Trung and Stephanie Wedding
So last week I shot my third wedding of July when I photographed Trung and Stephanie’s wedding. The ceremony was being held at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Modesto which was right across the street from a junior college. I knew we were going to be short on time when it came to taking portraits because Stephanie wanted a lot of family portraits and she was changing dresses from a traditional white to a Vietnamese dress midway through the portrait session. So it was highly important to scout the area first since I didn’t know how much time we’d have to get location shots done. Luckily we had about fifteen minutes before they needed to take off to the reception area so I was able to get a few unique shots in before we hit the road. My favorite shot ended up being a shot of Trung kicking his feet up in the air… His posture made the shot look great. I also got a good shot of the two of them laughing against the same wall from a different angle that I thought came out pretty nice. Once we made it over to the reception it was time for the introductions. Once those were finished the speeches began and I must say… To me that was the highlight of the night. I’ve never been to a wedding where so many friends and family members spoke on behalf of the bride and groom… And it was easy to see that while Trung and Stephanie have two different types of families, both come from great backgrounds and upbringings. Overall it was a fun night and I’m sure Trung and Stephanie will have a great future together.
Love this set, too. The second and the last but one photographs are just brilliant!
