HAWAII DESTINATION WEDDING AT MOLI'I GARDENS | KUALOA RANCH | GRACE + LAWRENCE

What should have been an insanely stressful day for most couples turned out to be in Grace’s words incredible and crazy- loved every minute of it. Our email chain with Grace and Lawrence is literally over a year long full of Pinterest boards, FaceTimes, text messages, DM’s, etc. These two have been planning this shindig for a while. Literally 2 weeks before their wedding Grace’s family from South Korea couldn’t fly to Hawaii due to the Coronavirus pandemic which totally sucked! We met up with G + L for coffee the day they flew in from New York. That was the first time we got to hug them and meet up in person and it felt like we were instant BFF’s. We talked about life and how crazy the last three months have been. Fast forward to the day of their wedding- Oahu was under a flash flood advisory which led to a 3 hour road closure about 3 miles away from Kualoa Ranch. Their ceremony was supposed to start at 4p but it really started two hours later because everyone was late. The ceremony was also moved into the Dupree Cottage because of the rain. We literally had five minutes of couples portraits before their grand entrance and these two made the best of every single moment.

Never have we felt so much love and emotion in one freakin room!

We love you xoxo
