Victoria and Jamell’s Oahu beach wedding was beautiful, elegant, and entirely unforgettable. This was our fist wedding since the lockdowns began, and we couldn’t have been luckier to have such an amazing couple saying “I do.” Victoria and Jamell have served 20 years in the Army and Marines combined, and it was our immense pleasure to coordinate their very special day. These two lovebirds reside on Oahu and have two baby dachshunds named Mickey and Eli (keep scrolling for the cutest pic!).
As a beautiful and high-tech way to share their Oahu beach wedding with their family, Victoria and Jamell had the occasion live-streamed by a friend, swaying palms and all! And keeping with the high-tech theme (Victoria is an IT specialist after all), this gorgeous couple met online and it was instant chemistry! It only took a year for Jamell to pop the big question — on his lunch break! When you know, you know! Keep scrolling for all of the unbelievably cute moments!
Due to the epidemic, Victoria wasn’t able to have her wedding dress modified in time. So this wise techy couple said hello to Amazon and decked themselves in casual yet gorgeous Oahu beach wedding attire. Linen slacks, hello! Beachy lace dress, yes please! And a sunny button down all make for the perfect casual yet elegant wedding style.
Can we pause a second to state the obvious? How incredibly gorgeous and sincere are these two?? Victoria and Jamell share a special connection — their love was endless and a joy to be around.
After the big “I do,” our sister company Karma Hill Photography whisked our couple away to capture some pretty epic Jeep shots. With wheels like these, who wouldn’t give it a cameo on their big day?
Mahalo nui loa, Victoria and Jamell, for choosing us to coordinate your Oahu beach wedding. Thank you for your service, and we can’t wait to hear about all of your adventures! We wish you the very best in the years ahead.

This luminous Oahu destination wedding featured the sweeping views of Papailoa Beach and a couple worth swooning over!
Eleven years ago, Brittany & Timothy crossed paths during Cinco De Mayo–and it was truly a party worth celebrating! The auspicious day not only marked Brittany’s Sweet Sixteen… but it was also the day their love story began…
While the couple originally planned to have an Oahu beach elopement, they were ecstatic when they discovered their closest family would be joining them on the white sand for their Special Day!
Just as Brittany’s 16th birthday was a day to remember, this couple’s Hawaii beach wedding will be forever cherished. Embraced by loved ones and kissed by the Hawaiian sun, Brittany and Timothy shine bright against the glistening sea.
We love how this couple subtly blends traditional styles with a drop of personalized flair. Draped in a pleated skirt and plunging neckline, Brittany elegantly blends demure simplicity with a hint of bodacious spice.
And Timothy’s sporty footwear brings a playful touch to the crisp lines of his classic tux.
And on this very special day, Brittany and Timothy didn’t let 3,898 miles separate them from their fur-baby. Following the suggestion of Brittany’s sister, this couple came up with an ingenious way to include their canine loved one!
We can’t get enough of these spectacular shots! The north-west lighting of Papailoa beach sweeps romantic hues across the backdrop, reminiscent of impressionist masterworks.
It was our pleasure, Brittany & Timothy, to help make your Oahu destination wedding dreams come true. We wish you an abundance of days worth celebrating in the years ahead!

Coming from New Mexico, Rebecca and Robert were so excited to get married surrounded by loved ones at their Oahu Destination Wedding! It was especially touching to see our bride’s 14-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter there celebrate with them. Intimate weddings are so sweet to be a part of, and we are so glad we could help plan this couple’s special day!
After the ceremony, it was time to sign the marriage license and make it official! As Rebecca and Robert were sealing the deal, we couldn’t help but smile noticing their guests taking in the beauty of Waimanalo Bay Beach 🙂 . One thing’s for sure, this is a day none of them will forget! We know we sure won’t.
Thank you, Rebecca and Robert, for sharing your love with us! We are honored to have worked with you for your Oahu destination wedding and wish you a lifetime of happiness together. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

We love when our clients decide to have an Oahu Trash the Dress after an Oahu Beach Wedding, because it makes for a truly memorable experience! And Deborah and Zachary’s special day was no exception. For starters their ceremony was truly beautiful as they gathered with their closest loved ones at Waimanalo Bay Beach! But our favorite part about working with these two, was getting to hear the story of how they met and fell in love 🙂 .
Deborah and Zachary’s Love Story
They actually met in the marines! Our bride has been a marine for 18 years and our groom has been in it for 8 years. However they only met 1 year ago! And Zach started saving for a ring within 3 months of meeting Deborah. She knew he was the one after seeing how well he interacted with her twins, Kendra and Jude. Who were both at the wedding and able to participate in the ceremony!
Their Oahu Beach Wedding was all about family and the love they all have for each other! And then the following day our sister company met back up with our newlyweds for an Oahu Trash the Dress session. Which was the perfect way for this couple to start married life!
Thank you, Deborah and Zachary, for sharing this special time in your life with Simple Oahu Wedding! We seriously had the best time with you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness together. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Being part of Lin and Man’s Oahu Venue Wedding was truly inspiring and memorable. We still can’t get over their sweet relationship! From the moment our bride made her entrance, it was easy to see just by the look on our groom’s face that she makes him the happiest man in the world! And it’s safe to say Lin feels the same way about Man 🙂 .
Our Bride’s Styling
Plus it’s no wonder why Man couldn’t take his eyes off of Lin throughout their Oahu Venue Wedding! I mean just look at her. In a stunning full wedding gown with a half veil and a custom bouquet to complete her look, she was seriously radiant! And we are in love with the half updo our friends at Reveal Hair and Make-up designed to keep Lin’s hair out of her face while still showcasing beautiful long curls.
Thank you, Lin and Man, for sharing such a special morning with Simple Oahu Wedding! We had the best time celebrating with you and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

This couple decided to keep their Oahu Beach Elopement a complete surprise by not telling anyone! And we are thrilled to have been part of it. Not only was it a beautiful morning, but the love these two shared was so strong it was almost tangible!
A Memorable Moment
One of our favorite parts of this Oahu Beach Elopement was seeing our groom, Son so enthusiastic for their first dance. He didn’t hold back and impressed all of us, including our bride! Moments like this are what make a wedding day truly special and memorable.
Diem then changed into a second dress for wedding portraits, which she said was more her style. And we love these shots our sister company captured of our newlyweds letting loose and having fun in the crashing waves. It’s easy to see the bond they share is unbreakable, so we have every confidence they will have a long and happy life together!
Thank you so much, Diem and Son, for trusting Simple Oahu Wedding to help plan your surprise ceremony. We had the best time celebrating with both of you! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Jordan and Robbie said “I do” with their toes in the sand at a truly intimate Oahu Elopement at one of our favorite spots on the island. Waimanalo Bay is a long sandy beach featuring dramatic mountains and rock formations in the distance. Plus with a dreamy area full of green trees, this location provides all the best aspects of Hawaii!
Another reason we love having elopements here is that it’s usually very empty and the dramatic scenery and soft light make for the most amazing photos! And that’s exactly what this bride and groom got on their special day 🙂 . We are truly honored that this couple chose to share their Oahu Elopement with us! And wish them all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations Jorand and Robbie, Warm Aloha!

Mary and Tanner came from Tennessee for their Waimanalo Bay Elopement. And to celebrate in style they are taking a cruise ship to every island! What a great idea, we seriously can’t think of a better way to start off on the journey of marriage 🙂 .
Intimate weddings are always a special experience and this Waimanalo Bay Elopement was no exception! We especially love how our bride included a photo of her aunt and uncle, who raised her and have both passed, on her bouquet. And even though they couldn’t be there with her in person, we have no doubt they were there in spirit!
Thank you so much, Mary and Tanner, for asking Simple Maui Wedding to help make this day one to remember. We had the best time working with you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness together! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!
