Our sweet couple, Julia and Brandon, wanted a lush tropical ambiance for their Oahu venue wedding! Surrounded by the island’s raw beauty, their intimate affair was a joyful day as their friends and family joined them to celebrate their union! However, they wanted a simple, relaxed, and, most importantly, nature-focused ceremony. As you’ll see in the following photos, we are so pleased they had their dream Oahu venue wedding!

With a nature theme in mind, Julia walked down the aisle and was showered with rose petals. We absolutely love it when our brides include this floral detail in their ceremony! It felt thoroughly tropical and authentically Hawaiian with the jungly mountains in the distance! The gorgeous setting for their tropical Oahu venue wedding was The Royal Hawaiian Golf Club. This location is ideal if you love lush greenery and epic views like our delightful pair! They were so pleased to have chosen this location for their Oahu venue wedding because of the majestic landscape and cinematic scenery. As you can see in their photos, it is pure paradise!

How They Met

Julia and Brandon met at work casually until they discovered something more between them. We often hear that! Originally from Arizona, our lovely pair recently are new homeowners too! They enjoy adventuring with their furry family and cooking together in their free time.

Our tropical bride, Julia, has always been drawn to the raw beauty of the Hawaiian islands. She was delighted to share her love for the islands with Brandon since it was his first time visiting! As nature lovers, they wanted a ceremony reflecting the simplicity and tropical colors in the Oahu’s landscape. We were so honored to capture their dream Oahu venue wedding!

Sealed With A Kiss

With their closest friends and family nearby, Julia and Brandon were off to the lush forests of Oahu to capture their first moments together as husband and wife! It was about time because they had been dating for 10 years! But it was well worth the wait, as you can see! True love always is worth the wait, in our opinion…

Natural Beauty

As we went to take their private newlywed photos, we couldn’t stop looking in awe at Julia’s colorful bouquet! It is the epitome of tropical elegance with protea, ginger, anthurium, and the like! It matched her warm and charismatic personality beautifully. The birdsong and banyan trees added to the tropical ambiance that brought its own kind of magic to the day! We gushed over her flower crown and ethereal slit dress; she looked positively radiant, don’t you think?! Brandon certainly thought so – he looked at his new bride with such love and deep friendship, as you can see below!

Sending Julia and Brandon a huge mahalo from all of us a Simple Oahu Wedding! Your special day was an honor to capture, it was tropical elegance at its finest! May you have all the love and happiness together in your next chapter… until we meet again in paradise!

A few years ago, Ava and Arthur spent a week on the island for Arthur’s birthday. Our gorgeous pair loved exploring this destination! They did a new hike every day and tried skydiving for the first time. When it was time to plan their special day, they knew a Oahu wedding would be ideal for them. Our delightful duo could tie the knot with Hawaii’s beauty surrounding them and have new adventures during their getaway. All in all, it was the perfect plan! Keep scrolling to experience this event for yourself.

Kualoa Secret Island was the location for this ceremony! This venue is not just a breathtaking spot — it’s an unforgettable experience. When you arrive at this private beach, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a tropical dream!

In addition, we adore how our charming couple customized the shoreline. The Geometric Arch by Oahu Wedding Altars complements the delicate shades in the two arrangements decorating it! The elegant pink, blush, and white hues contrast exquisitely with the tropical greenery in the florals. Above all, we love how the light clouds in the sky and soft afternoon sun created an impeccable mood!

Why They Had A Oahu Wedding

Ava and Arthur have always wanted to have a destination wedding. From the beginning, they knew Oahu was one of their top choices! The time they spent on the island during their last getaway was remarkable — they knew they’d make more unforgettable memories this trip. Most importantly, none of Ava and Arthur’s guests live in Oahu! They wanted this tropical getaway to feel like a group vacation for everyone attending their sunset affair!

Our Couple’s Story

Our passionate pair has been together for a total of six years. However, Ava and Arthur were engaged for almost three years! They met through one of Ava’s best friends, who is dating Arthur’s cousin. Then when the time was right, Arthur popped the question! Arthur proposed to Ava at Big Lagoon in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines, before the pandemic.

Congratulations, Ava and Arthur! Thank you for trusting us with your special day. We wish you a future full of traveling, hiking, and new adventures!

Pipi and Jordan were a joy to work with as we planned their Oahu beach wedding! From the beginning, we knew their special day would be an intimate and tranquil event. Papailoa Beach was the location for this ceremony — this spot was serene and stunning. The sun was sitting in its golden hour; its rays effortlessly enhanced the dreamy ambiance. Above all, we adore how Pipi and Jordan savored every second of this event! Keep scrolling to see their photos for yourself.

Pipi and Jordan chose the right location to tie the knot. Papailoa Beach created a breathtaking scene for this event! This spot is full of captivating scenery — making it perfect for sunset ceremonies! Surrounding our beautiful couple are dramatic mountains, epic rock formations, and lush greenery. Then the pearl sand and foamy ultramarine waves paired with the warm sunset made the perfect backdrop! Lastly, we love North Shore’s landscapes because you get a little bit of everything. You won’t be able to experience so much of Oahu’s beauty anywhere else on the island!

Why They Had An Oahu Beach Wedding

Jordan is Australian, while Pipi is a New Zealander. However, they both live in Australia! After two years of COVID lockdowns and multiple canceled engagement parties, they realized how challenging it would be to plan a large ceremony. In addition, they’d have to get about 60 people from one country to another and vice versa. Instead, Pipi and Jordan organized a small wedding with their immediate family! Their sunset affair was perfect for them — it was a simple and peaceful event.

Jordan and Pipi’s story began when they met at their job! They’re in the finance industry and have worked for the same company for the past seven years. Currently, they have a pup named Humphrey — he is the apple of their eyes! In Pipi and Jordan’s free time, you can find them running, surfing, or doing yoga!

Congratulations, Jordan and Pipi! Thank you for sharing this special day with us. We wish you a future full of marathons and beach days!

Our lovely couple was smiling radiantly and didn’t hesitate to interact with the environment around them.

Why We Love Their Oahu Venue Wedding

Bohemian, relaxing, and fun are a few words we’d use to describe this venue wedding! Kualoa Secret Island created a dreamy but intimate setting for this event. Then David Asing enhanced the tranquil ambiance by playing soothing melodies on his ukulele. When it was time to begin the ceremony, Kahu Kelehua Kawai delivered an impeccable sermon. Above all, one moment we loved was seeing Jenna and Scott’s son included in the vow exchange! It was such a heartwarming twist to this tradition.

About Our Couple

Jenna and Scott’s story began when they met in college. They were both enrolled in the Zoo and Aquarium Program at their university. Then Scott graduated in the Aquarium Science course, while Jenna completed the Zoo Science program. Currently, Jenna is a zookeeper at the Duke Lemur Center. Scott installs aquariums and takes care of fish! Lastly, our charming couple has a fourteen-year-old son who just started high school!

Dalia was born on the island, so she feels spiritually connected to Hawaii. Once she and Adrian got engaged, she knew they had to have an Oahu venue wedding! Our lovely couple’s sunset ceremony was relaxing, grounding, and modern. Most importantly, this event was a beautiful way for Dalia and Adrian to tie the knot!

Kualoa Secret Island set the stage for this evening occasion. We like this location because you can customize your venue ceremony to fit your personality. However, we adore this spot because it’s private and full of breathtaking landscapes. The dramatic mountains, ivory sand, and cerulean waves created a fairytale scene! Then the heavy cloud coverage and soft sunset enhanced the dreamy ambiance.

Why We Love Their Oahu Venue Wedding

We can’t get enough of these wedding pictures by Karma Hill Photography! We especially like how they captured all the meaningful events from this ceremony. Kahu Kawena Mechler was the officiant, and she delivered a heartfelt sermon! She even included a moment of silence to honor Adrian’s parents, Marry and Oscar, who passed away.

Dalia and Adrian styled the shoreline with an elegant circle arch and bamboo chairs from Aloha Artisans! Next, we like how they adorned this curve with two tropical floral arrangements from Dellables.

Our Couple’s Story

Dalia and Adrian met one another at work, and they bonded instantly! Our bride says Adrian’s sense of humor would never leave her thoughts. Unfortunately, Dalia’s schedule changed. After this, our delightful duo stopped seeing one another at work. Thankfully, they reconnected on Facebook! After being together for ten years, Adrian popped the question with Dalia’s family around them! Our stunning couple had a Hawaii wedding because Dalia dreamt of having a grounding but unifying ceremony on the island!

Congratulations, Dalia and Adrian! Thank you for letting us be part of your fascinating wedding day. We wish you a future full of outdoor adventures, scenic hikes, and quality time with your dogs!

Bianca and Josh always knew they wanted to get married in Hawaii. The biggest question to answer was which island was best for them. After countless hours of research, they decided an Oahu beach wedding would be perfect for them. Scroll down to see this charming wedding for yourself!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Bianca and Josh wanted a simple and peaceful celebration on the beach. Waimanalo Bay set a stunning backdrop for this event with its sensational mountains and sparkling aqua ocean. This serene East Oahu spot provides a breathtaking landscape and plenty of space for a wedding!

Our beautiful couple wanted to capture the moment while incorporating the stunning Hawaiian scenery. These photos captured by Karma Hill Photography effortlessly showcase everything! In every picture, you can see how radiant everyone is and the beauty of Oahu. We know Bianca and Josh will always be able to relive their wedding day with these exquisite portraits!

Our Couple’s Story

This couple’s story began three years ago on a popular dating app. On May 23, 2019, Josh recommended they go to dinner at their favorite steakhouse! On the way to dinner, Bianca noticed songs they bonded over playing in the car. Before they got to the restaurant, Josh pulled over at the lake, walked her to the end of the pier, and asked her to marry him.

Currently, they have a two-year-old daughter named Scarlett and an Australian Shepard named Penny. Bianca works as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant while Josh is a Hospital Pharmacist.

When they’re not at home, you can find them at concerts, sporting events, and trying new restaurants. They’re huge fans of Boston sports, Mumford & Sons, and Kacey Musgraves! In the future, they can’t wait to take their daughter on adventures with them!

When they saw the endless amount of things to discover on the island, they knew they would have an Oahu beach wedding! We think they made the right decision because their ceremony is enchanting!

Congratulations Bianca and Josh! We’re happy we could make your dream wedding a reality. It was a great time getting to know you. We wish you a future full of discoveries and love!

Laura & Eddie told us that an Oahu Elopement sounded like a dream. They were never interested in a big wedding. Instead they wanted something relaxed and elegant in a beautiful setting. After months of planning, they finally had their dream ceremony. Surrounded by sparkling blue water and dramatic mountains, Laura & Eddie vowed to love each other for the rest of their life! We’re so glad we got to be a part of it, and we’re excited to share these photos!

About Our Couple

Laura & Eddie met in trialing times and in an unlikely place. They were strangers when they had family members suffer strokes at the same time. Laura’s grandfather and Eddie’s father shared a hospital room, separated by a curtain. They ended up seeing each other a lot as they visited the hospital, and soon a shared experience turned into shared love.

These kind souls both work in healthcare administration back home in Florida. They love spending time with their family and their sweet dogs. We’re sure everyone was cheering them on from back home!

Laura & Eddie stayed in Hawaii for 10 days while they were here for their Oahu elopement. First they enjoyed time in Oahu, and then relaxed in Maui too!

Tropical Elegance for an Oahu Elopement

We love Laura & Eddie’s wedding style! They wanted to have a relaxed vibe that was true to the tropical setting. However, they also wanted a touch of elegance and classic wedding style. We think they did a great job of balancing the two! Eddie’s light blue suit and Laura’s chic gown have a timeless look that complemented the look of Waimanalo Beach. And Laura’s floral from Sweet Blossoms Hawaii added the perfect tropical touch!

Keep scrolling to see how the lovely sunset light allowed for gorgeous Oahu Elopement photography!

Thank you so much, Laura & Eddie, for allowing us to coordinate your Oahu Elopement! We wish you all the best for a lifetime of happiness!
