If you’re dreaming of a heartfelt vow renewal in Hawaii, this recent session at Sandy Beach on Oahu will inspire you. As a wedding photographer based here in Hawaii, I get to witness so many unique love stories, but this one was truly special—a quiet, intimate vow renewal with a beautiful Austrian family and their two incredibly well-behaved little ones.
A Calm Morning on the East Side of Oahu
We met early in the morning at Sandy Beach, one of my favorite locations on Oahu. The light was soft and dreamy, the ocean calm, and the energy incredibly peaceful—perfect for a moment as meaningful as this. Morning sessions at Sandy’s are always a treat: fewer crowds, cooler temperatures, and the softest tones that feel like a warm hug in every photo.






Family Moments That Melted My Heart
This vow renewal wasn’t just about the couple—it was a celebration of their journey as a family. Their two kids were little angels the entire time! They watched their parents renew their vows with big, curious eyes and even joined in a few sweet moments. Capturing these kinds of authentic connections is why I love what I do. These are the memories that will live in albums and hearts for generations.
Expertly Coordinated by Nanny Weddings
The entire experience was beautifully planned and coordinated by Nanny Weddings, who specializes in vow renewals and elopements across Europe and Hawaii. She brought her signature warmth and attention to detail to every part of the planning. Her focus is often on European couples, especially from Austria, Germany, and surrounding areas, and you can feel how much heart she pours into making each moment unforgettable.
Working alongside her is always a joy—she makes things run smoothly and knows how to create a truly personalized experience for couples traveling from afar.






Why Vow Renewals in Hawaii Are So Special
There’s something deeply powerful about renewing vows in a place as naturally stunning as Oahu. Whether it’s your 5-year anniversary, 10-year milestone, or just because you want to slow down and reconnect, Hawaii is the perfect backdrop for your story.
And if you’re bringing the kids? Yes, yes, yes. Family-focused vow renewals are incredibly moving, and it’s a beautiful way to involve your children in a meaningful moment of your love story.
