In 2016, Nicole and Ruobin first visited Hawaii! Although they were here for a Nursing Conference, they immediately fell in love with the island. This trip was when our charming duo decided to have an Oahu destination wedding! Their sunset occasion was full of personality and elegance — perfect for our passionate pair. Keep scrolling to see their special day for yourself.

Kualoa Secret Island was the location for Nicole and Ruobin’s wedding — this venue created a breathtaking scene! We adore this private spot because it’s tranquil, picturesque, and dreamy. Dramatic mountains, lush greenery, and cerulean water created an enchanting background! Then the heavy cloud coverage and soft blue sky enhanced the romantic and intimate ambiance. Above all, you can see how this occasion looks like a tropical fairytale in every shot!

Why We Love Oahu Destination Wedding

Ever since Nicole and Ruobin first visited Oahu, they knew it’d be the perfect place to get married! We adore how this sunset occasion was bohemian, carefree, and fun. The shoreline has beautiful decorations! Standing at the front of the ceremony was a two-post wooden arch from O’ahu Wedding Altars. Then our bride and her bridesmaid’s bouquets are whimsical and elegant — they pair flawlessly with the flower arrangements on the archway!

Our Couple’s Story

Nicole and Ruobin’s story began when they first met at the movies. At the time, they attended different schools but had mutual friends. Ruobin asked Nicole to be his girlfriend after they watched Pearl Harbor on May 27, 2001. Then on New Year’s Day in 2021, Ruobin popped the question! Our groom had a plan with Nicole’s sister and friends for this significant moment. Unfortunately, Nicole hurt her back, so his proposal got derailed!

Congratulations, Nicole and Ruobin! Thank you for sharing your Oahu destination wedding with us! We wish you a future full of love, abundance, and happiness!

Lindsay & Matthew’s wedding in Oahu was so beautiful, and their love story warms our hearts. Rev. Kimo officiated a faith-based ceremony for the sweet couple, who were joined by a small group of family. When they started planning their wedding, they dreamed of a relaxing event in a beautiful setting. We are so glad we could help make that happen for them!

And now it’s time to reveal some of their gorgeous photos! We’re so excited to relive Lindsay & Matthew’s special day!

“I Do” Again

Lindsay & Matthew had a wedding in Oahu 13 years ago. Since then, they have had two adorable children who are their pride and joy. But they also experienced challenges that led them down different paths. Some things are simply meant to be, though. And so, as they grew up, they also grew to find themselves in love again.

Now they returned to Hawaii to marry again, this time with a better understanding of themselves and each other. We’ve seen a lot of great couples, and we can tell when a love is extra special. Lindsay & Matthew have an extra special bond that is made to weather the storms and bring joy to the entire family.

We’re so glad we witnessed this ceremony and this incredible relationship.

Sacred Vows at Secret Island

Secret Island is one of our favorite Oahu wedding venues. It’s a private sandy beach at Kualoa Ranch. It features calm water, tall palm trees, and scenic mountain views. This location is so secluded that you must take a special ferry to the ceremony site. What a magical way to bookend your wedding in Oahu!

After their ceremony, Lindsay & Matthew took some portraits around the venue. There are so many great photo ops at Secret Island that we could have stayed for hours. But before long, it was time to send the newlyweds off to celebrate. So we got some final shots of them at the ferry landing and bid them a warm aloha!

Congratulations, Lindsay & Matthew. We are so grateful for this chance to be a part of your Magical Oahu Venue Wedding!

There’s no better feeling than knowing you’re tying the know with your best friend in the perfect way! Sian and Matthew’s Oahu beach elopement was peaceful, intimate, and heartwarming. In every shot captured by Karma Hill Photography, you can tell how joyful this radiant duo is to be getting married in paradise! If you want a reason to smile, then continue scrolling.

Sian and Matthew got to the shores together. However, they didn’t see one another before the ceremony! Once their vehicle arrived at the beach, Matthew got out first. Then, when she was ready, Sian made her way down the seaside! Above all, our favorite moment was when our groom turned around and saw his bride. You could see nothing but adoration and happiness on both of their faces!

The Intimate Oahu Beach Elopement

Next, it was time for the ceremony to begin! Kahu Dennis Chong-Imamura was the officiant for this event, and he delivered a meaningful sermon. Since NA Films was the videographer, they documented this sunset occasion effortlessly! Now, their friends and family can experience this magical elopement for themselves.

Sian and Matthew don’t like having a lot of attention. Thankfully, a secret Oahu beach elopement couldn’t have been more fitting for them! There were no guests in attendance, so this event was intimate and private. Above all, we adore the simplicity of this occasion! Our beautiful duo was able to savor this moment and focus on their love for one another.

Not to mention, Papailoa Beach created a romantic ambiance for this sunset occasion. The heavy cloud coverage and the soft glow from the sun enhanced the enchanting scene. Surrounding our charming couple are breathtaking landscapes! Striking lava rocks, ivory sand, and cerulean waves are decorating the background in every portrait!

Congratulations, Sian and Matthew! Thank you for letting us be part of your intimate wedding day. We wish you a future full of love, abundance, and happiness!
