Day 2 of Sharon + Chi: Married! (Yank Sing, San Francisco)

The second day of Sharon and Chi's wedding was another action-packed day. Chi and his best men team, with no exception, had to go through the tests and challenges set forth by Sharon's bridesmaid team. I had been in many of these traditional Chinese weddings, and this part where the groom needs to face the challenges set by the bridesmaids to get the bride never fails to entertain me with their creativity. The tea ceremony following was another emotional time. The tears and the joy filled the room entirely.

It was great to work with my partner, Dilip Lama, who was especially of great help while I had to step aside to process the morning images for the slideshow, which was played at the reception. I was so happy that the slideshow was well received.

Here is the slideshow.

Melody + Joseph: Married! (Garden Court Hotel, Palo Alto)

I've known Melody and her mom, Mrs. Deng, for a number of years. Mrs. Deng has been my son's teacher at his Chinese school ever since he started learning Chinese at 5, and we've always been very appreciative of her loving care and patient teaching for our son, while Melody has been her associate and partner. So when Mrs. Deng asked me to be Melody's wedding photographer, I felt so honored and happy, and I have been eagerly waiting for her big day.
 
Melody's organization power to pull together the wedding in a rather short timeframe totally amazed me, as any couple (including myself) having gone through this process knew how much minute details there could be. And everything came out so nice and smooth! And the couple looked totally gorgeous, shining with happiness on this big day.

I sincerely wish Melody and Joseph a very happy marriage, and looking forward to their celebrations in their home countries soon!
