We recently had the pleasure of capturing Brandi & Jorge’s Oahu beach wedding! It was an elegant and authentically Hawaiian affair that was just as relaxed as it was beautiful! We couldn’t be happier for these two! Take a peek at their photos below to re-live their special day…

Their ceremony began with the passing of leis between our beautiful bride and groom…it is a Hawaiian tradition for nuptials that our delightful pair embraced…Brandi wore a haku, or flower crown, that looked so exquisite and tropical!

Our two lovebirds met at work; they passed each other frequently in the hallways, and they kept finding excuses to talk to each other! Brandi finally rustled up the nerve to finally ask Jorge out! And, over nine years later, here they are on the beach, tying the knot!

Our lovely pair have always had a special connection to Oahu – they got engaged here! They knew they wanted to return here and began planning their Oahu beach wedding with us! It was long-awaited, and they were so excited to celebrate this milestone with their friends and family!

As you can see, their nuptials had the most epic and dramatic setting! Papa’iloa Beach was the gorgeous location for their Oahu beach wedding. This hidden gem is on Oahu’s North Shore, just outside Haleiwa town. Its aquamarine waters, rolling waves, and the long stretch of white sandy beach were the perfect Hawaiian backdrop for our newlyweds!

After their ceremony, we captured their entire wedding party, which was authentically Hawaiian! We love her bridesmaids’ tropical floral dresses and the aloha shirts! We love how wholeheartedly they embraced the Hawaiian theme and culture!

Our delightful couple couldn’t wait to take a few personal portraits together with the crashing waves in the distance…their Oahu beach wedding was everything they dreamed of!

Oahu Holds Our Hearts

We wandered further down the beach to the rockier end to capture more private moments together as husband and wife! Brandi and Jorge wanted a simple, elegant, and fun wedding in a place with so much personal significance! They were more than ready to begin their next chapter together…

And of course, we have to talk about Brandi’s wedding dress! We love the sultry draping around the neckline and the elegant slide-side slit!

Mahalo to Brandi and Jorge for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding! We wish you the very best in your next chapter together! Much aloha…

Recently, we had the pleasure of capturing Joann and Marcell’s Oahu beach wedding! Our newlywed’s private beach ceremony was an intimate and elegant celebration with their closest friends and family. There is something so magical and surreal about getting married on the beach! Hawaii was our lovely couple’s dream wedding destination, as you’ll see in their stunning photos below…

A Life Commitment – Their Oahu Beach Wedding

Let’s rewind a bit and share how are delightful couple met! Thanks to the modern dating scene, they met on a dating app in 2018! They went out for Korean BBQ on their first date and never looked back! After that, they began dating, and three years later, they vacationed in Hawaii to celebrate Joann finishing nursing school and preparing for her board exam! What an accomplishment!

On that trip, Marcell asked the big question – he was so nervous that he proposed right in the hotel room as opposed to his original plan! We were touched when we heard their endearing story…

The quiet ceremony truly felt like a sacred moment, especially with the beautiful natural surroundings! Beach weddings are incredibly moving for this very reason! The turquoise waters and salty breeze that carried a plumeria fragrance added to the tropical ambiance of their precious moment! Our sweet couple had the most epic backdrop for their very first kiss as husband and wife! Oahu beach weddings have that inexplicable something…we call it Hawaii magic!

Joann and Marcell were elated to celebrate with their friends and family after the ceremony. It was a treat for all to visit the island! When planning their nuptials, Joann suggested Hawaii because of her close connection with the islands. She thought there was no comparison between Los Angeles beaches to Oahu’s – we couldn’t agree more!

After we took a few photographs with their nearest and dearest, we were delighted to capture a few special moments of our newlyweds. They couldn’t help but be playful, laughing in between shots! It was adorable to see what best friends they were…

A New Journey Together

We took these lovebirds around the corner to showcase the natural elements and beauty of Paradise Cove. This location is ideal for an intimate Oahu beach wedding because it is secluded and calm. The weather-worn rocks and tide pools added to the tropical feeling of their day!

Joann gingerly made her way across the rocks in her stunning lace gown – not an easy feat with such an exquisite train! But, of course, her doting new husband, Marcell, was happy to help!

As the sun began to set, the sky turned to a pale golden hue that illuminated our lovely couple. It was the perfect Hawaiian ending to a splendid and joyful day! They were glowing in the sunlight in the photos below!

It was an honor, Joann and Marcell, to photograph your Oahu beach wedding! With wish you all the happiness and success as you start your new life together! Mahalo for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding for your special day!

Our sweet couple, Julia and Brandon, wanted a lush tropical ambiance for their Oahu venue wedding! Surrounded by the island’s raw beauty, their intimate affair was a joyful day as their friends and family joined them to celebrate their union! However, they wanted a simple, relaxed, and, most importantly, nature-focused ceremony. As you’ll see in the following photos, we are so pleased they had their dream Oahu venue wedding!

With a nature theme in mind, Julia walked down the aisle and was showered with rose petals. We absolutely love it when our brides include this floral detail in their ceremony! It felt thoroughly tropical and authentically Hawaiian with the jungly mountains in the distance! The gorgeous setting for their tropical Oahu venue wedding was The Royal Hawaiian Golf Club. This location is ideal if you love lush greenery and epic views like our delightful pair! They were so pleased to have chosen this location for their Oahu venue wedding because of the majestic landscape and cinematic scenery. As you can see in their photos, it is pure paradise!

How They Met

Julia and Brandon met at work casually until they discovered something more between them. We often hear that! Originally from Arizona, our lovely pair recently are new homeowners too! They enjoy adventuring with their furry family and cooking together in their free time.

Our tropical bride, Julia, has always been drawn to the raw beauty of the Hawaiian islands. She was delighted to share her love for the islands with Brandon since it was his first time visiting! As nature lovers, they wanted a ceremony reflecting the simplicity and tropical colors in the Oahu’s landscape. We were so honored to capture their dream Oahu venue wedding!

Sealed With A Kiss

With their closest friends and family nearby, Julia and Brandon were off to the lush forests of Oahu to capture their first moments together as husband and wife! It was about time because they had been dating for 10 years! But it was well worth the wait, as you can see! True love always is worth the wait, in our opinion…

Natural Beauty

As we went to take their private newlywed photos, we couldn’t stop looking in awe at Julia’s colorful bouquet! It is the epitome of tropical elegance with protea, ginger, anthurium, and the like! It matched her warm and charismatic personality beautifully. The birdsong and banyan trees added to the tropical ambiance that brought its own kind of magic to the day! We gushed over her flower crown and ethereal slit dress; she looked positively radiant, don’t you think?! Brandon certainly thought so – he looked at his new bride with such love and deep friendship, as you can see below!

Sending Julia and Brandon a huge mahalo from all of us a Simple Oahu Wedding! Your special day was an honor to capture, it was tropical elegance at its finest! May you have all the love and happiness together in your next chapter… until we meet again in paradise!

Is there anything sweeter than an Oahu elopement? With endless beauty surrounding them, Kathleen & Jason vowed to spend the rest of their lives together. The day was dedicated to their love for each other — there were no distractions or stress—just one memorable moment after another.

Check out some of their photos below, and get ready to be inspired by this Hawaii beach wedding!

Our Love Excels

Jason manages a team of wellness practitioners, and Kathleen is an attentive administrator who loves working in Excel. In fact, their Oahu elopement was planned on an excel spreadsheet. As Oahu wedding coordinators, we get it! Organization allows us to better enjoy our adventures.

Separately they are two adventurous souls who love their jobs and hobbies. Together they run a virtual Stardew Valley Farm and are parents to a (real-life) Shiba Inu named Toki. These Brooklyn 99 are always channeling their Jake & Amy dynamic and look for any chance to share a laugh.

So when it was time to plan their wedding, they knew they wanted something a little off-beat and totally gorgeous. Opting out of a traditional hometown wedding full of obligations and distractions, they instead decided to elope in Oahu.

We’re sure glad they did! We loved getting to know this adorable duo and being a part of their Hawaii beach wedding!

This is Paradise

Kathleen & Jason wed on the shores of Paradise Cove Beach in Ko Olina. This is such a peaceful spot. The calm waters of the lagoon reflected the setting sun beautifully. But it was the couple that really shined at this Oahu elopement.

These two had us laughing all evening. What you’re seeing is a romantic seaside dip kiss. What we saw was an adorable couple giggling their way through a difficult pose. They ended up nailing the shot. They mastered all their Oahu wedding photography, actually!

From a playful twirl to a serene embrace, Kathleen & Jason were down for anything. Take a look at their sunset Oahu portraits!

Congratulations, Kathleen & Jason! Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your Hawaii wedding day!

Clare & Christopher’s venue wedding in Oahu was straight out of a fairytale! The exquisite landscapes at Kualoa Secret Island surrounded our delightful duo as they exchanged vows. Then the heavy clouds and soft sunlight created a romantic mood. Most importantly, this ceremony was the definition of intimate! Our beautiful pair had only two guests in attendance — their two children! Keep scrolling to see this gorgeous event for yourself.

Secret, relaxed, and intimate are a few words our charming couple used to describe their sunset occasion! Kualoa Secret Island was the perfect place for Clare and Christopher’s special day. This private spot has an endless amount of breathtaking views! First, we set up the wedding on the shoreline. The cerulean waves, beige sand, and lofty palm trees were an impeccable background for this tranquil event. After the ceremony, Karma Hill Photography captured flawless portraits of our radiant newlyweds with epic mountains and an ancient fish pond!

Why They Had a Venue Wedding in Oahu

Clare and Christopher wanted to keep their wedding simple and stress-free. They made the right choice by teaming up with us! We covered the basics of planning their day, then ensured their ceremony would look stunning. Above all, we’re glad to hear our passionate pair loves their day! 

This romantic getaway wasn’t our radiant newlyweds’ first time on the island! Thirteen years ago, Clare and Christopher visited Oahu and Lana’i. Since it was one of their most unforgettable holidays — they knew they had to return with their daughters!

Our lovely couple met when they were nineteen years old. Then in 2011, they got engaged in Sardinia, Italy! Christopher is a property developer, while Clare works in Investment Banking. They have two daughters, who are eleven and eight years old. As a family, this bunch loves being active! You can find them hiking, boating, and skiing in their spare time. Lastly, Clare and Christopher have been a couple for twenty years. However, they decided it was time to get married since they were both turning forty. Their Oahu venue wedding was the perfect way to celebrate their strong connection!

Congratulations, Clare and Christopher! Thank you for sharing your special day with us. We wish you a future filled with adventure and great memories!

The Romantic Oahu Venue Wedding

Our delightful duo had their ceremony at Kualoa Secret Island. This private venue is one-of-a-kind! It’s the perfect place for couples who want an intimate and elegant event on the seaside. We adore this spot because it has everything from sandy beaches to dramatic mountain views. In addition, you can decorate the shoreline with an arch and chairs! Above all, we adore this destination because it’s spacious. Brooke and Tyler had plenty of space for their twenty-five guests to sit comfortably and view the ceremony!

When the ceremony began, the ambiance was perfect! Jeremy Hirokawa effortlessly played the ukulele and enhanced the tranquil mood. Then Kahu Dennis Chong-Imamura delivered a heartwarming sermon! More than anything, we love how Brooke and Tyler decorated the shoreline. Their two transparent pillars with the bright pink bougainvillea are breathtaking custom arches!

After exchanging vows and leis in front of family and friends, Brooke and Tyler ended the night with dinner at Dukes Waikiki! We can’t think of a better way to close the day after having such a stunning Oahu venue wedding!

Congratulations, Brooke and Tyler! Thank you for sharing this special day with us. We wish you a future full of love, happiness, and abundance!

A few years ago, Ava and Arthur spent a week on the island for Arthur’s birthday. Our gorgeous pair loved exploring this destination! They did a new hike every day and tried skydiving for the first time. When it was time to plan their special day, they knew a Oahu wedding would be ideal for them. Our delightful duo could tie the knot with Hawaii’s beauty surrounding them and have new adventures during their getaway. All in all, it was the perfect plan! Keep scrolling to experience this event for yourself.

Kualoa Secret Island was the location for this ceremony! This venue is not just a breathtaking spot — it’s an unforgettable experience. When you arrive at this private beach, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a tropical dream!

In addition, we adore how our charming couple customized the shoreline. The Geometric Arch by Oahu Wedding Altars complements the delicate shades in the two arrangements decorating it! The elegant pink, blush, and white hues contrast exquisitely with the tropical greenery in the florals. Above all, we love how the light clouds in the sky and soft afternoon sun created an impeccable mood!

Why They Had A Oahu Wedding

Ava and Arthur have always wanted to have a destination wedding. From the beginning, they knew Oahu was one of their top choices! The time they spent on the island during their last getaway was remarkable — they knew they’d make more unforgettable memories this trip. Most importantly, none of Ava and Arthur’s guests live in Oahu! They wanted this tropical getaway to feel like a group vacation for everyone attending their sunset affair!

Our Couple’s Story

Our passionate pair has been together for a total of six years. However, Ava and Arthur were engaged for almost three years! They met through one of Ava’s best friends, who is dating Arthur’s cousin. Then when the time was right, Arthur popped the question! Arthur proposed to Ava at Big Lagoon in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines, before the pandemic.

Congratulations, Ava and Arthur! Thank you for trusting us with your special day. We wish you a future full of traveling, hiking, and new adventures!

Erin and Kyle decided to have an Oahu destination wedding because they wanted to get away when they tied the knot! We think Hawaii is the perfect place to celebrate your love. Then our delightful duo told us they wanted to have a relaxed and simple ceremony.

Why We Love Their Oahu Destination Wedding

Before the ceremony, Erin and Kyle said they wanted the mountains to be the background for their ceremony! We couldn’t agree more with them. The dramatic landscapes, East Oahu clouds, and the sun’s vibrant rays created a dreamy ambiance for this sunset occasion. In addition, we adore seeing our radiant newlywed’s pure bliss! Megan from Karma Hill Photography captured their romantic wedding portraits, and this affectionate pair was smiling joyfully in every picture. You can tell Erin and Kyle were elated to be a married couple!

Our Couple’s Story

Erin and Kyle were visiting the island from Lexington, Kentucky! Their story began when they met while working on a horse farm. On their first date, they saw a horse named Gun Runner win a big race. Then when Kyle was ready to propose, he popped the question in the front row of the now-retired Gun Runner! Currently, our beautiful duo both work at different horse farms. Erin is an accountant at one, while Kyle is a Stallion Manager at another. Our passionate pair enjoys thoroughbred racing and adore swooning over their two dogs!

Congratulations, Erin and Kyle! Thank you for sharing your special day with us. We wish you a future full of love, happiness, and abundance!
