This Kauai destination wedding is the ultimate expression of the bride and groom’s adventurous spirits! Photographer Chris Simons captured Ale and Cern on the island of Kauai for their “adventure wedding day” complete with a helicopter ride and kayaking in their wedding attire. The bride Ale, originally from Brazil, met New Zealander Cern exactly one year before their wedding day. They both share a love for the great outdoors: Cern is a world traveler, mountaineer, cyclist and runner. Photographer Chris Simons says, “For their wedding, instead of trying to get everyone from Brazil and New Zealand together, they wanted to get married in a way that represented them. They talked to me about touring the island on their wedding day in helicopters and kayaking (all while dressed up) and I was immediately on board!” The bride worked with the wedding planners at Maui’d Forever to map out the ideal route for the day. The couple began their day at Mahaulepu Beach in the morning before heading to Port Allen where chartered helicopters to see the entire island. They drove to the North Shore for a kayaking adventure and ended up at  Ke’e Beach for champagne at sunset. Sounds incredible! Thanks for sharing with us, Chris!
