We were excited to meet Michelle & Kenneth for their Oahu venue wedding last week! This sweet couple met 3 years ago by “saying Hi” as Ken puts it! They were just passing by each other in Waikiki when their eyes met! That quick little hello eventually led to a lifetime commitment!

View this gorgeous couples beautiful photos at one of Oahu’s most picturesque wedding venues.

Their Oahu wedding day was like that of royalty! The Royal Hawaiian Golf Club offers gorgeous green lush backdrops that stretch for miles making it the perfect Hawaii venue wedding location. With the round arch set in front of all that gorgeousness, adorned in orchids, its beauty is unmatched. That is, until Michelle came walking down the aisle. Scroll down to see what we mean!

The gorgeous floral arch framed the newlywed couple perfectly with the lush valley vegetation adorning the background.

After their Mauka (towards the mountain) wedding ceremony, this sweet couple headed Makai (towards the ocean). Waimanalo Beach really showed out as well this particular day. Her soft pastel colors and dreamy light really add to the perfection of Michelle & Ken’s Oahu wedding.

Mahalo Michelle & Ken for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding to coordinate your Oahu wedding day! You were such a pleasure to work with!!

Jessica & Jonathan’s Oahu beach elopement was easygoing and beautiful, just as they hoped it would be! There may have been a bit of rain, but it was nothing like the downpour that their hometown of Georgia had been under. Their Special Day was a tropical reprieve from the drenching weather. The clouds cleared briefly during the ceremony and the result was a sky filled with a beautiful gradient of grays and teals.

Our couple’s love story begins with the roar of an engine. Jonathon owns a commercial tire shop and Jessica owns a dump truck business… it was a match made in paradise! Or maybe a match made in the automotive industry and a wedding made in paradise! Jessica had frequented Jonathan’s shop for almost two decades, and when the time was right, these two turned the keys to start their relationship! Two years later, on Jessica’s 40th birthday, Jonathan asked her to spend forever with him, and the rest of the story is below!

How good looking is this pair? We love the Southern charm they brought to the shore of Waimanalo. Hawaii has its own rich history of cowboys (known here as paniolo), and these two are totally pulling off an elegant Oahu Beach Elopement with a rustic country twist! Keep scrolling for all the beautiful shots!

Mahalo nui loa, Jessica & Jonathan, for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding to coordinate your Oahu Beach Elopement. We wish you all the happiness and love in the years to come…

For Amanda & Brandon, a venue wedding in Oahu was the perfect fit for their adventurous personalities! And when we say adventurous we mean it! This couple got engaged in Iceland while camping out in a VW bus! And as Brandon popped the big question on the shore of a black sand beach, he captured it all… on his drone! How legendary is that boss move?!

These two met at the gym, and the first thing Amanda said to Brandon was: “You’ve got a booger in your nose.” Her dad likes to joke that she “picked” the right one. And judging from that incredibly sweet face of his when he sees her up close, we have to energetically agree! Keep scrolling for all the sweet shots!

For their Big Day, they said “I do” on the grassy lawn of Paradise Cove Luau with their closest friends and family watching on. A hush came over the venue as Kahu Kawena shared one of her sacred songs…

And serving as ring bearer, was Brandon’s adorable (and incredibly mature!) nephew!

How epic is this dynamic crew! We love the energy and uplifting mood… and from the looks of it, Brandon was pretty uplifted too!

Cobalt blue and lace for ages… we’re obsessed with this couple’s style! And how incredibly gorgeous are they?! We love their sweet embrace and warm smiles!

Mahalo nui loa, Amanda & Brandon, for trusting us with your venue wedding in Oahu. We hope you had a blast skydiving to celebrate!! And we wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

Come see another gorgeous wedding in Oahu: A Sunset Celebration – Raquel & Alex’s Oahu Wedding

It was our immense pleasure to help Jenna & Tarek elope in Oahu. This sophisticated couple said “I do” on the white sandy shores of Waimanalo as the gentle morning sun spread across the island.

But it seems as if Fate has paired these two with sandy shores… because it was on a white beach in Mexico when Jenna and Tarek first laid eyes on each other. By sheer chance (and a drop of destiny), they found each other while on vacation… and from their first walk along the beach, they knew it was forever.

And now, on the Hawaiian shoreline and overlooking the oceanfront, Jenna and Tarek’s Oahu beach elopement was bursting with the soft, intimate love of a couple designed to be together.

From their tender expressions to their heartfelt embraces, there was no hiding the sparkling electric current that coursed between these two…

Kahu Kawena Mechler officiated the ceremony with her calm and gracious demeanor. The spirit of her opening chant paired perfectly with the deep, resounding love of our couple.

Donned in a bohemian lace gown, Jenna is the walking embodiment of grace and beauty. Shinning with pride and adoration, her pure joy is luminous and matched only by the soft, sincerity of her devoted groom.

Mahalo nui loa, Jenna & Tarek for trusting Simple Oahu Wedding with your special Hawaii beach elopement. We wish you an abundance of love and plenty of romantic walks in the sand for the years ahead!

Come see more of our gorgeous Oahu beach wedding packages.

A gentle mist blessed the valley during the spirited Oahu beach wedding of Michelle and Hanna-Klara. We were honored to capture the sweet and endearing love that shines from this beautiful young couple. 

With the Secret Island of Kualoa Ranch setting the stage, the ceremony was feminine with a splash of tropical allure and foggy mystery. Endless blooms of coconut palms and local greenery painted the shoreline, while the calm ocean lapped gracefully in the foreground. It all served as the perfect canvas to capture the tender affection that filled this whimsical Oahu wedding.  

Before setting sail to Secret Island, the couple shared a few intimate moments on the floating dock, rocking to-and-fro with the pulse of the ocean. Does it get more romantic?

The ceremony was ordained over by the talented Kahu Kawena Mechler. She began the union with a traditional Hawaiian chant, and the guests fell into a silent reverie as they soaked in the melody, the oasis-like venue, and the tranquil love between the brides.

Michelle guided Hanna through the Jewish tradition of glass breaking as her proud father took pictures of the joyous occasion.

We loved the thoughtful touch of the two overlapping rainbows on the silken sack. It was a perfect way to commemorate both family heritage and the LGBTQIA community.

This stunning capture looks as if it was freshly painted. Two lovely women donned in white dresses carrying bouquets and parasols, all set against the aquamarine sea… did we just stumble into a Monet?

As an end to the beautiful day, the couple shared their first dance on the wooden dock, swaying to the music and the rhythm of the ocean.

Thank you for sharing your Special Day with us, Michelle and Hanna… we wish you the fondest aloha in the years to come…

Michelle and Mike kept their Oahu Elopement at Paradise Cove a complete surprise from family and friends! Eloping is always special and we love this idea. How fun to head into marriage with no one but the two of you as the focus (or even in on it)!

• 

• 

After meeting 2 years ago at work, these two were so excited to come to Hawaii for the first time together for their Paradise Cove Oahu Elopement! Michelle and Mike had both visited separately before, and we’re confident this won’t be the last of their trips to the island! Thank you, Michelle and Mike, for sharing your special day with us. We wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

After dating for 3 years, Katie and Ethan were so excited celebrate their love by getting married at an Oahu Beach Wedding! This was our bride’s first trip to Hawaii, but our groom’s third. And we’re confident they will be coming back together again and again over the years 🙂 .

• 

• 

Besides choosing an intimate setting for their Oahu Beach Wedding, Katie and Ethan also decided to keep their ceremony intimate with no wedding guests. But that doesn’t mean they weren’t surrounded by the love of family! In fact, they honeymooned on our sister island of Kauai where her late mother married her father. How sweet is that?!

• 

• 

After taking beautiful wedding portraits with our sister company, these newlyweds were excited to end the evening with a delicious dinner at Kai Steakhouse. The perfect ending to an already perfect day! Thank you, Katie and Ethan, for sharing such a special occasion with Simple Oahu Wedding. We couldn’t be happier for you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

This picture-perfect setting provided a gorgeous backdrop for Laura & Makoto’s Oahu Venue Wedding. The Royal Hawaiian Golf Course sits deep in the Maunawili Valley on the South East side of Oahu. Its picturesque mountains and lush green jungle are absolutely stunning and one of my favorite venues to work at!

Laura & Makoto traveled here from Japan to have their Hawaiian dream wedding. They were joined by a close group of family that shared in their love for each other. After their heartfelt ceremony this lucky couple was accompanied along the grounds of the golf course by their fabulous photographer Mike. He was able to capture such joy and love creating a beautiful wedding collection that they will cherish forever!

Thank you so much Laura & Makoto for letting Simple Oahu Wedding coordinate your perfect wedding day! We are honored! We look forward to sharing the rest of the pictures with you!
