Waimanalo Beach

Hannah and Coleman’s Oahu venue wedding was an absolute dream come true! From the moment they said “I do” to their romantic stroll on the beach, every moment was filled with love, laughter, and pure joy.

As an accountant and an insurance company employee, Hannah and Coleman lead busy lives back in Georgia. But when it came to planning their wedding, they knew they wanted something special—a destination wedding in Hawaii. After researching their options, they fell in love with the idea of a package deal that would take care of all the details, allowing them to focus on enjoying their big day. That’s where we come into the picture!

And what a day it was! Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club, Hannah and Coleman exchanged vows surrounded by lush greenery and panoramic views. The sun shone down, casting a warm glow over the ceremony and adding to the magic of the moment. Keep reading to see more!

Gathered Together In Celebration

Hannah and Coleman celebrated their union with their closest friends and family at the lush Royal Hawaiian Golf Club. There were tears of joy, words of love, and so many tender moments. Our lovely couple’s emotions can be seen in these touching portraits from their ceremony. It meant so much to Hannah and Coleman to have their dream wedding with their friends and family by their side…

After sealing their love with a kiss, Hannah and Coleman took some stunning newlywed portraits around the picturesque property. From the manicured lawns to the serene mountains, every photo captured the essence of their love and the beauty of their surroundings. How beautiful do they look? Hannah’s gown that pools behind her is so romantic and we love Coleman’s choice in a sand-colored suit – perfect for a late spring wedding!

Afterwards they ventured to the breathtaking Waimanalo Beach for additional portraits to compliment their Oahu venue wedding photos! They walked hand in hand along beach, the ocean blues providing a serene backdrop, Hannah and Coleman couldn’t help but feel grateful for this magical day. It was a celebration of their love, their journey together, and the exciting adventures that lie ahead!

Congratulations to the happy couple! May your love continue to grow stronger with each passing day. It was a joy to work with you both! We are so happy to have made your dream of a destination wedding possible! Aloha!

Bianca and Josh always knew they wanted to get married in Hawaii. The biggest question to answer was which island was best for them. After countless hours of research, they decided an Oahu beach wedding would be perfect for them. Scroll down to see this charming wedding for yourself!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Bianca and Josh wanted a simple and peaceful celebration on the beach. Waimanalo Bay set a stunning backdrop for this event with its sensational mountains and sparkling aqua ocean. This serene East Oahu spot provides a breathtaking landscape and plenty of space for a wedding!

Our beautiful couple wanted to capture the moment while incorporating the stunning Hawaiian scenery. These photos captured by Karma Hill Photography effortlessly showcase everything! In every picture, you can see how radiant everyone is and the beauty of Oahu. We know Bianca and Josh will always be able to relive their wedding day with these exquisite portraits!

Our Couple’s Story

This couple’s story began three years ago on a popular dating app. On May 23, 2019, Josh recommended they go to dinner at their favorite steakhouse! On the way to dinner, Bianca noticed songs they bonded over playing in the car. Before they got to the restaurant, Josh pulled over at the lake, walked her to the end of the pier, and asked her to marry him.

Currently, they have a two-year-old daughter named Scarlett and an Australian Shepard named Penny. Bianca works as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant while Josh is a Hospital Pharmacist.

When they’re not at home, you can find them at concerts, sporting events, and trying new restaurants. They’re huge fans of Boston sports, Mumford & Sons, and Kacey Musgraves! In the future, they can’t wait to take their daughter on adventures with them!

When they saw the endless amount of things to discover on the island, they knew they would have an Oahu beach wedding! We think they made the right decision because their ceremony is enchanting!

Congratulations Bianca and Josh! We’re happy we could make your dream wedding a reality. It was a great time getting to know you. We wish you a future full of discoveries and love!

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!

Before you can plan your wedding, first you need to find the ideal location. Stefany and David decided that a beach wedding in Oahu was the perfect place to tie the knot! Scroll down to experience their elegantly tranquil wedding for yourself.

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Stefany and David wanted a beautiful, quiet, and scenic wedding; that made Waimanalo Bay the perfect location for them. This East Oahu beach set a serene backdrop with its white sandy shores and clear ultramarine water. We love how the natural tones of the landscape complement the soft white hues of the bride and groom’s outfits!

Our Couple’s Story

David is originally from the Philadelphia area, and Stefany is from Long Island, New York. Seventeen years ago, David moved across the country to San Diego. Then ten years later, Stefany relocated to America’s Finest City as well. In 2015, the two met on a popular online dating site where sparks flew. On July 2, 2021, they got engaged at Ruth’s Chris Steak House! 

Now, they have an orange pet cat, Smoochy, who is their alpha and omega! To them, Smoochy represents all the good things in the world. We wish Smoochy was at your beach wedding in Oahu because we’re positive he would’ve been the cutest cat we’ve ever seen!

This sunset is magnificent because of the pastel rainbow painting the sky behind the silky clouds. Above all, one of our favorite things is how the muted colors enhance the striking scenery of the beach. Since the hues from the landscape are deep, they are more dramatic against the delicate sunset’s light shades.

It’s never easy to capture so many gorgeous elements but this photo, shot by Karma Hill Photography, does it effortlessly! They caught the love between our newlyweds and the beauty of Oahu exquisitely.

Congratulations, Stefany and David! We wish you both a marriage full of love, adventures, and fun memories! Lastly, Thank you for letting us be part of your special day.

For Randi and Carla, Hawaii is very near and dear to their hearts since Randi’s family lives on the island. So when it was time to plan their special day, there was no doubt in their mind they would have an Oahu beach wedding!

Last week, Sara and Dereck were wed with a beautiful Oahu beach wedding on the shore of Waimanalo. With loved ones cheering them on and the salty sprays of the ocean, this was a ceremony fit for any island dream!

The Oahu Beach Wedding

Wearing a traditional silhouette with a lace halter, Sara was radiant. We loved how Dereck brought his own modern twist to the beachside groom. And the fact that their little guys matched had us smiling from ear to ear! Keep scrolling for all the sweet moments!

Our Couple’s Story

We often have our brides share their stories, but today we’re excited to share the words of our groom! 

From our groom: “Sara and I used to hold hands while in class in middle school. We both graduated from the same middle school and high school together. We lived our own separate lives and almost a decade later ran into each other at a strawberry festival in Garden Grove California.”

“I think Sara’s mom Angela fell in love with me first and asked Sara who I was. I met her family, chatted for a little bit and we went our own ways. Shortly after, I attended a Quincenera my brothers were a part of and little did we all know Sara and her family were at this Quinceanera. We danced the night away and later that same evening went on our first date.”

“Sara jumped on the back of my motorcycle, her brother Sergio took a picture of us before we left and we had dinner at an elegant restaurant on Balboa Island. Sara loves fillet mignon, so on Angelo’s birthday Oct 26, 2019, I proposed to her at a beautiful restaurant known as the Orange hill restaurant in Orange County California while she was pregnant with Zeus. We are blessed with two handsome boys Angelo 7 and Zeus 1 1/2.” 

Congratulations, Sara and Dereck! Thank you for trusting us with your Oahu beach wedding! We wish you all the happiness in the future!

Teresa and Matthew’s wedding in Oahu was a lovely ceremony. Waimanalo was rustic and wild, which paired beautifully with our calm and serene couple. This was a ceremony filled with love and memories that will last a lifetime.

The Wedding in Oahu

Teresa and Matthew’s wedding was slightly overcast with a light sprinkling of rain. Often the effect resembled twinkling stars and left us in awe. Speaking of “in awe,” how sweet is that expression on Matthew’s face when he first sees Teresa walk in! These two are made for each other! Keep scrolling for more of the beautiful ceremony!

Our Couple’s Story

Teresa and Matthew met on an online dating site in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2019, they took a special trip to the Big Island. During an evening walk on the beach, Matt got down on his knee and asked Teresa to marry him! And of course, she said yes! Matt was so thrilled, he saved the sand on his knee from when he proposed–we are all about this sweet detail! The rest of their story is right here on our blog! 

Congratulations, Matthew and Teresa! We had a wonderful time coordinating your wedding. We wish you all the very best and plenty of love and happiness in your marriage. A hui hou!

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!
