A blizzard and a wedding with Elaine and Brian!

And a Happy New Year to everyone!

We're going to start off 2010's first blog post with Elaine and Brian's awesome winter wedding. And let me tell you, it was REALLY a winter wedding! The conditions were cold, windy, blizzard, and undrivable in some places. But that was hardly a deterrent to Elaine and Brian's crew from celebrating a fantastic wedding!

And I'm glad, as I ABSOLUTELY LOVE shooting winter weddings! And I mean I REALLY love it!

In usual Chinese tradition, we started off at the bride's parents' house.



Getting the dress on!





Happiness abound!



Brian and the guys arrived, and had to pay, drink a nasty concoction, and sing a song to earn the right to get into the house.



Then they had to play the "pass the card with your lips" game, much to the laughter of everyone there!



Before the ceremony, we managed to get out for a few pics!



It was snowing and the wind was really strong!



Most people would shy away and stay indoors, but situations like this is when you can get something truly different than the usual wedding photos!



The ceremony was at Highlands United church.





Congratulations!



Then came the indoor shoot, which was booked at the Citadel.



Elaine looked fabulous!



The guys were goofy, as usual!



The girls were beautiful, as usual!



It was so dark in the atrium so it provided a different light to what is typical for the Citadel.



This cake had a water fountain in it! crazy!!



Wardrobe change!



And the Filipino money dance!



Followed by the first dance.





Elaine and Brian, your wedding was a fantastic way to cap off our 2009 wedding year! We were privileged to be a part of it, and SO lucky that you were willing to go outside despite the absolutely nasty weather!
Congratulations again, and have an awesome 2010!
