Quy & John
I've photographed a few Vietnamese wedding ceremonies recently and one of my favorite parts of the day is the tea ceremony. The event is usually held at the bride's parent's home before the actual wedding ceremony, gathering together the couple's immediate family and friends. The couple serves small cups of tea to each relative and are given a red envelope in return. Afterwards, the family members and friends will speak about the couple and it often is a heartfelt moment that brings tears and emotional speeches. I always look at these wedding days as a story, and Quy and John's beautiful tea ceremony before their wedding served as a wonderful prelude to the fun, laughter-filled day that would follow.
