Kea and Andrew's special day starts from the traditional Chinese tea ceremony. The Chinese tea wedding ceremony is a traditional ritual in Chinese weddings where the bride and groom serve tea to their parents, elders, and other important family members. This ceremony is a significant part of the wedding, symbolizing respect, gratitude, and the joining of both families. It holds great cultural and symbolic meaning in Chinese culture. Kea's modern tea ceremony is decorated with beautiful backdrop, joy pillows and tea pots. It is a bonding moments for both families and a demonstration of cultural continuity.
For the winter weddings, we highly recommend first look to all couples before the ceremony to capture some day lights before getting dark. Even though it was 27 degrees (with wind, feels like 14 degrees), our couple stepped out for a 5-minute mini photo session in the lawn and finish all group photos in front of the beautiful fireplace & glass conservatory at the Madison Hotel.
The wedding ceremony held at the Victorian-design Conservatory is so romantic to take our breath away. This soaring glass masterpiece, punctuated with white wood framing and elegant curves, is a memorable setting for an inspiring ceremony filled with lights during the day. One of our favorite shots is at the end of the aisle during the recession when the couple kissed while every guest was watching.
The night reception is upbeat and full of energy in the stylish and grand Glynallynn Ballroom. The Tall arched mirrors, gilded corner columns and sparkling crystal chandeliers create the perfect backdrop for a sophisticated plated dinner feast. We capture the perfect moments while Andrew dipped Kea at their first choreography dance, their excitement while they were being lifted up on the chair on the fance floor and their laughters while they tasted their beautiful wedding cake.
Congratulations to Kea and Andrew once again! Joe and I wish you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and endless happiness. As you embark on this incredible journey together, may every step be filled with joy and every moment be a reflection of the love you share.
