Trying to find the best places to elope in Hawaii? I’ve got you covered!
I FINALLY visited the beautiful island of Oahu for the first time in January, and it was life-changing. The island has some of the most gorgeous places you could ask for if you’re getting married. I wanted to share my favorite spots that we shot at on our trip that would be BEAUTIFUL if you’re looking to elope on the island, plus one extra location that holds the most beautiful weddings!

First up, we have Ho’omaluhia Botanical Gardens! This 400-acre garden is one of the most beautiful places I have EVER visited. We only walked through one tiny section of it for the session we were shooting, but there is more greenery than you can imagine.

You get the lush green mountains of Oahu and might be lucky enough to get clouds and fog coming over them (if that’s the mood you’re going for!) like we did! It’s the perfect location if you’re wanting somewhere quiet, simple, peaceful, and absolutely stunning for your special day!

Similar to Mākua Beach, Kahana Bay is yet another beach with stunning views of Oahu’s mountains, and also provides spots with green trees, bushes, and beautiful sand. Our sunrise shoot at the bay gave us the most stunning, soft light coming over the mountains, and the water was a perfect temperature to have our couple go swimming in!
End your elopement day with a swim or a trash-the-dress session in the blue waters, and have a picnic on the beach or in the areas of green trees!

If you’re somebody who looooves some good clouds & moodiness like me, and don’t want a ton of sunshine during your elopement, hit up a beach in Waimanalo, on the southern part of Oahu!
It’s on the opposite side of the mountains as Kahana Bay, and is more likely to give you less bright sunlight & some more clouds at sunset. While shooting at a beach in Waimanalo, we got a stunning view of Oahu’s mountains, blue waters, and a cotton candy sky as the sun went down!

Finally,Kualoa Ranch is of the most beautiful places on the island that I’ve ever seen weddings/elopements take place at! A lot of the filming for Jurassic Park took place at this ranch, making it one of the coolest places on the island for your big day. The ranch offers all kinds of wedding packages at different locations on the ranch, and is a place you NEED TO look into if you’re getting married on Oahu!
