I got a pleasant call from a high school friend when she told me she was getting married. I hadn’t seen Sorina for a good five years though we’ve known each other since we were in middle school. Besides being a guest, Rina asked if I’d photograph her wedding. Oh, and that there would be two ceremonies: an Asian ceremony and a Christian ceremony the following weekend. I was taken aback when I realized that the Asian Ceremony was going to kickoff the next day. No pressure, right?

With a bit of schedule rearranging, I was able to cover the Asian Ceremony the next day. The intricate preparation for the bride and her ladies, from the clothing to the jewelry–tiara, earrings, bracelets, etc–was beyond anything that I have ever seen. I walked away from the event realizing that though a wedding is a joining of two individuals, it was also about bringing families together.

Sorina and David, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding. It was a great way to end 2007 and start off 2008.

NOTE: I’m doing some final edits but will be posting some of the Christian ceremony photos soon. So, stay tuned for my next post…
