After a stressful week of last minute rearrangements and hiccups for Mei and Weng their wedding day took place with out a hitch. It was a delight to witness a couple very much in love and to capture their special day which was full of romance, emotion, and lots of fun.
We were introduced to the happy couple by our good friend Lauren whose wedding to Justin we photographed in 2004 and it was wonderful to see her family and extended family at the reception. The day started early with the groom Weng, arriving at Mei’s apartment to offer gifts for the brides hand and then we traveled back to his apartment for the family tea ceremony. After the tea ceremony we had a lovely lunch of sushi from the local sushi express which was great and from there we spent the afternoon photographing the Bridal portraits at various locations and then we traveled to the Westin Hotel for the western ceremony and reception. The ceremony was beautifully presented by our friend from the Summer Hill days Pauline Faulkner who also happened to officiate at our daughter Dillon’s naming over 11 years ago. In another coincidence, I had photographed the bridesmaid Catherine about 9 years ago as a teenager but she didn’t recognize me until her mother remarked that I was the photographer that day. I was pretty stoked when they told me how much they love those portraits and that they still hang proudly in their home today.
