We were thrilled to be part of Erin and Kyle’s Oahu destination wedding! Their sunset affair was dreamy, tranquil, and simple. Kualoa Beach Park set the scene for this event! Our charming couple had ten of their loved ones attending their celebration — making it the definition of intimate. Keep scrolling to experience this occasion for yourself.

Erin and Kyle decided to have an Oahu destination wedding because they wanted to get away when they tied the knot! We think Hawaii is the perfect place to celebrate your love. Then our delightful duo told us they wanted to have a relaxed and simple ceremony.

Why We Love Their Oahu Destination Wedding

Before the ceremony, Erin and Kyle said they wanted the mountains to be the background for their ceremony! We couldn’t agree more with them. The dramatic landscapes, East Oahu clouds, and the sun’s vibrant rays created a dreamy ambiance for this sunset occasion. In addition, we adore seeing our radiant newlywed’s pure bliss! Megan from Karma Hill Photography captured their romantic wedding portraits, and this affectionate pair was smiling joyfully in every picture. You can tell Erin and Kyle were elated to be a married couple!

Our Couple’s Story

Erin and Kyle were visiting the island from Lexington, Kentucky! Their story began when they met while working on a horse farm. On their first date, they saw a horse named Gun Runner win a big race. Then when Kyle was ready to propose, he popped the question in the front row of the now-retired Gun Runner! Currently, our beautiful duo both work at different horse farms. Erin is an accountant at one, while Kyle is a Stallion Manager at another. Our passionate pair enjoys thoroughbred racing and adore swooning over their two dogs!

Congratulations, Erin and Kyle! Thank you for sharing your special day with us. We wish you a future full of love, happiness, and abundance!

Our Couple’s Story

Our delightful duo met over a decade ago while in high school — they instantly became best friends! Their connection has survived long-distance dating while they both attended college. The rest is history for Claudia and Xavier!

One day, Xavier planned a private sailing trip for him and Claudia. Xavier wanted to pop the question on the boat with Santa Barbara’s coast in the background. Unfortunately, there was a last-minute change of plans. Xavier instead proposed to Claudia while they were doing their favorite things! Our beautiful couple was at home, listening to music and talking to one another with a bottle of wine.

Their Favorite Part Of Their Beach Wedding in Oahu

George and Amanda’s favorite part of their special day was experiencing a traditional Hawaiian ceremony! Kahu Kawena Mechler was the officiant for this event, and she delivered a spiritual sermon. Our gorgeous couple adored how cultural and intimate their sunset occasion was — it was everything they hoped to have!

Our Couple’s Story

This beautiful couple first met at a going-away party in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Since George and Amanda had mutual friends, they instantly had a connection! Then three years later, they both lived in Los Angeles and met up for dinner one night. This evening was when they spilled their feeling for one another! After three months of their growing puppy love, George’s job transferred him back to Seattle. Finally, after a few trips to Washington, Amanda moved to the Pacific Northwest. From there, they’ve been inseparable since!

This trip is George and Amanda’s first time in Hawaii! In addition to having an Oahu beach wedding, they also did the Diamond Head hike. Not to mention, they took advantage of the delicious food and drinks available on the island!

Congratulations, George and Amanda! We’re glad you loved your wedding so much you want to have another one next year. We hope to see you again in Hawaii one day!

All it took was one trip to Hawaii for Erin and Erich to know they wanted to have an Oahu vow renewal! Our lovely couple exchanged rings on the shores of Papa’iloa Beach as the sun began to set above them. It was a truly magical ceremony to witness! Continue scrolling to experience this event for yourself.

Erin and Erich wanted their renewal to be simple, personal, and about their beautiful family. Our passionate couple’s ceremony was perfect for them! With only their ten-year-old son in attendance, this event was the definition of intimate! Ellsworth Simeona was the officiant, and he delivered a heartfelt sermon. Then Rodney Bejer played to the mood on his ukulele during the dances. Our gorgeous bride danced with her son first, then her handsome groom second!

The Romantic Oahu Vow Renewal

Papa’iloa Beach created a dreamy scene for this renewal! Ivory sand, striking lava rocks, and foamy sapphire waves decorated the background beautifully. Surrounding this North Shore spot are breathtaking landscapes; the stunning mountains and rich greenery make sensational backdrops! Our charming couple couldn’t have asked for better weather! There was light cloud coverage in the sky, and the sunset was vibrant.

Our Couple’s Story

Erin and Erich first met at work in 2007, but they didn’t instantly hit it off. It wasn’t until a business trip later the same year when they fell for each other. In 2009, they got married for the first time. Currently, Erin and Erich are IT engineers. Our delightful couple is involved in their local fitness industry. They teach different workout classes and plan to open a studio in 2022! Most importantly, they have a ten-year-son who is an absolute riot!

Our elegant couple decided to have an Oahu vow renewal because their wedding was not about them. Although it was a fun night, it was about what everyone else wanted. They wanted to make this sunset event about Erin, Erich, and their sweet boy! 

Congratulations, Erin and Erich! Thank you for letting us be part of your intimate vow renewal. We wish you all the best with your fitness studio and hope your future is full of loving memories!

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!

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!
