What Vietnamese wedding preparations would it be without pastries from Lee's Sandwiches


Some bride and flower girl bonding while getting their hair done. Jaime and Amber were entertaining each other by playing the stare game.. of course Amber would win. They were absolutely adorable.


Her dress was so beautiful.. and heavy. I don't know how Jaime carried that the whole day. Kudos to you girl!






Blushing Bride =)


A first for me.. Yes, one Bride's Best Man (who did an awesome job!), Maitron of Honor and 2 Bridesmaids (who all did a wonderful job too).








You can never forget the groom's side. They always have something up when they're getting ready. My 2nd photographer for the day Joan, ES-Sense Photography, captured the next few shots. When I was processing the photos to put on the blog, I couldn't stop cracking up at these prep photos. Joan tells me that it was Napoleon and his brothers idea. Facial care is important to men too you know. They can totally do a Noxema commercial and sell it.. heehee


Apparently, the groom getting ready is like surgery? or having a baby?.. Fix the tie! Put on the cufflings! Wipe the sweat! Hahaha






After all that, the groom is spiffed up and ready to go.


This is also a first for me. One Groom's Maid of Honor and 2 groomsmen. Different, but very cool and interesting.


The church was beautiful! The regulations on where not to shoot was not so pretty.


My favorite part of the wedding was always when the bride walks down the aisle. After Paolo and I got married, it became seeing the groom at the alter. The nervous, tearful, full of happiness look from a groom is just priceless.






The new Mr. & Mrs.








Cuteness and Sweetness.. awww


Oh, the cake was just delish and so was the chocolate fountain, with the strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels and rice crispies to dip the chocolate with.. so yummy =P


Their first dance to Frank Sanatra's "Cheek to Cheek" was fantabulous. The choreography was wonderfully entertaining.




This is what happens when the kids hang out a little too long at the chocolate fountain station. Sugar Mania!





All smooches from the bride! Awww, I'm feeling the love.
