Vietnamese Tea Ceremony

I was so honored to photograph this beautiful couple at their Vietnamese Tea Ceremony on the Friday before their elegant Saturday wedding.  Various family members and friends were asked to come before the engaged couple, have a cup of tea, and provide words of wisdom to assist the couple on their marriage journey. Hugs were had, tears of joy were shed, gifts were exchanged, and smiles and love filled the room! After the ceremony, a Vietnamese lunch was served – with coconut milk chicken, salads and soup. Yum! I just loved meeting this couple and joining them during such a lovely event as a photography assistant to the Thompson Photography Group. Here are a few of my favorite photographs I took at the Ceremony:
