Daniel and I were hoping to get this post up earlier today, but we were having brunch with Molina and Bernie… The fact that we spent the last few days staring at their faces on our computer monitors and still wanted to go out with them speaks volumes about how much we like them! Oh and did I mention that we were at it for 19 hours on their wedding day? Yup, not even a 4:30 am wake-up call could make us dislike them!

Despite the early morning and the long, long day, we had an amazing time. There was so much visual stimulation, from their colorful Cambodian ceremony, to the games, lion dancers, and Cirque du Soleil performers at their reception – it was impossible for us to get bored or tired!

Molina and Bernie’s engagement session got such amazing feedback, we only hope their wedding photos are as successful!

There were so, so many photos to choose from, but here are our very favorites:

These two were really up for anything!

Molina and Bernie created all the paper details themselves and I was totally in love with them…

This poor guy lost one of the games so he had to drink a concoction that Bernie created at the bar. There was Tabasco and soy sauce involved…

Some photobooth silliness…

We joined in on the fun…

17hrs into the day, Molina & I finally took a nap on Mo’s dress… (it was comfy)
