Jamie & Teddy: Cambodian/Chinese Wedding in Washington DC
Asian weddings are like eye candy for the camera, you want to know why? Well get a look at these dazzling colors! Ahh-mazing! We're so lucky to share the work of Chris Baltazar, the supremely talented photographer from Washington DC. The fun-loving couple, Jamie & Teddy, did not hold back one bit for their wedding as they wanted to embrace both of their Asian heritages. This is a beautiful cultural ceremony that is a mix of Cambodian and Chinese cultures. The Cambodian wedding ceremonies involved five individual ceremonies and multiple wardrobe changes. The Cambodian ceremonies included the Procession of the Groom, followed by the Hair Cutting and Cleansing, then the Passing of Blessings, then the Knot Tying Ceremony, and finally the Shower of Palm Flowers. Wow, and that's not all! The day-long cultural ceremonies were concluded with the most important Chinese wedding tradition – the Chinese Tea Ceremony. It might be a long day for them, but Jamie & Teddy seize all the good luck they can from their Asian wedding traditions!

woah, there is a lot of things going on there!! i can't believe it, 6 cermonies!! long day but it was sooo beautiful! way more exciting and interesting than american weddings.
ReplyDeleteTruly an inspiring wedding! I love all of the beautiful traditions. I love how the bride and groom are surrounded by food and gifts! They are just showered with love and support. It is so exciting to see how much joy and love can fill a home, even when it is just a small number of family members. This is what all weddings should be like. I would love to photograph an asian wedding someday.
