Hillsborough Racquet Club Wedding of Pham and Albert
We kicked off 2010 with Pham and Albert’s beautiful wedding that is full of traditions as well as fun. Much to the expense of the fellas who had to drink a concoction of Wasabi water, do push ups in the street and attempt to hula with the hula hoop. Much to the amusement of the ladies watching from above. But it was the lucky red envelope with cold hard cash that always helps to loosen the locks on the door.
Such intricate details in the traditional Chinese Qi Pao.

Each wedding culture has their own tradition that we love documenting. The donning of the green leaf is a first for me and I never got a chance to ask what it symbolizes. If anyone knows, I would love to hear.

We took advantage of the hotel lobby to recreated some old style Shanghai nights portraits. Isn’t Pham just fabulous in her Qi Pao?

From traditional Chinese to the traditional American wedding gown.

What do you get a Apple fan that he does not already have? Well, the iPad is not released yet…so these appropriately themed cuff link will have to do.

Some quick portraits of Albert before the first look of Pham in her wedding dress.

We are always on a look out for the wedding theme colors to bring a cohesiveness to the final album. The magenta and bluish green wedding color was a compromise between the couple and their parent.

I just love the movement, detail and lighting in this photo.

Pham was just beaming and radiant in her wedding gown.

Apparently the grand entrance raised the roof. Check out the reaction of the little boy in the following photo.

There were quite a few heartfelt toast.

We love the following cake sharing sequence.

Strangely, Albert seems to love it just as much.

Getting your face smooch with cake is not always a bad thing.

The photobooth is always a fun place to be and where the craziness happens.

Pham and Albert – Your wedding contained so many great moments. Some of which I am sure Pham will only vaguely remember through these photos no thanks to a certain friend. ;) Don’t worry, good fun, good times and the moments that made your wedding uniquely yours were captured. We can’t wait to share the entire gallery for you to view tomorrow, hopefully via Albert’s new iPad. (We tested the client access site, and it’s compatible).
