Some love stories begin with a swipe and end with a sunset—and Olivia and Joshua’s Oahu venue wedding was every bit the fairytale they dreamed of (but with more sand and way better lighting).

They met on Hinge—Josh, a delivery driver with Nicholas & Co., dipping his toes into the dating app world for the first time. Olivia, a tech auditor at Goldman Sachs, had just decided to give love one final shot. Spoiler: it worked. And thank goodness it did, because these two were meant to swipe right into each other’s lives.

A Christmas Proposal and a Hawaiian “I Do”

On December 17th, Joshua proposed in front of a glowing Christmas tree, knowing exactly how much Olivia adored twinkling lights and festive magic. (We’re not crying, you’re crying.)

Fast forward to their Oahu venue wedding day at Paradise Cove Luau—aka, the most magical setting ever for a celebration of love, family, and destiny. Surrounded by their closest loved ones and their two adorable sons (ages 6 and 2, and absolute stars in their own right), Olivia and Joshua celebrated the start of forever.

The vibe? Intimate. Joyful. Utterly unforgettable.

They chose a destination wedding not just for the breathtaking views (although hello, Paradise Cove!) but to immerse themselves and their guests in a cultural experience that would make this chapter of their story truly special. And it so was.

Congratulations, Olivia & Joshua!

From a first swipe to a Christmas proposal and now a sun-kissed wedding in Oahu—your love story is beautiful, unique, and full of heart. Thank you for letting us capture it. Here’s to forever with sandy toes, starry eyes, and all the love in the world!
