Mimi + Ron
August 22, 2011
Rings were designed by Mimi’s jeweller father. (Clara and I call him Uncle Ming!)
The bouquet’s and flowers were all done by Ele, Mimi’s brother’s girlfriend. She’s not a florist, but she youtubed and borrowed books from the library and in the end she did a super professional job.
Mimi’s dress was made out of raw silk. Perfect for such a hot day!
The bridal party toughed it out at Fish Creek Park, high noon! Bridesmaids dresses were also made of raw silk, and check out the kissing ball, also put together by the fabulous Ele!
The super macho boys. We had to tone down the testosterone just a wee bit, hahhaha…
Mimi looked over at the kids and told us to take their photo straight away because it was so cute.
Mimi’s gorgeous profile.
We were able to take some photos in Mimi’s parent’s backyard later on the day, sans mosquitoes.
We had 10 minutes before we had to head out to the ceremony so Clara and I were so glad we were able to snag a bit of their time for some portraits – you guys look so good! (And i dig the lighting!)
Chinese part of the wedding came first, the tea ceremony…
And the “Western” part of the ceremony came after at Heritage Park.
Complete with waters personalized with Mimi + Ron labels!
Gasoline Alley was where the reception took place. A really cool venue, buffet meal and dessert, it was really yummy!
Congratulations Mimi and Ron! You guys had such a beautiful day filled with so many people you love, with your HUGE family and all your friends. Thanks for giving us the honor of photographing your special day.
