A Coastal Love Story at La Venta Inn

What began as shared glances at the gym evolved into a lifetime of partnership, sparked by a marathon first date in Pasadena. Eight years later, Tyler proposed amidst the moving boxes of their new home, setting the stage for a wedding defined by deep intentionality. Hosted at La Venta Inn and captured by photographer Kami Arant, the celebration embraced the fresh energy of spring with a palette of blues and greens. Kindred Weddings and Events helped the couple bring their vision to life, prioritizing meaningful connection through handwritten letters and a personalized "Guess Who" game for their guests. By choosing a communal dinner table over a traditional sweetheart setup, Marlaina and Tyler spent the evening immersed in the love of their community, overlooking the Pacific coast.
