Chel-C and James wanted to tie the knot somewhere that felt true to them. As they were planning their special day, they decided an Oahu beach wedding would be best for them! Scroll down to see more of this beautiful occasion.

The Oahu Beach Wedding

This ceremony was held on the tranquil shores of Waimanalo Bay. They wanted an intimate, natural, and unforgettable wedding — making this East Oahu beach ideal for them! We love how the organic charm of this beach creates a delicate backdrop for Chel-C and James!

In these photos caught by Karma Hill Photography, you can see every stunning detail of this Hawaiian landscape. As this lovely couple exchanged vows, the morning sun glimmered in the sky and the teal waves crashed onto the sand. You would think every photo was straight out of a daydream!

Our Couple’s Story

This couple’s story began when they met through mutual friends at work. Chel-C had her eye on James from the start! She tried to get him to hang out with her multiple times before he actually did. One night, she helped him home after a night out and kept his wallet so she could see him the next day. In March of 2020, Chel-C and James began dating.

Due to the pandemic and their jobs, they were able to work from home together. During this time, they spent a lot of weekends camping and exploring around Michigan. On their one-year anniversary, James popped the question; he made it perfect by asking Chel-C at their favorite place. After committing themselves before God, their honeymoon was an island-hopping experience. There’s no doubt in our minds this adventurous couple enjoyed the aloha spirit of the rest of Hawaii!

Congratulations Chel-C and James! Thank you for letting us be part of your union. We hope your honeymoon was full of great memories. Wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!

We all looked forward to Samantha & Arron’s Hawaii Destination Wedding for a long time. After postponing from spring 2020, the sweet couple was so patient as they waited for the right time to say “I Do.” The day finally came, and it was an absolute dream! Surrounded by a small group of loved ones, Samantha & Arron wed under swaying palm trees, just steps away from the ocean. Check out some of their photos!

Paradise Cove Luau: A Hawaii Destination Wedding Venue

When Samantha & Arron decided to have their wedding in Oahu, they needed the perfect location! We helped them select Paradise Cove Luau in Ko Olina. In the evening, this is home to a vibrant and exciting luau, but during the day we’re able to use the space for wedding ceremonies!

Their ocean-side lawn is close enough to the beach that the newlyweds could get great photos with their toes in the sand while still having the ceremony in a more quiet area. So they got the best of both worlds for their Hawaii Destination Wedding. The tropical green ceremony site was the perfect fit for the lovely and laid-back pair, and we love how their photos turned out!

A Growing Family

Samantha & Arron were work friends who fell in love! Arron proposed on Christmas Day, and then it was time to start planning a wedding. Both of them had been to Oahu before and love Hawaii, so a Hawaii destination wedding seemed like the perfect choice!

While we didn’t get to meet Samantha & Arron as soon as we hoped, we had even more to celebrate once the wedding day finally arrived! Their sweet son Kristof is cuter than ever, and he’s going to be a big brother soon! Samantha was a glowing hapai bride, and Arron is such a joyful dad. We can’t wait to see their family grow!

Picture-Perfect Memories

After the ceremony, it was time to get some portraits with the beautiful couple! Not only is it a chance to get some awesome pictures, but it’s also a chance for the newlyweds to slow down and and get some quiet time together before rejoining their guests.

The Karma Hill Photography team knows how to capture amazing Hawaii Destination Wedding photography! Of course, Samantha & Arron are so photogenic that they were bound to get amazing portraits no matter what. But we especially love how their photos capture their amazing chemistry and the breathtaking scenery all in one!

Last week, Kara and Travis chose to elope in Oahu on the beautiful shore of Kualoa Beach. With only a few guests but plenty of love to go around, this was a simple yet elegant wedding filled with tropical beauty. 

Elope in Oahu

Kara and Travis chose to elope in Oahu because it was a “dream.” Neither of them had ever visited Hawaii, and who doesn’t want to say “I do” on our spectacular shores! Kara and Travis’ ceremony was broadcasted back home with our “Virtually There Package.” So although the guest count was small, Kara and Travis were able to share their beautiful elopement with friends and family back home. It was truly the best of both worlds! 

Our Couple’s Story

Kara and Travis met while they were young. Kara was best friends with Travis’ sister, but they didn’t see each other very often. Travis and Kara went their separate ways until one special day when Kara’s cousin mentioned that Travis worked with her. Kara said, “Give him my number” and was surprised when he called! They hit it off right away and knew they were meant to be! 

Together, Travis and Kara form a blended family with four beautiful children and love to spend time with family, try new restaurants, and travel to new places–like Oahu! Keep scrolling for more of our amazing couple and gorgeous photography as they elope in Oahu!

Congratulations, Kara and Travis! It was a joy helping you bring your dream into reality! We wish you all the very best in the future!

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!

Last week, Vanessa and Jordan said “I do” during their tropical and breezy Oahu beach wedding. It was a joy being a part of their big day. With loved ones in attendance and that special magic in the air, this was a moment that will live on in eternity. 

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Standing in a flower circle of lovely island blooms and greenery, Jordan awaited his bride while overlooking the glistening ocean. Vanessa made her appearance in a striking gown with a flowing train and embellished bodice. We love the way her vibrant flower crown pops against her traditional bridal look. 

Kahu Kimo Taylor officiated the union, and Vanessa and Jordan tied their lives together. They celebrated with a first dance on the sandy shore while holding each other tight. Later we ventured down to the waterline and the professionals at Karma Hill Photography captured radiant images of our couple enjoying their first moments together as a married couple. 

Vanessa and Jordan met 6 years ago via a fluke accident on the well-known dating application, Tinder. Whether it was a fluke or destiny, it was certainly meant to be! Now, these two are sharing their lives together and ready to walk into a beautiful future. Keep scrolling through the blog for more from their magical Oahu beach wedding!

Elysia and Trevor’s Oahu venue wedding on the sandy lawn of Paradise Cove Luau was filled with light, love, and that special excitement that comes with destiny in the making. Friends and family watched on as our beautiful couple made a commitment based on love and honor while the mellow Hawaiian ocean lapped in the backdrop. It was a heavenly day. 

The Oahu Venue Wedding

Elysia entered with her arms linked with her father and step-father. Looking radiant, Elysia wore a simple yet elegant lace gown, as her hair fell in perfect waves down her shoulders. The ceremony was joyous as our couple exchanged vows and Hawaiian leis to solidify their union together. 

Following the “I do’s,” it was time to celebrate! The team at Karma Hill Photography made great use of the location, finding gorgeous spots of greenery and tropical beach backdrops. One of the many perks of having an Oahu venue wedding is the sheer variety of scenic elements. Elysia and Trevor seemed right at home. It was obvious that these two found their home in the arms of the other. It was a joy to help bring their wedding dreams into reality. Keep scrolling for all the beautiful moments!

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.

We were so thrilled to coordinate Chante and Jason’s Oahu beach wedding. They were married last week on the shore of Waimanalo with friends and family in attendance. It was our pleasure to help them have the tropical and easy-going wedding of their dreams!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

It was a clear day at Waimanalo with white sands that seemed to stretch on for miles. When it was time for the ceremony to begin, Reverend Kimo blew the conch and cued Chante’s entrance.

We loved how Chante made a splash on the shore. She said she wanted her wedding to be simple–with everything but the dress! Wearing a layered gown with a jeweled bodice, Chante is showstopping! And the day only got more beautiful. Chante and Jason exchanged vows and began their married life together. 

Our Couple’s Story

Chante and Jason have been together for fifteen years, but Chante only introduced him to her children seven years ago. She kept him as her hidden secret as she focused on raising her kids. Now she says she’s marrying this man because he patiently waited. And the result was worth the wait! Chante’s children adore him! 

Chante and Jason met 15 years ago at work. Jason proposed during a hike up a beautiful trail in Lake Tahoe. He was far behind Chante when he shouted that he thought their little dog was stuck in her collar. When their sweet pup came racing up to Chante, she noticed a sparkling ring attached to her collar. Our bride said it was “perfect and super unexpected!” Keep scrolling for more of our couple and their beautiful Oahu Beach wedding! 

Congratulations, Chante and Jason! We wish you all the happiness in the decades ahead!
