My ex-student approached me a week before the actual date to photograph his cousin’s wedding. I met the couples on the actual day of wedding, a less than ideal situation as I felt awkward when approaching the bride for the first time.
1. Arrived early and waited for the make-up artist to put on the final touches.
2. Meanwhile, another make-up artist prepared the flower-girl.
3.
4. Arrival of the groom and his party.
5. Obstructed by the in-laws.
6.
7.
8. I particularly like this part onwards.
This room has wide windows with plenty of directional lights, thus creating a sunny bright environment.
9.
10. A spontaneous pose by the couple, probably an experience from their studio shots.
I’m not complaining, in fact it worked very well and natural. 
11.
12. Laughter during tea ceremony. A large ang pow helps too. 
13. Making an entrance. The bride was too concern about her long flowy evening gown, fearing she may miss her steps.
A peculiar tradition (perhaps it was the restaurant’s suggestion) that I noted was that the bride’s parents were following closely behind the couple. Usually, both parents would be seated at the main dining table.
14. Joy with each toast.

The next morning, it was just a simple tea ceremony. The couple had earlier held a church wedding in Puchong, and as such the tea ceremony was a formality to fulfill Chinese wedding traditions.
However, I’m sharing only a snippet of the photo collection as the majority of them were of the documentary type and personal to the couple.
1. From yesterday’s cupcake tower.
2. The bride with her bridesmaids.
3.
4. After the tea ceremony had ended, we continued with some personal shots.
Time to be creative and apply what I learnt from a wedding workshop that I had previously attended.

A wedding that I shot back in November 2008.
It was a simple event but quite steep in Hakka traditions, as the bride hails this clan.

The tea ceremony was held a few days after the dinner banquet.
I was tasked to cover the groom’s side in the morning, and to retake the shot of the wedding ring.
1. Macro shot of the wedding ring. Luckily, the 105mm VR is always in my bag.
But it took me sometime to balance the diamond ring on the table.
2. In high spirit to fetch the bride.

5. The team of bestmen.
