She is type of out-going girl while he is calm...
She is proactive while he is thoughtful...
She is assertive while he is supportive...
Yet they are a perfect match.
I am so honor to document their big day. It was an amazing wedding with a lot of love from family and friends. With all the beautiful costumes and decorative details, plus her bright-the-day smiles, Makara was a gorgeous bride. While she was so anxiously excited, he was doing what a guy would often do… just simply relaxed and enjoyed one of his most important moments in life. Patrick also made sure that he would be the most handsome groom on his wedding.
Since it was my first time to attend a Khmer wedding, I would want not miss any important parts of the event. So, I spent a good amount of time to prepare and plan for the shooting. Since their engagement session, Makara and I were often in touch with each other so I could learn from her how the wedding would take place. But sure enough, I was amazed by how many things could be involved for a traditional Khmer wedding.
Here are some of my favorites for the Khmer ceremony on day 1. More pictures from day 2 are coming soon in the nest post.
