Wedding at Kualoa Ranch | Pip + Collin
Pip and Collin are the definition of adventurers! When they first crossed paths, they had to wait six weeks for their first date. They were both working on yachts at the time, and their boats kept missing each other when moving ports. Finally after talking for six weeks straight, Collin took a nine hour bus ride to take her out and they hit it off!
They loved the idea of a wedding at Kualoa Ranch because it was a great meeting point for their families as Collin is from America and Pip is from New Zealand. They also loved the dock at Moli’i Gardens because they first met on a dock! It’s a beautiful location and one of my favorites for a first look. It made it even more special since they have a sentimental tie to docks and the ocean. The day was fun, tropical and really focused on fun with family and friends.
Take a look at this super sweet review from Pip!
“I cannot recommend Chelsea enough! From the beginning of starting to plan our Oahu wedding from New Zealand Chelsea was a STAR! She made everything very simple and easy and was helpful and informative. On the day her bubbly personality was great. Within DAYS of the wedding we already had a sneak peaks from the day which are all STUNNING! I am super excited to see the rest as I know they will have captured perfectly the emotion and vibe of the day.”
