When Emily first contacted us she was in a major panic; her friend who was originally doing her wedding photography had just bailed out on her. I am glad Emily found us, because I believe right away she knew she had one less thing to worry about for the wedding. After we met up to talk about all the details, the rest was history.

Emily and Miguel’s “little” dog was guarding Miguel while he ties his shoes. Isn’t he adorable?

The top button on Miguel’s shirt fell off while he was about to put it on. None of the guys knew how to sew and I had to take control of the situation So that day I was the photographer + button sewer + windsor knot specialist!

Getting ready with great view at the bridal suite at Hotel Derek. Nice!

Emily’s lovely bridal gown

Take a guess why Emily wore this cute pair of shoes with no heels

Always a great moment: Mom putting the veil.

Somehow the veil wouldn’t go in so I became the veil fixer! HAHA

Emily and her dad arriving at the gorgeous All Saints Catholic Church. It was a beautiful day!

Rolls-Royce parked in front of All Saints Church. This reminds me of a scene in the movies!

This was just right before Emily walks down the aisle. What a moment!!

Beautiful All Saints Catholic Church! Love this place.

Happy newlyweds! Emily had the happy tears going!!

A few quick portraits after the ceremony before Emily and Miguel head to the Hotel Derek for their wedding reception.

One of my favorites from the day!

Elegant wedding cake. The different details on each layer is amazing!

As with all the weddings, we are very glad to be part of their special day to capture all the great time Quyen and Randy had with their friends and family. We started out at the awesome Hotel Derek documenting all the little things brides go through while getting ready. There was a little bit of time before the ceremony, so we managed to shoot a quick bridal portrait session in the hotel lobby. Afterwards, they went to the church to “get married”, followed by a crazy fun party at Kim Son on Bellaire! They had quite a wedding day and we have the pictures to prove it.

Even though they’ve been married for 10 years, you can see Quyen is still very nervous about walking down the aisle.

I think the guests were supposed to write well wishes for the bride and groom, not for themselves!! HAHAA!

Cool Chinese lantern balls and purple lighting all over the reception.

Crazy fun party. Look at the bride and groom challenging each other!

Yea! That’s how you do a champagne toast!!

One of the big perks of shooting Chinese and Vietnamese weddings is the food!! We get to eat all the goodies like fried rice, lobster, seafood in a birds nest made with fried taro, shrimp salad, and etc. Man…I am getting so hungry just talking about it.

The lovely first dance

Quyen and her son doing a very special mother-son dance.

Randy’s mother-son dance.

HAHA…look at the guys in the back while Randy tries to get the garter with only his teeth!

Thanks Quyen and Randy! Let’s do this again in 10 years

What a moment with dad.

Just before Liz and Greg leave for the reception at the Magnolia Hotel, they showed us their “new” wedding ring with excitement!

Aren’t these centerpieces gorgeous? They are such fun colors!

Lovely first dance
