultimately decided an Oahu Beach Wedding was perfect for them.

Brittney & Brent dreamed that their Hawaii Wedding would be formal yet relaxed, filled with laughter and good energy. From the moment we started planning with them, we knew they would get all that and more.

The sweet couple is absolutely radiant, and their love makes them even more beautiful! We loved spending this splendid morning with these two!

Congratulations, Brittney & Brent! Thank you for sharing this special day with us, and we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

When you celebrate your love, the ceremony should be just as unforgettable as your wedding! Carla and Jamie’s Oahu vow renewal took place at a breathtaking location. Then the sunset decorated the sky and created a dreamy scene! Above all, our delightful duo looked impeccable at their intimate occasion. Keep scrolling to experience this event for yourself.

Kualoa Beach Park is full of stunning landscapes! We adore this destination because you get the best of both worlds. On one side, you can see the lush greenery and dramatic mountains. Then on the other, the sandy seaside and sapphire waves create a tropical background. We set up for Carla and Jamie’s ceremony on a grass part of Kualoa. It was the perfect backdrop because you could see the lofty palm trees and sweeping ocean views! Then the silky clouds and soft sun enhanced the enchanting ambiance. It was the perfect time and place for our charming pair to celebrate their love!

Why We Love Their Oahu Vow Renewal

We adore how our exquisite pair looked at this sunset ceremony! Carla’s dress is simply elegant — it pairs beautifully with her Boho dream bouquet from Sweet Blossoms Hawaii. Then Jamie’s white shirt and khaki pants are a classic and sophisticated look. We love how the neutral tones in his attire contrast with the deep greens in his maile lei. However, our favorite thing about this renewal was seeing Carla and Jamie’s daughter be their only guest! We loved how their kiddo was part of this intimate celebration.

These portraits captured by Karma Hill Photography are some of our favorite ones! You can see how the epic mountains and heavy clouds are a striking scene. Then Carla, Jamie, and their daughter have blissful smiles and a radiant glow! You can tell they’re savoring these moments during their Oahu vow renewal as a family.

Congratulations, Carla and Jamie! Thank you for sharing this special occasion with us. We wish you an eternity of love, happiness, and success!

Our adventurous pair was looking forward to traveling around and seeing the different parts of the island! In addition, we know their time on Oahu was unforgettable because they got married. If anything, their wedding must’ve been the highlight of their trip!

Why They Had An Oahu Venue Wedding

Shauna and Jack’s original plan was to honeymoon in Hawaii. However, Jack brought up the idea of tying the knot on the island. Our stunning pair talked about it and began researching until they came across the perfect venue; the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club! Then they paired with our team at Simple Oahu Wedding because they wanted an easy and stress-free planning process. Above all, Shauna and Jack’s special day was simple, sweet, and fun — perfect for them! We’re glad we could be part of making their dream wedding a reality.

Our Couple’s Story

Our passionate pair’s story began when they met in middle school! Then, during their sophomore year of high school, Shauna and Jack started dating. Our blissful newlyweds have been together for almost a decade; they’re high school sweethearts and best friends! Currently, Shauna and Jack both work in IT. They have the sweetest one-year-old son — who they love spending their days outside with!

Congratulations, Shauna and Jack! Thank you for sharing your special day with us. We wish you a future full of new travels, long walks, and scenic car rides!
