When Kailey and James planned their special day, they fell in love with the blog posts on Simple Maui Wedding. Once they realized similar services were available on other islands — they knew an Oahu beach elopement was for them! Scroll down to see this intimate affair for yourself!

The Oahu Beach Elopement

Kahu Kawena Mechler officiated this sunset wedding on the shores of Papailoa. This north Oahu beach set the perfect backdrop for their special day. In every picture captured by Karma Hill Photography, you can see how breathtaking this location was! We love how the ivory sand, cerulean water, and sensational lava rocks decorate the background exquisitely. Above all, every photo looks like a fairytale!

Our Couple’s Story

Kailey and James met when they were freshmen in college. They have been inseparable ever since the first day of the semester! In 2016, James asked Kailey to marry him. She said yes, but also no because they weren’t quite ready yet. Our lovely couple circled back to the question after they finished college and started their careers. Then in 2020, they publicly got engaged!

This occasion was our gorgeous couple’s first time in Hawaii! They were most excited to make this visit more remarkable with their wedding and honeymoon.

Since Kailey and James are an adventurous duo, eloping in Oahu was right up their alley! Most importantly, we’re glad we were able to be part of their delightful wedding day!

Currently, they moved to a new city and just recently finished settling in. We can’t wait to see what pictures they hang on the walls of their new home! There are so many enchanting shots to choose from!

Congratulations Kailey and James! It was a pleasure to be part of your elopement. We wish you a future full of free time in your ‘87 Volkswagen Westfalia!

Her eyes are bright with happiness — you can see the excitement on her face!

What a handsome groom! His cool-toned suit is perfect for the occasion! We love how the light hues of his suit enhance the natural color palette. Most importantly, his attire goes flawlessly with Veronica’s gown.

Before you can plan your wedding, first you need to find the ideal location. Stefany and David decided that a beach wedding in Oahu was the perfect place to tie the knot! Scroll down to experience their elegantly tranquil wedding for yourself.

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Stefany and David wanted a beautiful, quiet, and scenic wedding; that made Waimanalo Bay the perfect location for them. This East Oahu beach set a serene backdrop with its white sandy shores and clear ultramarine water. We love how the natural tones of the landscape complement the soft white hues of the bride and groom’s outfits!

Our Couple’s Story

David is originally from the Philadelphia area, and Stefany is from Long Island, New York. Seventeen years ago, David moved across the country to San Diego. Then ten years later, Stefany relocated to America’s Finest City as well. In 2015, the two met on a popular online dating site where sparks flew. On July 2, 2021, they got engaged at Ruth’s Chris Steak House! 

Now, they have an orange pet cat, Smoochy, who is their alpha and omega! To them, Smoochy represents all the good things in the world. We wish Smoochy was at your beach wedding in Oahu because we’re positive he would’ve been the cutest cat we’ve ever seen!

This sunset is magnificent because of the pastel rainbow painting the sky behind the silky clouds. Above all, one of our favorite things is how the muted colors enhance the striking scenery of the beach. Since the hues from the landscape are deep, they are more dramatic against the delicate sunset’s light shades.

It’s never easy to capture so many gorgeous elements but this photo, shot by Karma Hill Photography, does it effortlessly! They caught the love between our newlyweds and the beauty of Oahu exquisitely.

Congratulations, Stefany and David! We wish you both a marriage full of love, adventures, and fun memories! Lastly, Thank you for letting us be part of your special day.

For Randi and Carla, Hawaii is very near and dear to their hearts since Randi’s family lives on the island. So when it was time to plan their special day, there was no doubt in their mind they would have an Oahu beach wedding!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Waimanalo Beach set the perfect scene for Carla and Randi’s modern wedding and that’s reflected in the captivating pictures shot by Karma Hill Photography. We love how the delicate sunset paints the sky, the striking mountains in the distance, and the turquoise water at the shore balances beautifully with the soft white of their dresses. Both brides are glowing with absolute joy; scroll down to see more photos of these radiant newlyweds!

Our Couple’s Story

Randi and Carla first met through a mutual friend of theirs and two years later they began dating. Their years together are filled with hilarious jokes and unforgettable memories that both of them cherish forever. Currently, during their free time, you can find them going on holidays to visit their family and friends. But no vacation for them is complete without tuning in to watch a few episodes of forensic files. Above all, we’re glad that one of your getaways was your wedding on Waimanalo beach with us!

Congratulations to you both! It was amazing getting to know you. Lastly, we wish you a lifetime of funny jokes and remarkable experiences!

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!

Last week, Sara and Dereck were wed with a beautiful Oahu beach wedding on the shore of Waimanalo. With loved ones cheering them on and the salty sprays of the ocean, this was a ceremony fit for any island dream!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Wearing a traditional silhouette with a lace halter, Sara was radiant. We loved how Dereck brought his own modern twist to the beachside groom. And the fact that their little guys matched had us smiling from ear to ear! Keep scrolling for all the sweet moments!

Our Couple’s Story

We often have our brides share their stories, but today we’re excited to share the words of our groom! 

From our groom: “Sara and I used to hold hands while in class in middle school. We both graduated from the same middle school and high school together. We lived our own separate lives and almost a decade later ran into each other at a strawberry festival in Garden Grove California.”

“I think Sara’s mom Angela fell in love with me first and asked Sara who I was. I met her family, chatted for a little bit and we went our own ways. Shortly after, I attended a Quincenera my brothers were a part of and little did we all know Sara and her family were at this Quinceanera. We danced the night away and later that same evening went on our first date.”

“Sara jumped on the back of my motorcycle, her brother Sergio took a picture of us before we left and we had dinner at an elegant restaurant on Balboa Island. Sara loves fillet mignon, so on Angelo’s birthday Oct 26, 2019, I proposed to her at a beautiful restaurant known as the Orange hill restaurant in Orange County California while she was pregnant with Zeus. We are blessed with two handsome boys Angelo 7 and Zeus 1 1/2.” 

Congratulations, Sara and Dereck! Thank you for trusting us with your Oahu beach wedding! We wish you all the happiness in the future!

Rhea Mae and Oscar’s Oahu micro wedding was something so wonderful it’s hard to sum it up in words. Set on the tropical venue of the Paradise Cove Luau’s Ocean Lawn, and with an intimate number of guests and endless tropical beauty and love, we were thrilled to help make Rhea Mae and Oscar’s wedding dreams come true. 

The Oahu Micro Wedding

Rhea Mae and Oscar chose to have an Oahu micro wedding because for them it was like coming home. Rhea Mae was born on the island, and Oscar was looking forward to meeting Rhea’s island family. They kept the ceremony small, but plan to have a larger event when it pans out to be safer in the future. We felt it was the perfect guest count for an intimate and tropical ceremony. 

Our Couple’s Story

Rhea Mae and Oscar’s engagement story is so sweet, we had to let our bride share it: 

“Oscar and I met back in college at Oregon State University four years ago. We both were engineering majors at the university. and were introduced through common friends. After we started hanging out together more, we learned we had common interests and passions, and the rest is history! We got engaged on Christmas Eve 2020, and Oscar asked me on a frozen lake!”

“Given the winter season, we had to hike two miles down to the lake from the parking lot. The weather at the lake and mountain could not have been more beautiful. After a quick lunch at the lake, we were intrigued and walked onto the frozen lake, with the mountain perfectly in the background. As we were walking on the lake, Oscar began to talk about how much they loved me, then went down on one knee, and asked the question! First I said “let me think about it”, and then quickly said, “of course.” How sweet is that?! Keep scrolling for more from this amazing couple! 

Congratulations, Rhea Mae and Oscar! Thank you for trusting us with your Big Day! We wish you all the very best in your incredible journey!

A simple morning ceremony with some great photos – sounds like the perfect Oahu Beach Wedding! Karra & Eric are such a sweet couple, we’re so glad we got to plan this for them. They didn’t need a big, dramatic wedding. Instead they opted for beautiful simplicity – barefoot on the beach. Joined by two precious guests – their daughters, Karra & Eric said I-Do, and they looked great doing it! Take a look at some of their Oahu Wedding Photos!

About Our Couple

This was Karra & Eric’s first time to Oahu. We’re sure they’ll be back again now that they’ve got such great memories from our island plus Karra’s sister lives here! These sweethearts met at a barbershop when Karra was working there. They live in California, where Eric is a general contractor and Karra is a hairdresser.

Their two adorable daughters keep them busy, and they kept us swooning for their wedding. Scroll down and see the sweet girls all dressed up for Mom & Dad’s Oahu Beach Wedding!

An Oahu Beach Wedding in The Morning

We typically plan our Beach Weddings for either morning or sunset. Each are beautiful and special in their own way! Karra & Eric opted for a morning ceremony, and it was stunning! The morning light complemented their chic boho style.

Waimanalo Beach is quiet in the morning and features a magical blue-toned glow. What a great place for an Oahu Beach Wedding!

It also meant that the newlyweds could relax for the rest of their wedding day! After being pronounced husband & wife, it was time for some fun and romantic portraits with Karma Hill Photography. Then they had the whole day ahead of them to enjoy. We’re so glad we got to spend this time with them, and we wish them all the best!!

Congratulations, Karra & Eric! We loved meeting you and your sweet family! Mahalo for allowing us to coordinate your beautiful wedding!
