Alana + Anthony
If you've seen Alana and Anthony's bridal/engagement photos, then you'll remember this lovely couple. Their wedding was a true "East Meets West" with Chinese traditions, as well as Western ones.
The weather that day couldn't be more beautiful. I first met up with Alana early in the morning while she was getting ready. Kelly Zhang did a wonderful job with the makeup!
Who doesn't heart a pair of Manolo Blahnik?

Mother of the bride. She happened to stand next to the mirror, which created a nice background, so I quickly took a shot.
Being a Chinese myself, this is actually the first time witnessing a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony. There were games to challenge the groom and his party in order for him to pick up the bride, then there was tea ceremony.
After much fun, we headed to Holy Name of Mary Church in San Dimas for their Catholic ceremony.
Husband and Wife!
The ring pillow is beautiful!
The reception was held at a Chinese restaurant, but Alana decided to create a Western atmosphere. I think she did an amazing job and she has potential to be a wedding planner!
Alana and Anthony, thank you for having me be part of your very special day! And I am so fortunate to have gained two wonderful friends!
