We are so excited to share Gellie and Ronnie’s Oahu beach wedding! The sun-kissed beaches, the gentle ocean breeze, and the enchanting beauty of the island made it a perfect destination for our high school sweethearts to tie the knot. Gellie and Ronnie realized this dream as they exchanged vows on the picturesque shores of the island’s east side. They chose an Oahu wedding because they’ve always wanted to do a beach wedding, but it wasn’t possible for a church wedding in the Philippines in 2024. But they were already planning on doing a civil wedding anyway, and they were already going on a family trip to Hawaii. So they thought since they would already be in Oahu with their family, why not get married there?! Brilliant idea! They will also be able to hold their church wedding next year too!

Gellie and Ronnie were head over heels in love, and their wedding day celebrated their deep bond. With anticipation and excitement in their hearts, they eagerly awaited this beautiful day; they absolutely LOVE the beach!

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the atmosphere was filled with pure joy. Everyone present felt incredibly blessed to witness and be a part of Gellie and Ronnie’s special moment. Love was in the air and in the ocean breeze, as you’ll see below!

Meant To Be

Ronnie and Gellie’s love story began in the most unexpected of places – their senior year honors arts class. It was Gellie’s favorite class, her sanctuary amidst the chaos of high school. Little did they know that their paths would intertwine in a way that would change their lives forever.

Although they didn’t know each other well at first, Ronnie and Gellie found themselves engaging in casual conversations from time to time. But it wasn’t until a year after high school, about 13 years ago, that their friendship blossomed into something more. On August 22, 2010, they officially became a couple, marking the beginning of a beautiful journey together.

Their love story took an enchanting turn when, exactly 12 years later, on August 22, 2022, during a vacation in the Philippines, Ronnie decided to take their relationship to the next level. It was a magical moment, almost midnight, by the shimmering waters of a beach. With the stars as witnesses, Ronnie got down on one knee and proposed to Gellie, sealing their love for a lifetime!

Beachy Simplicity

Kualoa Regional Park Beach provided an exquisite backdrop for their wedding ceremony! With the ocean waves gently crashing against the shore, Gellie and Ronnie stood hand in hand, ready to embark on this incredible adventure as husband and wife. The setting was nothing short of magical, capturing the essence of their love.

Everyone arrived in the best of spirits, dressed in pristine white attire! Ronnie and Gellie included traditional Cambodian and Filipino elements in their elegant wedding attire too! The purity and simplicity of their outfits perfectly complemented the natural beauty surrounding them. It was a sight to behold, a sea of white against the vibrant blue of the ocean and the sandy shore.

As they exchanged their heartfelt vows, there was so much joy in everyone’s hearts and smiles. Their love spilled over, touching the hearts of everyone present at their wedding. We are so happy this family vacation turned out to be the perfect opportunity for an Oahu beach wedding!

Tropical Radiance

After their sweet oceanside ceremony, our newlyweds were ready to catch a moment alone and bask in the romance of the moment.

Gellie and Ronnie truly looked like a match made in heaven on their special day. Gellie adorned a stunning haku flower crown, carefully crafted with vibrant blooms that perfectly complemented her natural beauty. The tropical crown added an extra touch of elegance to her look, making her radiate with an ethereal glow!

As they stood together, hand in hand, their love shone brightly, illuminating the entire beach. The warm sunlight danced upon their faces, highlighting their smiles and the sparkle in their eyes. It was as if the universe itself conspired to showcase their love in the most enchanting morning light, with the ocean glittering in the distance!

Congratulations to these two love birds! We hope you had a fantastic day! May you continue to have many more beautiful years ahead!

Jennifer and Ryan, being music lovers, often enjoyed live shows and music festivals in the vibrant Seattle scene. So, you can bet that their wedding celebrations were nothing short of spectacular!

After tying the knot, they strolled down to the beach for some newlywed portraits. It was a breathtaking scene, capturing the essence of their love and the beauty of Oahu.

They had been engaged for almost a year and were excited to tie the knot before their little baby girl arrives. And they also were planning to spend their honeymoon in Hawaii too!

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and after realizing how much work and money it took, they decided to go with the easiest and most carefree option – eloping in Hawaii! They turned their trip into a wedding/honeymoon/babymoon combo, which was the perfect way to start their new adventure together!

Although it was a tough decision to exclude their family and friends from the wedding day, they knew it was the right choice for them! They still plan to celebrate with all their loved ones back home with a party. Plus, their intimate beach wedding was incredibly special and allowed them to focus solely on each other and their love. It was casual, carefree, and relaxed…

They exchanged their heartfelt vows at Kualoa Beach Park, and it was a beautiful and breezy day. The stunning backdrop of the ocean and China Man’s Hat added even more magic to their Oahu beach wedding. They looked so happy and head over heels in love, which made our job as wedding photographers even more enjoyable!

Angeline and Rob are the epitome of happiness and ease in their Oahu beach wedding photos!

It’s clear that they’re absolutely in love with each other in the way they gaze into each other’s eyes and share tender kisses.

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!

On a bright blue day full of sunshine, Annie and Billy tied the knot at their Oahu venue wedding! These two met on a dating app while Annie was in nursing school and Billy served in the navy. The stars aligned when they met, and both felt incredibly lucky to have met when they did! After two years of dating long distance, they finally got engaged, and their big day arrived on March 23rd! Relive their beautiful day with us through these highlights below!

They couldn’t have asked for a better location for their vows! The breathtaking scenery and privacy of Secret Island were exactly what our happy couple had hoped for. The ocean blues and greenery created a beautiful feeling of harmony and serenity for their guests too! We love the circle arch they included to serve as a tropical altar, too…picture perfect!

What we loved about their Oahu venue wedding was all of the tropical details of their special day, from Annie’s vibrant bouquet to the turquoise waters! One reason they chose to marry in Oahu was that Billy visited Honolulu during his time in the Navy, and Annie had always wanted to visit. And most importantly, they wanted a fun, low-stress wedding, and Hawaii seemed like the perfect place!

A Dream Come True

It was incredibly romantic, with the swaying palm trees framing their newlywed portraits. Annie radiated happiness! What a beautiful beach bride she makes…And we love how Billy wore pug socks to honor their pup at home!

After a few beach portraits, our newlyweds took advantage of the serene fish pond at Kualoa Ranch. The dramatic cliffs in the distance added another layer of tropical perfection to their already magnificent Oahu venue wedding!

Congratulations, Annie and Billy! We hope you had a fantastic day! Best of luck in the years ahead!

We love it when our couples showcase their personalities during their nuptials! Our sweet couple, Katie and Victor’s playful touch to their Oahu beach wedding celebration made their affair extra unique, as you’ll see below! Their close family members joined the happy couple on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. The sky might have been a little overcast, but that didn’t dampen their spirits one bit!

Their wedding ceremony was simple yet elegant, with the focus firmly on the love that Katie and Victor share. It was clear to everyone present that these two were meant to be together forever! Their vows were heartfelt and touching, especially with the sound of the waves in the distance at Kualoa Beach Park and their children by their side…

One thing that really stood out about their wedding was the couple’s unique touch of personality. They both wore white converse shoes, which added a fun and playful element to the proceedings. It was a small detail, but it spoke volumes about who they are as individuals and as a couple. The message on the soles says it all!

Picturesque Paradise

As they posed for the camera, you could see the love between them in every glance and touch. They were completely lost in each other’s eyes, savoring every moment of being newlyweds.

The natural beauty of Oahu’s Kualoa Beach Park served as a stunning backdrop for their portraits. The gentle ocean waves crashing against the shore, the towering, Jurassic-like mountains in the distance – it was all so picturesque and romantic!

Even as they smiled for the camera, Katie and Victor couldn’t help stealing glances at each other, which was really endearing to photograph!

We feel honored to have witnessed such a beautiful celebration of love, and we wish Katie and Victor all the best as they begin this new chapter together as husband and wife with their sweet children!
