Whenever you visit a new place, your trip should be full of meaningful moments. This special occasion was Diamond and Morgan’s first time in Hawaii, and they made it remarkable by having an Oahu venue wedding! Scroll down to see this stunning event for yourself!

The Oahu Venue Wedding

Held between the lush greenery and striking mountains of East Oahu, this wedding is straight out of a fairytale! The Royal Hawaiian Golf Club was the ideal location for this intimate and rustic affair.

In the photos captured by Karma Hill Photography, you see how the lavish rainforest created a dreamy backdrop. Our lovely couple probably felt like they were uniting in a fantasy! Most importantly, we love how nature’s fresh palette beautifully complements the burnt orange fabric and delicate flowers draped on the arch!

Lighthearted pictures, like this one, always look breathtaking in a frame. Above all, we love seeing our radiant newlyweds having fun in their photoshoot!

Our Couple’s Story

Diamond and Morgan’s story began when they met at a high school in Chicago! After being together for almost ten years, Morgan popped the question last year. He felt the moment was perfect at Diamond’s graduation party in front of all of their family and friends! Our gorgeous couple decided to have an Oahu venue wedding because it was somewhere they’ve both wanted to visit. 

Currently, Diamond is an OBGYN resident physician and now lives in Michigan. You can find her exploring new cities, going to brunch, and crafting. While Morgan is the Head Football Coach and teaching assistant at a high school. He enjoys anything involving sports, exercising, and youth mentoring.

Congratulations Diamond and Morgan! It was great to plan your destination wedding. We wish you a future full of love and happiness.

Bianca and Josh always knew they wanted to get married in Hawaii. The biggest question to answer was which island was best for them. After countless hours of research, they decided an Oahu beach wedding would be perfect for them. Scroll down to see this charming wedding for yourself!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Bianca and Josh wanted a simple and peaceful celebration on the beach. Waimanalo Bay set a stunning backdrop for this event with its sensational mountains and sparkling aqua ocean. This serene East Oahu spot provides a breathtaking landscape and plenty of space for a wedding!

Our beautiful couple wanted to capture the moment while incorporating the stunning Hawaiian scenery. These photos captured by Karma Hill Photography effortlessly showcase everything! In every picture, you can see how radiant everyone is and the beauty of Oahu. We know Bianca and Josh will always be able to relive their wedding day with these exquisite portraits!

Our Couple’s Story

This couple’s story began three years ago on a popular dating app. On May 23, 2019, Josh recommended they go to dinner at their favorite steakhouse! On the way to dinner, Bianca noticed songs they bonded over playing in the car. Before they got to the restaurant, Josh pulled over at the lake, walked her to the end of the pier, and asked her to marry him.

Currently, they have a two-year-old daughter named Scarlett and an Australian Shepard named Penny. Bianca works as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant while Josh is a Hospital Pharmacist.

When they’re not at home, you can find them at concerts, sporting events, and trying new restaurants. They’re huge fans of Boston sports, Mumford & Sons, and Kacey Musgraves! In the future, they can’t wait to take their daughter on adventures with them!

When they saw the endless amount of things to discover on the island, they knew they would have an Oahu beach wedding! We think they made the right decision because their ceremony is enchanting!

Congratulations Bianca and Josh! We’re happy we could make your dream wedding a reality. It was a great time getting to know you. We wish you a future full of discoveries and love!

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!

Irene and Daniel hoped their Oahu Micro wedding would be relaxed, quaint, and elegant. It was all that plus take-your-breath-away gorgeous! With just a few loved ones watching on, the ceremony at The Royal Hawaiian Golf Club had lush tropical backdrops and a couple who are head over heels in love. 

The Oahu Micro Wedding

We are all about this adorable first look! Daniel’s expression when he sees the love of his life is priceless! Irene looked phenomenal in a princess-cut gown with a plunging neckline all pulled together with a beautiful flower crown. When it was time for the ceremony, Irene’s two sweet children led the way for our couple. Even the exquisite backdrop of the Oahu mountain ranges couldn’t compete with the beauty of this ceremony. 

Our Couple’s Story

Our bride shares their story: “We met in passing over a year before we started dating. Daniel was a travel nurse in my unit and we worked opposite shifts; he literally saw me at my worst (night-shift 12 hrs..NOT cute).  We never really spoke until a co-worker reintroduced us and we never stopped since.  We dated for more than 3 years and he finally proposed in his home state of Alabama. It was perfectly set up at the end of a pier. My parents were a surprise and his family was around as he got down on one knee.” How sweet is that?!

Congratulations, Irene and Daniel! We wish you all the joy in the years to come!

Last week, Sara and Dereck were wed with a beautiful Oahu beach wedding on the shore of Waimanalo. With loved ones cheering them on and the salty sprays of the ocean, this was a ceremony fit for any island dream!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Wearing a traditional silhouette with a lace halter, Sara was radiant. We loved how Dereck brought his own modern twist to the beachside groom. And the fact that their little guys matched had us smiling from ear to ear! Keep scrolling for all the sweet moments!

Our Couple’s Story

We often have our brides share their stories, but today we’re excited to share the words of our groom! 

From our groom: “Sara and I used to hold hands while in class in middle school. We both graduated from the same middle school and high school together. We lived our own separate lives and almost a decade later ran into each other at a strawberry festival in Garden Grove California.”

“I think Sara’s mom Angela fell in love with me first and asked Sara who I was. I met her family, chatted for a little bit and we went our own ways. Shortly after, I attended a Quincenera my brothers were a part of and little did we all know Sara and her family were at this Quinceanera. We danced the night away and later that same evening went on our first date.”

“Sara jumped on the back of my motorcycle, her brother Sergio took a picture of us before we left and we had dinner at an elegant restaurant on Balboa Island. Sara loves fillet mignon, so on Angelo’s birthday Oct 26, 2019, I proposed to her at a beautiful restaurant known as the Orange hill restaurant in Orange County California while she was pregnant with Zeus. We are blessed with two handsome boys Angelo 7 and Zeus 1 1/2.” 

Congratulations, Sara and Dereck! Thank you for trusting us with your Oahu beach wedding! We wish you all the happiness in the future!

Rhea Mae and Oscar’s Oahu micro wedding was something so wonderful it’s hard to sum it up in words. Set on the tropical venue of the Paradise Cove Luau’s Ocean Lawn, and with an intimate number of guests and endless tropical beauty and love, we were thrilled to help make Rhea Mae and Oscar’s wedding dreams come true. 

The Oahu Micro Wedding

Rhea Mae and Oscar chose to have an Oahu micro wedding because for them it was like coming home. Rhea Mae was born on the island, and Oscar was looking forward to meeting Rhea’s island family. They kept the ceremony small, but plan to have a larger event when it pans out to be safer in the future. We felt it was the perfect guest count for an intimate and tropical ceremony. 

Our Couple’s Story

Rhea Mae and Oscar’s engagement story is so sweet, we had to let our bride share it: 

“Oscar and I met back in college at Oregon State University four years ago. We both were engineering majors at the university. and were introduced through common friends. After we started hanging out together more, we learned we had common interests and passions, and the rest is history! We got engaged on Christmas Eve 2020, and Oscar asked me on a frozen lake!”

“Given the winter season, we had to hike two miles down to the lake from the parking lot. The weather at the lake and mountain could not have been more beautiful. After a quick lunch at the lake, we were intrigued and walked onto the frozen lake, with the mountain perfectly in the background. As we were walking on the lake, Oscar began to talk about how much they loved me, then went down on one knee, and asked the question! First I said “let me think about it”, and then quickly said, “of course.” How sweet is that?! Keep scrolling for more from this amazing couple! 

Congratulations, Rhea Mae and Oscar! Thank you for trusting us with your Big Day! We wish you all the very best in your incredible journey!

Enilda & Izhar had a beautiful Oahu Wedding last Thursday! The stunning couple opted for a morning ceremony, so they got to start their day by becoming husband and wife. Green mountains surrounded them, and a small group of loved ones joined them. It was absolutely perfect!

Check out some of their photos that Karma Hill Photography captured!

Hawaiian Traditions

Enilda & Izhar traveled from California for their Hawaii Mountain wedding. Reverend Kimo Taylor led them in a sweet ceremony that also included a few Hawaiian traditions, like a lei exchange and a conch shell blow.

Our favorite part of the ceremony was how sweet the couple was! They were a little nervous and very excited. And most importantly, they are very in love! They would have had an amazing ceremony anywhere, but we think a stunning Oahu wedding was the perfect fit for them!

Recording the Ceremony

Only a small group of loved ones joined Enilda & Izhar for their Oahu Wedding. This made it possible for them to plan their ceremony in these uncertain times. They had many more friends and family cheering them on from home, so they booked a videographer to record their ceremony. This way they can share their full wedding with all their loved ones, and they can look back on it for years to come!

Oahu Wedding Portraits on the Beach

After they said “I Do,” it was time for Enilda & Izhar to get some portraits together! The Royal Hawaii Golf Course offered so many beautiful spots for pictures, we could have stayed there all day. Luckily for us, we got to enjoy two beautiful locations for this Oahu Wedding – the ceremony venue AND Waimanalo Beach.

Enilda & Izhar added on enough photography time to travel to the beach for portraits with their toes in the sand. It was totally worth it! The glistening blue water and the white sand was absolutely beautiful. Now they have a full collection of photos and wonderful Oahu memories – from the mountain to the sea!

Congratulations, Enilda & Izhar! We are so excited for you and wish you a lifetime of happiness!

It was a glistening day on the Leeward side for Demi and Nicholas’s beautiful wedding in Oahu. Paradise Cove beach was vivid with a light tropical breeze that kept the event relaxing and comfortable. We were thrilled to be a part of this couple’s special day!

The Wedding in Oahu

Reverend Kimo Taylor began the event with the beautiful deep sound of the Hawaiian conch. Demi made her entrance wearing an elegant off-the-shoulder boho gown with a flowing mermaid train. We loved how her island look came together with a tropical flower crown and rustic Hawaiian bouquet. Nicholas stood by, wearing his military dress uniform and unable to contain his smile as he watched the love of his life walk down the sandy aisle. These two were meant to be!

Our Couple’s Story

Demi and Nicholas met in grad school, but they didn’t hit it off right away. The magic moment came five years later when he reached out and the spark was lit! Nicholas has two kids from a previous relationship and Demi says, “They’re great!” Demi and Nicholas aren’t just tying their own lives together, they’re also joining their families. Keep scrolling for all the beautiful moments!

Mahalo nui loa, Demi and Nicholas, for selecting us to coordinate your beautiful wedding. It was a gorgeous day and you were a joy to work with. We wish you all the happiness and bright days ahead!
