From Wendy Laurel...Maybe its a trend but many of my wedding couples this year have been together for a long time before marrying. But this couple has the best and longest love story. They met in middle school and have been together since then (through high school, through college). Something about that just makes me melt. And they were surrounded by their best friends and family all of whom have known them forever. It doesn't get much better than that.

And then they planned a stunner of a destination wedding all by themselves. They included fun tropical touches such as the banana leaves and the handmade surfboard shaped table numbers made by the groom. Kelsey looked amazing in her backless Katie May wedding gown with her brightly colored tropical bouquet. They choose a ceremony and reception spot right on the beach in beautiful Wailea to make full use of the sky, sand, and ocean in their images.
