We recently captured Ellie and Terry’s stunning Oahu beach wedding, to our delight! Our newlyweds couldn’t contain their excitement about their intimate ceremony. Sometimes the most uncomplicated weddings are the most moving! Please keep reading to see our favorite highlights of their special day….

With Thanks

Our beautiful couple wanted an easy, relaxed affair to celebrate their commitment to each other. We could feel their mixed emotions of happiness, excitement, and a few nerves! During the ceremony, Terry, whose family is of Peruvian and Chinese descent, wanted to extend their thanks to the Earth (Pachamama) for bringing them together and supporting them as they grow as a couple. We were deeply touched by this sentiment, which resonated with our Hawaiian values… They were just moments away from being declared husband and wife!

Hand in Hand

After their intimate ceremony, our fun-loving and easy-going couple walked side by side for the first time as husband and wife! Then, we walked down the grassy lawn to the sandy shoreline at Waialae Beach Park.

We love this beach park because it has plenty of palm trees and is conveniently located next to the larger resorts in Waikiki. Our happy couple didn’t even notice the onlookers who wished them well because they were so swept up in the moment!

They couldn’t have asked for a better day for their Oahu beach wedding! It was nearly a cloudless sky with a gentle breeze. So we went around the corner to capture a few playful moments of our darling newlyweds…

Finally, as you’ll see in the following photos, Ellie and Terry know how to have fun together! Their wedding portraits were just as silly as they were significant! We laughed right alongside them the entire day…

After the giggles and smiles, our lovely couple sought a secluded beach area for some intimate portraits. As you can see, it wasn’t for long until their playful side came out again! Their easy and relaxed nature made capturing their Oahu beach wedding a joy for us!

Mahalo Ellie and Terry, for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding for your special day! It was our pleasure to capture your Oahu beach wedding! We send you the warmest aloha and wish you all the love, happiness, and fun in your next adventure together!

There was so much emotion and beauty during Lani & Alex’s Beach Wedding in Oahu. The stunning couple traveled from Washington to marry on our glowing shoreline. For them, this destination wedding also felt like a homecoming.

Lani’s parents live on Oahu, and this island girl was radiant at their wedding. Surrounded by the warm Hawaii sun and a small group of loved ones, Lani & Alex committed their lives to each other.

We were all in tears! From the bride’s grand entrance to their big pronouncement, each moment was unbelievably sweet.

Karma Hill Photography captured so many moments from Lani & Alex’s Beach Wedding in Oahu, and we’re excited to share some of our favorite images here!

By Calm Waters

Ellsworth Simeona officiated Lani & Alex’s beach wedding in Oahu. He led the pair in traditional vows and Hawaiian customs, like a lei exchange and chant.

The ceremony was full of personality and warmth. Lani & Alex are grounded and authentic, but also elegant and modern. They brought that balance both to the tone of their ceremony and in their visual styling.

Lani wore a tropical haku flower crown with a simple and timeless wedding dress. Alex’s tan suit was perfect for a beach wedding in Oahu. These two would have looked amazing anywhere, but their fantastic style really worked on these scenic shores.

With a tall palm tree swaying gently overhead, and calm waters behind them, Lani & Alex had a wedding ceremony that was as dreamy as it was down-to-earth. We love it!

From a Beach Wedding in Oahu to a Beautiful Forever

After their ceremony, Lani & Alex enjoyed some newlywed portraits with Karma Hill Photography. These two were born to be in front of the camera! Part of it is their natural good looks, and part of it is their curated attire. But it’s also their amazing chemistry.

Lani & Alex each bring their great personalities to their relationship, and they go so well together. You can tell this is a couple who brings out the best in each other. We love to see it!

Spending this late afternoon with Lani & Alex was such a joy, and we’re grateful we could be a part of their Beach wedding in Oahu!

Now with the big day behind them and the rest of their lives ahead of them, they’re ready to go change the world! We know they’ll do amazing things as a married couple, and we’re honored to see this beautiful beginning!

Congratulations, Lani & Alex! Your Oahu wedding was so fun and gorgeous, and so are you!

Last week we got to meet Valeria & Joshua for their Oahu Beach Wedding, and it was such a great time! We didn’t see a lot of sunlight peeking from the overcast skies, but the sweet couple lit up the entire beach with their laughter and love.

Valeria’s sister walked her down the beach-style aisle, and Joshua was all smiles when he saw the stunning bride for the first time. Of course, Karma Hill Photography was there to capture every moment! Keep scrolling to check out some of their beautiful portraits!

We are obsessed with Valeria’s style – it’s the ultimate Oahu Beach Wedding Inspiration. Her off-shoulder gown was both beachy and formal with its lace detailing and classic cut. We love that she had her hair pulled back in a chic up-do. That way if we did have any rain or wind, her hair was ready to stay in place.

The Rustic Hawaiian Bouquet looked fantastic with her bridal look. It lent her dress a tropical touch and added a pop of color to the pastel setting.

Our favorite thing about Valeria’s look was her newlywed happiness! Valeria and Joshua bring out the best in one another, and they both looked incredible on their wedding day!

Congratulations, Valeria & Joshua! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Our Couple’s Story

Cindy and Chao’s story began when they met at a concert through mutual mates. Our delightful duo bonded over food! One year into their friendship, they began dating. Then, on January 26, 2020, Chao proposed to Cindy in Key West, Florida. He rented a sailboat and popped the question while the sun was setting. Cindy says it was magical! 

This adventurous duo is a pair of foodies! One of the reasons they decided to have an Oahu destination wedding was the variety of cuisine options. We hope you guys got a delicious taste of the island!

Congratulations, Cindy and Chao! Thank you for letting us be part of your tranquil wedding. We wish you a future full of delicious food and fun travels!
