Picture a breathtaking Big Island Venue Wedding: ocean air kissed with salt, vibrant tropical greenery all around, and a love story rooted in patience and persistence.

Some love stories take their time, and Lindsay and Mark’s Big Island venue wedding is the perfect proof that the best things are worth waiting for. They first met in high school, then life carried them in different directions for 25 years. After both walked through recent divorces, fate stepped in, and what started as a friendship quickly bloomed into something much deeper.
Now, they’ve found what they were missing all along, each other. Lindsay, a veterinarian for 16 years, and Mark, who works in supply chain management (and competes in USPSA shooting), share a love for golf, hunting, travel, and spending time with family. They even have a bucket list to play golf in all 50 states, Hawaii included. So when their big day arrived, we were beyond pleased to bring their dream wedding to life!
Toes In The Sand
A small, intimate wedding felt right for them, so they chose the Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island, a place where soft white sand, swaying palms, and the ocean’s edge created the perfect backdrop for their ceremony. That’s what’s so special about venues on the Big Island; you can have a sand in the toes experience with chairs on the beach for your guests. And to top it off, a stunning arch too! It’s really the best of both worlds…a beach and venue wedding in one! Surrounded by family and close friends, Lindsay and Mark promised forever in a setting that felt as relaxed and genuine as their love. It was picture-perfect at every angle…
And then came their newlywed portraits and dance! As the golden light spilled across the dance floor on the sand, we stole a few quiet moments just for the two of them. Mark looked every bit the proud, beaming groom, and Lindsay was radiant, her smile brighter than the Hawaiian sun. The way they laughed together, the way they held each other, it was the kind of joy you can’t pose, only capture. The setting couldn’t have been more romantic!
When the sun dipped further, they slipped away to the ocean, strolling by the water and the iconic Big Island lava rocks. The lava rocks, the sea, and the fading sunlight framed them perfectly, creating images that feel as timeless as their love story.
Congratulations, Lindsay and Mark! Your wedding was as incredible as your journey, and it was an honor to capture a day so full of love, laughter, and the beauty of second chances!

One Beautiful Forever – Brandon & Catherine’s Big Island Vow Renewal
Let’s start with the facts: fifteen years of marriage is a big deal. Like, standing ovation, extra slice of cake, hug-your-person-a-little-tighter kind of big. And for Brandon and Catherine, that milestone deserved more than just a nice dinner out. It called for something meaningful and a Big Island vow renewal. Something sun-soaked and heart-forward. Something,

Let’s be real—Matthew and Melissa’s Big Island venue wedding at the Royal Kona Resort? Absolute perfection. Picture this: golden sunset light, palm trees whispering sweet nothings, and two ridiculously adorable humans pledging forever.
The Groom’s Procession
Matthew strolled down that tropical aisle like he owned the place (which, let’s be honest, he kind of did). Arm-in-arm with his mother, rocking a blue suit that should be illegal? Yeah, Melissa never stood a chance.
The Bride’s Entrance: Cue the Collective Gasps
And then—oh, then—Melissa appeared. White gown. Bouquet of dreams. Dad on her arm. Matthew’s face? Priceless. If his smile got any wider, we’d have to call a dentist.
Ceremony Under the Gazebo
Beneath a breezy tropical gazebo (take that, boring chapels), these two said “I do” with the Pacific roaring its approval. The officiant’s Hawaiian attire? Absolutely perfect. Melissa’s smile? Outshining the Hawaiian sun – which, let’s be honest, couldn’t compete.
Dreamy Big Island Venue Wedding Backdrop
Big Island wedding venues don’t get more cinematic than this. Royal Kona Resort offered towering palms, a thatched gazebo, and front-row seats for the Pacific—a trifecta for destination wedding venues Big Island couples crave. (Take notes, Pinterest.)
Lei Exchange: “You Had Me at Aloha”
Matthew draped a white orchid flower lei over Melissa’s shoulders. She countered with a ti leaf lei for him. It was basically floral armor for their hearts. Cue the awwws.
Ring Exchange: Tiny Circles, Big Feels
Matthew slid that ring on Melissa’s finger like it was his life’s mission. Her smile? Soft. The ocean’s soundtrack hypnotically romantic.
The Kiss
Their lips met. Guests cheered. Somewhere, a palm tree sighed enviously. It was the kind of kiss that makes you believe in love. And in destination wedding magic.
Recessional: Walking Off Into the Sunset (Literally)
Hand in hand, they floated back down the aisle. Newlywed glow? Check. Ocean backdrop? Check. Guests blinking back happy tears? Absolutely!
Groomsmen Shenanigans: Because Boys Will Be Boys
The groomsmen hoisted Matthew like he’d just won the Super Bowl. His thumbs-up? Iconic. Their laughter? Contagious. The photographer’s shutter finger? Overworked.
Bridesmaids’ Moment: Champagne Dresses & Tropical Vibes
Melissa and her squad laughed on the lawn, champagne dresses glowing, bouquets popping. It was part fashion shoot, part lovefest—100% frame-worthy.
The Bride: Melissa Made Us All Believe in Fairytales Again
Melissa stood on the perfectly manicured lawn at the Royal Kona Resort, looking like she’d casually stepped out of a bridal magazine. Her gown? Effortlessly romantic, like the dress version of a Taylor Swift love song. She held a bouquet of crisp white blooms—simple, elegant, and very “I woke up like this.”
A Kiss Worth Melting For
Melissa and Matthew stood in their sunlit ceremony space, the ocean shimmering gently behind them. Beside the thatched altar, still echoing their vows, they shared the sweetest kiss. It was tender, unhurried—like the world had given them this moment to just be. Surrounded by swaying palms and the soft rustle of the breeze, they looked completely at home in love.
Why Their Big Island Venue Wedding Was Pure Magic
They walked hand in hand, like two people who just found out their favorite person felt the exact same way. Melissa’s dress flowed like a love song, and Matthew looked at her like she’d hung the moon. Everything about this moment screamed forever—and maybe a little bit of “how did we get this lucky?”
Matthew and Melissa, thank you for choosing Simple Hawaii Wedding to bring your Big Island wedding at the Royal Kona Resort to life. From your heartfelt vows under the gazebo to that sweet lei exchange, every moment was full of meaning. We’re so grateful to have been part of such a beautiful beginning—mahalo and cheers to what’s next!

“We are so happy with the level of service and detail the SHW team provided us! We really didn’t know the direction we were going to take, but once we inquired we knew we’d found the right team. The communication was amazing and all of the good tips really helped make everything go smoothly. Thank you!”
“Our ceremony was very special. Kahu Tom reached out to us shortly after we arrived to the island and then called us the morning of our ceremony. Kahu made our ceremony a moment in our life we will never forget. We are forever grateful. Kalinda, our on-site coordinator was amazing! She kept everything in order and pristine. She even gave us more of her time by keeping an eye on our personal belongings, as we strolled the beach while our pictures were being taken. Mahalo, Kalinda! We cannot thank the SHW team enough, especially John. John’s level of communication was top notch and his persistence in getting answers to our transportation service questions were very much appreciated. Great communication leads to great outcomes! ”
