Vietnamese Buddhist Center and Kim Son Bellaire Houston Wedding Photography: Rachel + Lam

We have seen many types of weddings with countless different combination of cultures, religions, languages, and traditions. I have got to say that we have never seen anything quite like Rachel + Lam’s Wedding. Yea, we’ve seen tea ceremonies, Chinese, Vietnamese, Malaysian, you name it, but they had something else nobody had. They had the wedding ceremony at the temple at  Vietnamese Buddhist Center — it is super unique!! We picked out only the highlights for the blog. So after viewing them, you’ve got to check out the slideshow to see their entire day. I promise it’s going to be very different from what you’ve ever seen…well, on our blog anyway:)Enjoy!

Super cool lanterns leading the way!!

That’s a really tall cake! We don’t normally have to look up to take pictures of a cake. This one was different.

Beau Brotherton - I can’t believe I just found you guys. Y’all have an amazing style that captures these amazing moments, while still keeping the honesty of what the bride and groom’s special day is really like. And I can’t believe the COLOR!!! The ceremony colors are just so breath taking! WOW!!
