Ava and Dawson were born and raised in Hawaii. Once they’ve been dating for a while, the conversation about their future came up. The next thing they knew, they were planning their special day! Since this island is their home, they knew a venue wedding in Oahu would be the perfect way to tie the knot! Keep scrolling to experience this intimate event for yourself.

First to arrive was Dawson and the forty-nine wedding guests. While our groom took his place at the front, Ava rode the second boat to the venue. Then, it was time for the ceremony to begin! Our bride walked down the aisle with her daughter by her side. As she made her way to her groom, you could see him shedding tears of joy!

The Romantic Venue Wedding in Maui

Ava and Dawson wanted their wedding to be beautiful, tranquil, and fun — their ceremony was perfect for them! Kualoa Secret Island is a private venue, so this event was intimate. Next, Henry Makua enhanced the peaceful ambiance by effortlessly playing his ukulele!

However, we adore how Karma Hill Photography captured every monumental moment. You can see our stunning couple exchange leis, rings, and vows. Most importantly, you can see Ava and Dawson taking their first kiss as newlyweds!

Kualoa Secret Island never fails to make you feel like you’re in a tropical fairytale! The lush palm trees, long sandy shore, and dramatic mountains create a breathtaking landscape for this Oahu venue wedding. Above all, the sunset at this location was gorgeous — decorating the sky are silky clouds and pastel hues.

Our charming couple met while Dawson was on his trash route in Waikiki. Ava says his cute smile and friendly personality made her want to give him her phone number. From there, the rest is history!

Congratulations, Ava and Dawson! A warm Mahalo for letting us be part of your wedding day. We hope to see you again on the island. Until then, we wish you a future full of new hikes, adventurous travels, and delicious cuisine!

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!

The deep tones contrast with the soft light shades effortlessly. All the leaves are a soft green color; they look pleasant with the burgundy berries.

Our Couple’s Story

Claire and AJ first met at Colorado State University, when mutual friends introduced them to one other. After a few years together, our cute couple got engaged in 2019 following a romantic dinner. AJ wrote Claire a heartfelt note and popped the question at home! During their relationship, they’ve had to spend several years long-distance. Now, they are thankful they don’t have to be apart again!

This getaway was our adventurous couple’s first time in Hawaii! COVID derailed many of their travel plans, and they have always wanted to visit the islands. Having a wedding in Oahu was perfect because they got to enjoy paradise and have a magical ceremony!

Our beautiful couple’s story began when they met in high school; Elizabeth was a freshman while Christopher was a sophomore. Although they grew up in bordering small towns, they went to the same high school. On November 22, 2010, they began dating; and have been inseparable ever since!

In 2018, they got engaged on a cruise to the Caribbean. Christopher had the ring in his pocket, but it accidentally fell out. This mishap caused him to do an impromptu proposal. He saved the day by getting down onto one knee and popping the magic question on a whim! To this day, Elizabeth thinks it’s a funny story!

This Oahu destination wedding was our adventurous couple’s first time in Hawaii! They have always wanted to visit because of the riveting culture, dreamy scenery, and peaceful energy. Above all, they got to explore a new place as newlyweds!

Creating a bucket list will open your eyes to a world of new adventures! For Kristin and Erwin, Hawaii has been one of the destinations on their list. It was a given they would have an Oahu vow renewal for their tenth anniversary! Scroll down to see more of this divine occasion.

The Oahu Vow Renewal

Ten years of marriage is a huge thing to be celebrating! Your vow renewal should be an experience for everyone and full of magnificent views. Our lovely couple chose the perfect place for their event: the Secret Island at Kualoa Ranch!

When you get transported to this spot, you will feel as if you’re leaving reality and entering a daydream. From rich greenery to foamy ocean waves — there are endless backdrops here! We love how our gorgeous couple took advantage of the different landscapes for their portraits. Every picture, shot by Karma Hill Photography, captured Oahu’s beauty and our delightful couple’s bliss effortlessly.

Our Couple’s Story

Kristin and Erwin were both born and raised in the Philippines. Their story began when they met as classmates getting their undergraduate degrees. When the time was right, Erwin planned a remarkable proposal! Kristin traveled from the Philippines to Rochester, Michigan to attend a wedding with him. Before the wedding, with his family around them, Erwin popped the question! We love how Kristin made the journey without having a clue that she’d get engaged!

Ten years later, Erwin works as a Neonatologist while Kristin is a stay-at-home mother. They have a daughter named Den-Den that Kristin home schools. You can find them going on food trips, cooking, and occasionally shopping together in their free time. Kristin and Erwin love to travel together! We are happy that one of their trips included an Oahu vow renewal with us!

Congratulations Kristin and Erwin! Thank you for letting us be part of your celebration. It was great getting to know you. We wish you an eternity of happiness and love!
