Panle & John: Traditional Wedding with a Chinese Flair

Wow! What a classy couple. Thanks to Boston wedding photographer Heather Parker for these wonderful photos of Panle & John's wedding. We're in love with her gorgeous vintage gown and classic string of pearls. And in the evening, she takes an exciting Chinese twist on things, by donning a beautiful red Chinese dress and incorporating eye-catching red accents throughout the decor.

I was selected by John and Panle as their wedding photographer for their wedding. Panle got ready at the Meridien, and wore a very classic, vintage wedding dress previously worn by her mother in law. The wedding ceremony was at the Ruggles Baptist Church and was translated in both English and Mandarin Chinese. After the wedding I hopped in the back seat (if you’d even call it that!) of a red Mini Cooper convertible John and Panle had rented from Zipcar for the wedding day. John had got a wedding photography permit for Boston Common so we were able to take photos without any hassle on their wedding day. After some time in the park, we headed down Mass Ave. to the Charles River to get a few skyline photos of the bride and groom on their wedding day. We returned to the hotel and Panle changed in Chinese tradition changed into her red qipao, or cheongsam. Cocktail hour was held on the rooftop garden at the hotel followed by a reception filled with accents of red, pink, orange, and the double happiness symbol along with some coordinating lighting design available by the hotel. Flower design was by my favorite Boston wedding florist, Winston Flowers, who also supplied flowers for Bonnie & Jeff’s wedding at the Taj Hotel.
