Hai and Thao had a wonderful wedding this past weekend! It was filled with so much love and family! They had a 2 day wedding in San Diego, CA. The first day was a traditional Vietnamese wedding and the second day was a traditional American style wedding. Both were so beautiful and a lot of fun to be a part of. I met Thao and Hai several months ago through a mutual friend. Since then, I have shot their engagement party and their engagement photos. I have gotten the opportunity to get to know them over this short period of time and all I can say is that they are such a kind and fun-loving couple. They truly love their family and friends and each other. I am so happy for the both of them and I can’t wait for what the future holds for these two. I know in my heart that they will be truly happy for a lifetime because they have such a strong foundation. They are an amazing couple to say the least and I am so blessed and thankful for the opportunity to be a part of their special day.
Because it was a 2 day wedding, I have decided to split up the 2 days into 2 different blog postings. Here are a few of my favorite images from the first day that show off such a rich cultural ceremony. The entire day was filled with lots of tradition and family love. I’ll be posting day 2 in the next few days! Enjoy!
