Being a mom myself, I can only imagine what an emotional experience it will be to see my daughters in their wedding dresses.

The tea ceremony is a tradition where the couple serves their elders with tea in exchange for gifts.

After the Tea Ceremony, it was time to party.

The venue, Twenty 21 (for some reason their website is down) was awesome, romantic ambiance, great food.

The centerpieces included…goldfish!

 It was really difficult to pull these two away from the dance floor, but I managed to snag 7 minutes.

By far the best cake smashing I had ever seen.

    Laura, I was lucky enough to be a member of Fay & David’s bridal party, and I must say you did an exceptional job capturing every blessed moment of that day. You know you have talent when you can capture emotion and the spirit of the event through photos. It’s great to be able to relive that special day, whenever I want, just by watching the slide show. When my wedding day comes, I hope you’re available to be my photographer!ReplyCancel
