Paradise Cove Beach

An Oahu beach wedding felt like the only right answer for Justin and Helena. They wanted something private and meaningful, just the two of them, the ocean, and the sound of the wind through the palms. Hawaii offered everything they love in one place: mountains for her, beach for him, and sunsets that make you stop talking mid-sentence.

Justin, a Marine veteran from Florida, now works as an Insider Threat Analyst for the Marine Corps. Helena, from Brazil, holds a master’s in IT Management and manages programs for the World Bank. Together, they’re a mix of strength and calm, lifting weights, gaming, watching sunsets, traveling, and building a life full of laughter. Their two Australian Shepherds, Pepper and Rye, keep them on their toes.

They met on Tinder in 2018, before Justin even had an apartment picked out. He’d just moved to the city; she was finishing college. Neither planned on anything serious. But between coffee runs and city walks, they found comfort in each other’s company. The “I love you” came naturally, and soon after Helena graduated, they moved in together.

When it came time to plan their wedding, a big event never felt right. They wanted something that reflected them: simple, sincere, and full of joy. Their Paradise Cove Beach wedding delivered exactly that. Their ceremony was framed by the beautiful ocean and sunshine. Curious to see more of their big day? Keep reading to see more highlights!

Their photos say everything: the way they looked at each other, relaxed and certain. Their warm smiles as they exchanged their vows. The calm of knowing you’ve found your person.

It wasn’t flashy, it was honest, and that made it unforgettable!

It Looked Like A Dream

Paradise Cove Beach was showing off that evening. The light moved slowly, turning the sand honey-gold and the ocean soft blue with a hint of silver. Palm trees framed the edges of the cove, and the lava rocks caught the glow like they were part of the story. The sky shifted through every shade of pastel: peach, lilac, and the faintest rose, until it finally settled into a deep amber haze.

That quiet magic is what made their day so special. You could feel it in every photo, the warmth of the sun wrapping around them, the gentle reflection of the sea lighting their faces. The setting didn’t need decoration; it was perfect as it was. Every moment of their Oahu beach wedding felt easy and complete, because everything they needed stood right beside them.

Justin and Helena looked effortlessly elegant together. He wore a light tan suit that caught the sunlight beautifully, paired with a crisp white shirt that felt relaxed yet refined, the perfect balance for a beach wedding. Helena’s gown was stunning in its simplicity, a fitted lace dress that moved easily with the ocean breeze and caught the light with every step. Together, they looked picture perfect for their Oahu beach wedding!

Justin and Helena’s Oahu beach wedding wasn’t about grand gestures; it was about gratitude and a quiet commitment to the love they share. Congratulations to you both! You both are the sweetest!

There’s something kind of magical about eloping in Hawaii. You step onto the sand, barefoot and heart-thumping, knowing you’re about to promise forever, just the two of you, the waves, and the sky listening in. That’s exactly what Wayne and Richelle did for their Oahu elopement, and oh wow, was it beautiful.

Oahu welcomed them with golden light, peaceful waves, and the kind of scenery that makes you believe in love even harder. Their intimate ceremony on the beach wasn’t just a romantic escape, it was deeply intentional. Every glance, every vow, every breeze through the palm trees whispered, this is where you’re meant to be.

Eloping to Hawaii is special because it strips everything down to what truly matters: love, commitment, presence. It’s not about chair covers or seating charts. It’s about holding hands in the sunshine and saying, I choose you, in one of the most breathtaking places on earth. Keep reading to see more of their special day…

All We Need

Wayne and Richelle exchanged leis, shared joyful laughs, and soaked up the moment with so much grace and warmth. The conch shell call, the floral details, the lapping waves, it all came together at Paradise Cove Beach like a dream. (With a name like that, it better!) Their love felt rooted, grounded in something bigger, surrounded by the ancient beauty of the island.

And just look at them, glowing, grinning, and radiating pure happiness as they kissed by the ocean’s edge! These photos captured more than a ceremony. They captured the beginning of their next chapter, with all the aloha their hearts could hold.

What Dreams Are Made Of

The sky turned soft shades of peach and lavender, wrapping Wayne and Richelle in nature’s most romantic spotlight. Honestly, it was the only decor they needed, no arches, no centerpieces, just the magic of the earth showing off. When you’re in Hawaii, nature is the backdrop, the ambiance, the whole vibe. And this sunset? It was pure poetry.

Congratulations, Wayne and Richelle! Your day was simple, sacred, and absolutely unforgettable. Just like love should be!

Sometimes love isn’t about grand ballrooms or ornate centerpieces. Sometimes it’s about toes in the sand, the sun warming your face, and the way your person looks at you like you’re the only one on the planet.

Amanda and Robert’s Oahu elopement at Paradise Cove beach was just that: simple, stunning, and soaked in sunlight. And honestly? It was perfect.

From the moment they stepped onto the beach, Amanda glowing in a vibrant floral dress that gave major “tropical goddess” energy, and Robert looking every bit the laid-back, adoring groom in crisp white and khaki, it was clear this day wasn’t about fuss. It was about them.

There was hand-holding. There was soft laughter. And there were kiss-stealing moments that made the palm trees feel like third wheels. The ceremony itself? Small, heartfelt, and utterly them. As the officiant shared a few words, Amanda and Robert stood there with matching looks of “Yep, this is forever.”

The sun turned the sand golden and the water into a shimmery watercolor palette. Every photo felt like a warm breeze, especially the ones where they strolled along the shoreline like it was their own private paradise (because for a moment, it totally was).

Their Oahu elopement was proof that you don’t need a crowd or a ballroom to make a love story unforgettable. Just two people, a little beach magic, and a whole lot of heart!

Amanda and Robert, thank you for showing us how beautiful simple can be. Your day was pure sunshine.

We hope you have the best time in Hawaii as husband and wife! Congratulations!

Some love stories feel like they were meant to unfold beside the ocean—and Lupe and Brian’s Oahu beach wedding at Paradise Cove Beach was a beautiful, sun-kissed celebration of ten wonderful years of exactly that kind of love.

These two have been adventuring together for a decade, starting from a little beach town in Southern California—Hermosa Beach, to be exact—where their story first began. After a few years of being “just friends” in a shared circle, they took a trip to New York City and fell in love in the most cinematic way possible. Since then? It’s been a globe-spanning romance filled with travel, laughter, and the sweetest little third wheel: their daughter, Annika.

From the Great Barrier Reef to Paradise Cove

When Brian proposed in Australia—yes, in Cairns, at the Great Barrier Reef—they knew that a beach wedding was inevitable. It was a full-circle kind of choice. After all, they met at the beach, fell in love in the city, and got engaged by the sea. A wedding on the shores of Oahu, surrounded by the people they love most, felt like the perfect next chapter.

And oh, was it ever.

Their Oahu beach wedding at Paradise Cove was nothing short of breathtaking. The sky was impossibly blue, the waves gentle and glittering, and the entire day glowed with that dreamy Hawaiian light. Lupe looked radiant—graceful, elegant, and full of joy. Brian, proud and smiling wide, looked at her like she was the only person on the planet. (Spoiler: to him, she probably is.)

Annika was the sweetest part of all—beaming with excitement and adding an extra layer of magic to an already incredible day.

A Life Full of Traditions and Big Love

Brian and Lupe’s lives are the perfect mix of tradition and adventure. He’s an electrical engineer working on warfare radars (yes, actual radar systems that detect drones—so cool), and Lupe is a Director of Finance for a nonprofit that serves blind and disabled individuals (also amazing). They spend their winters skiing and snowboarding, and every summer, they return to Brian’s hometown of Beaverton, Oregon, where Annika proudly rides in her dad’s 30-year-old Derby car in the 4th of July parade. It’s a family full of heart, history, and love for the little moments.

Paradise, Promises, and Forever

Their wedding day was lovely in the most effortless way. It was warm, heartfelt, and full of laughter—just like them. The photos from their day show everything: the golden light, the barefoot joy, the way they all fit together like pieces of a storybook you want to keep reading. It was such a sweet family moment as you’ll see!

Congratulations, Lupe & Brian!

Your Oahu beach wedding was a beautiful celebration of a decade of love, growth, and the kind of partnership that only deepens with time. We’re so honored to have captured your story on such a magical day. Here’s to ten more years (and then ten more after that!) of travel, love, and salty ocean breeze.

When Amanda and Erik said “I do” during their Oahu beach wedding, they did it in the most beautiful, simple, and relaxed way imaginable. Picture this: soft golden light, a serene setting, and two people totally in love—surrounded by close family and friends in a setting that could only be described as magical.

The wedding had the perfect vibe—casual yet chic, stress-free but so full of meaning. No need for elaborate decorations or grand gestures—just a stunning backdrop of the ocean and sky, and a couple that radiated joy. The best part? The lighting. It was incredible. The soft glow of the sun as it dipped lower into the sky created a dreamy atmosphere, filling every photo with that perfect “golden hour” glow. It was everything these love birds envisioned and more!

But what really made their wedding shine was their unique personal touches. To commemorate the day, they incorporated some fun and meaningful Aloha-inspired elements, like a Hawaii license plate with their wedding date—a sweet nod to the island where they tied the knot. And how cute is this? Amanda wore a “Just Married” jean jacket that added the perfect casual, yet playful touch. It was totally them—fun, stylish, and full of personality.

The whole day felt incredibly special—nothing too flashy, just an intimate celebration of love in the most beautiful and peaceful setting. They truly brought their personalities to the day, making it a celebration that was as unique as their love story!

Amanda and Erik’s Oahu wedding was the perfect example of how simple and relaxed can also be utterly magical. What a beautiful day it was! Congrats to you both!!

The couple opted for an intimate celebration, surrounded by their nearest and dearest, at the stunning Paradise Cove Beach. Their vision of a simple, yet elegant beach wedding came to life in the most enchanting way. Sophie looked absolutely radiant in her dreamy, floaty gown, while Gregory was every bit the dashing groom. The setting was perfect, with the gentle sound of waves providing a serene backdrop to their vows.

It was a day filled with laughter and love, as they savored each moment, creating memories to cherish forever. Sophie and Gregory took the time to enjoy their newlywed portraits, capturing their joy against the backdrop of the tranquil beach. The simplicity of their day allowed them to focus on what truly mattered—their love and the beginning of their new life together.

Their wedding was exactly as they envisioned: simple, perfect, and full of joy. We hope Sophie and Gregory had an unforgettable day, celebrating their love in such a beautiful setting.
