John & Phung @ Dragon Phoenix Palace

Well, this might be one of my longest post ever!  This past Saturday I shot John and Phung's wedding.  This wedding was such a delight to shoot.  John and Phung had a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony at Phung's house where John and his family marched down the street to meet her family at their house.  They greeted John with Tea and love.  Next John and Phung serve both sides of the family tea and have a ceremony performed by family members.  It was such a beautiful thing to be a part of.  Well, this day was also my Birthday and John and Phung surprised me by having the whole bridal party sing to me and they gave me an amazing cake and a sweet orange tie!  I seriously have the best clients ever!  Then we went to the church to have a traditional catholic ceremony.  After that we headed to the Dragon Phoenix for the huge party of about 350 people.  This day was so much fun and the longest wedding I have shot to date.  A total of 15 and half hours.  Recovery was much needed Sunday and Monday.  Congrats to you both and thank you so much for making my birthday amazing!
