“He knows how much I love this island, and he has never been, so it was only right we have an Oahu elopement,” Marielle told us before her big day! She has been many times, but since Jonathan has never been, she was thrilled to show him the island and celebrate their wedding with their closest friends and family! Let’s re-live their beautiful day with them through our favorite highlights…

Our delightful couple met on a dating app in 2020 and hit it off instantly…it was pretty unexpected, but it was the best outcome – it was meant to be! These two love the water and the beach. They joke about getting a small cottage by the beach and escaping it all! But an Oahu elopement isn’t too bad either, we think! And they couldn’t have asked for a better day…

And to the cheers of their friends and family, they said, “I do!” Our beautiful newlyweds radiate happiness and love in these photos, don’t you agree?

Let’s talk about this lighting for a minute… how stunning are these first intimate portraits as newlyweds? The light is so soft and golden, illuminating the tropical scenery…

This scenic location is Papailoa Beach, and it offers the privacy and natural beauty that our beautiful couple dreamed of for their Oahu elopement!

Marielle looks so radiant! We love her beachy yet elegant off-the-shoulder dress – it was perfect for a beach wedding!

As the sun lowered in the sky, these two shared many laughs together…it was like a dream that they didn’t want to end!

We wish Marielle and Jonathon all the love, happiness, and peace in the years ahead! We can’t wait to see you in Hawaii one day again! Sending you lots of aloha…

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…

Pipi and Jordan were a joy to work with as we planned their Oahu beach wedding! From the beginning, we knew their special day would be an intimate and tranquil event. Papailoa Beach was the location for this ceremony — this spot was serene and stunning. The sun was sitting in its golden hour; its rays effortlessly enhanced the dreamy ambiance. Above all, we adore how Pipi and Jordan savored every second of this event! Keep scrolling to see their photos for yourself.

Pipi and Jordan chose the right location to tie the knot. Papailoa Beach created a breathtaking scene for this event! This spot is full of captivating scenery — making it perfect for sunset ceremonies! Surrounding our beautiful couple are dramatic mountains, epic rock formations, and lush greenery. Then the pearl sand and foamy ultramarine waves paired with the warm sunset made the perfect backdrop! Lastly, we love North Shore’s landscapes because you get a little bit of everything. You won’t be able to experience so much of Oahu’s beauty anywhere else on the island!

Why They Had An Oahu Beach Wedding

Jordan is Australian, while Pipi is a New Zealander. However, they both live in Australia! After two years of COVID lockdowns and multiple canceled engagement parties, they realized how challenging it would be to plan a large ceremony. In addition, they’d have to get about 60 people from one country to another and vice versa. Instead, Pipi and Jordan organized a small wedding with their immediate family! Their sunset affair was perfect for them — it was a simple and peaceful event.

Jordan and Pipi’s story began when they met at their job! They’re in the finance industry and have worked for the same company for the past seven years. Currently, they have a pup named Humphrey — he is the apple of their eyes! In Pipi and Jordan’s free time, you can find them running, surfing, or doing yoga!

Congratulations, Jordan and Pipi! Thank you for sharing this special day with us. We wish you a future full of marathons and beach days!

Our Couple’s Story

Our delightful duo met over a decade ago while in high school — they instantly became best friends! Their connection has survived long-distance dating while they both attended college. The rest is history for Claudia and Xavier!

One day, Xavier planned a private sailing trip for him and Claudia. Xavier wanted to pop the question on the boat with Santa Barbara’s coast in the background. Unfortunately, there was a last-minute change of plans. Xavier instead proposed to Claudia while they were doing their favorite things! Our beautiful couple was at home, listening to music and talking to one another with a bottle of wine.

The Dreamy Oahu Destination Wedding

Claudia and Xavier wanted their special day to be fun, romantic, and classic! The epic scenery at Papailoa Beach created a breathtaking backdrop for this event. Then the afternoon weather enhanced the enchanting ambiance! In addition, we adore how the ceremony musician, Jeremy, played to the mood. Most importantly, we like how intimate this event was. It was perfect for Claudia and Xavier because they celebrated their love with their favorite people around them!

Claudia is a seventh-grade teacher in Los Angeles, while Xavier works for NBC News. Our passionate pair are perfect for each other — they’re always the lives of the party! They enjoy relaxing on the beach and having unforgettable celebrations. We know their Oahu destination wedding is an event they’ll never forget!

Congratulations, Claudia and Xavier! Thank you for sharing your special day with us. We wish you a future full of beach days and remarkable adventures!

On sandy shores, as waves slowly rolled in and the sun quietly set, Rosina & Richard pledged to spend the rest of their life together. It was a gorgeous Oahu Elopement — the couple is beautiful inside and out, and the scenery was breathtaking. But it was their love that made the day truly unforgettable.

Now their wedding is a core memory and a symbol of their commitment. And we’re so excited to share these photos so they can relive the day again and again!

About The Couple

Rosina & Richard met early during the Covid pandemic. They are both traveling nurses who found themselves working at the same location. At first they could only see each other’s eyes, since they stayed masked up at work. But there was a connection there, and when Rosina struck up conversation, a romance quickly blossomed.

Since then, they’ve traveled together to their different nursing assignments around the country. They’re a sweet and loving couple who simply wants a life together. And their Oahu Elopement was a chance to affirm their love and step into a new journey together.

A Meaningful Date for an Oahu Elopement

Richard & Rosina are proud parents to four dogs, so their house is nonstop tail wagging and constant treats. Sadly, they had to say goodbye to their little Chihuahua Lilly last summer on June 30, a tragedy that struck Rosina & Richard with grief but also brought them closer together.

To honor Lilly and the way she blessed their life, they chose June 30 as their wedding date. Now she lives on in this incredible memory, and they get to bring some joy to a date once marked by loss.

We could feel Lilly’s presence at this Oahu Elopement, along with the spirit of all Rosina & Richard’s loved ones. Keep scrolling to see how dreamy their special day was!

Congratulations, Rosina & Richard! We wish you nothing but the best and hope your travels bring you back to Hawaii soon!

Olivia and Gama have never been to Hawaii before. However, after seeing all the beautiful places on this island, they knew they should elope in Oahu! This ceremony is elegant, dreamy, and romantic. In addition, this sunset occasion was intimate — especially since Olivia and Gama only shared this experience with each other! Everything about this evening was flawless, so keep scrolling to fall in love with it!

Papa’iloa Beach was the perfect location for this elopement! When we started, the sun’s rays reflected off the cerulean water. The natural brilliance made this North Oahu spot feel enchanting. Then the picturesque landscapes enhanced the dreamy ambiance! Surrounding Olivia and Gama are striking lava rocks, ivory sand, and lush greenery. Above all, we like how clear the weather is. The sky looks like an exquisite painting in every shot!

Why They Eloped in Oahu

Olivia and Gama fell in love with the variety of scenery this island has to offer. Then, they liked our organization and services at Simple Oahu Wedding. Since they’ve never been to Hawaii before, they wanted to find a team who’d make sure their day felt like a dream! Thankfully, they made the right choice and put their trust in us. Most importantly, we wouldn’t have changed anything about this memorable event. Olivia and Gama’s intimate elopement was simple, spiritual, and tranquil — ideal for them! 

Our Couple’s Story

Our adventurous duo’s story began when they met in college and started dating long-distance for two years. When Gama’s family visited them in Illinois, they had a big bonfire with all their loved ones. During this event was when Gama popped the question to Olivia! Currently, Olivia and Gama have been together for five years. Not to mention, they recently purchased their first home! 

Since they first started dating, Olivia and Gama have always wanted to visit the Aloha State. They’re also huge fans of Hawaii 5-O! When it was time for them to get married, they knew eloping in Oahu would be perfect for them!

Congratulations, Olivia and Gama! Thank you for letting us be part of your lovely wedding day. We wish you a future full of outdoor adventures with your pitbull, Izzy!

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.

All it took was one trip to Hawaii for Erin and Erich to know they wanted to have an Oahu vow renewal! Our lovely couple exchanged rings on the shores of Papa’iloa Beach as the sun began to set above them. It was a truly magical ceremony to witness! Continue scrolling to experience this event for yourself.

Erin and Erich wanted their renewal to be simple, personal, and about their beautiful family. Our passionate couple’s ceremony was perfect for them! With only their ten-year-old son in attendance, this event was the definition of intimate! Ellsworth Simeona was the officiant, and he delivered a heartfelt sermon. Then Rodney Bejer played to the mood on his ukulele during the dances. Our gorgeous bride danced with her son first, then her handsome groom second!

The Romantic Oahu Vow Renewal

Papa’iloa Beach created a dreamy scene for this renewal! Ivory sand, striking lava rocks, and foamy sapphire waves decorated the background beautifully.

There was light cloud coverage in the sky, and the sunset was vibrant.

Our Couple’s Story

Erin and Erich first met at work in 2007, but they didn’t instantly hit it off. It wasn’t until a business trip later the same year when they fell for each other. In 2009, they got married for the first time. Currently, Erin and Erich are IT engineers. Our delightful couple is involved in their local fitness industry. They teach different workout classes and plan to open a studio in 2022! Most importantly, they have a ten-year-son who is an absolute riot!

Our elegant couple decided to have an Oahu vow renewal because their wedding was not about them. Although it was a fun night, it was about what everyone else wanted. They wanted to make this sunset event about Erin, Erich, and their sweet boy! 

Congratulations, Erin and Erich! Thank you for letting us be part of your intimate vow renewal. We wish you all the best with your fitness studio and hope your future is full of loving memories!
