Winnie + Thomas | Wedding | Part I

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of shooting the engagement session for both Thomas and Winnie. I remember the fun and excitement that they both had together and also with us. Needless to say, I knew that their wedding day was going to be exciting! The day started early with the preparation for Winnie and her bridesmaids at their house. Everyone was chatting and making sure that everything was prepped. While Winnie was getting her hair and makeup done, I went to the backyard and took some photos of her dress. Although it was simple in design, it was truly elegant and beautiful.

Shortly after, Thomas and the groomsmen made it up to the house to start the door games. I saw that my second photographer Alfred was with them. He was hanging out with Thomas and his groomsmen for most of the morning. The bridesmaids had a series of questions for Thomas to answer and unfortunately he answered all of them wrong which meant a lot of wasabi and fruit for them! One of the most hilarious parts was when the guys were led to the back and had to perform a choreographed dance routine for the girls. I don’t know what the guys were doing before they got to the house but their coordination was off! The girls too pity on them and soon Winnie came outside which caught Thomas by surprise since he hadn’t seen her all morning. They looked so happy and the entourage let them have a quiet moment together before coming inside for the tea ceremony. Thomas and Winnie performed the tea ceremony great with Winnie’s mom and brother. Then we all got into the limo and headed off to Stanford.

Even though it was gloomy in Millbrae, the sun was out in Stanford! There were lots of tourists milling about but we were able to get some great photographs of the whole bridal party as well as just Thomas and Winnie. The girls were having a great time with me getting some shots in and enjoying the sun. Alfred took the guys off to the side and did some great pictures with them too. I really loved the architecture of Stanford’s halls with the beautiful arches and stone. They made a great decision to head over there for the pre-ceremony pictures.

Stay tuned for part II…….
