Weddings are filled with a ton of happy things, but I definitely have a favorite. For me, the best thing about a wedding is that all of your family and friends are in the same place at the same time. How often does that happen? In today’s world, it’s rarer than yellow diamonds. Mina and Kelvin’s wedding at the Pacific Edge Hotel in Laguna Beach really hit this home for me. Aside from being two of the nicest people you could ever meet, they are two of the busiest people you could ever meet. Whether they are working, traveling around the globe, or just living life, they are always on the go. Just slowing down long enough to have a wedding was a feat, but they nailed it. It was an amazingly simple, elegant, and fun-filled day spent with their ohana. I’m not talking about just the families they were born into. Friends that formed their “family-away-from-family”, in the many places they had been in life, were also there. One of the first things Kelvin said to me on the morning of his wedding was “Everyone here is family.” He wasn’t kidding. If you went around that room you could hear the stories, and re-live almost all the moments, that brought Kelvin and Mina to this day. It was pretty awesome. If you were there, I hope you walked around and talked with everyone. It was almost like taking a trip around the world… in a time machine. :) If you weren’t able to be in this same place at the same time I hope these images help you feel like you were. Please know that you were missed.
Mina and Kelvin, thank you so much for sharing your wedding, and your beautiful ohana, with us. Now that you are married, I hope you get to slow down a little and see each other every day. Wherever life takes you, we wish you many many happy memories together. Cheers!
