Dac and Wai Pin contacted me to be their wedding photographer for their Chinese/Vietnamese/Western fusion beach resort wedding at the Westin Hotel in Langkawi, Malaysia. Two very lovely families. The weather was all over the place with rain coming down during the portrait session, partly due to it being a crazy hot day that ended up with a pool party at the end of everything. Good it was a private pool as the party went on into the night. You can view their wedding below.
We had some time to kill before the wedding so took a few images around the Westin. Looks great doesn’t it.
The day starts with make up.

Wai Pin arrived at the Tea Ceremony location first
The tea ceremony would be held on the Westin’s jetty
Dacs family arrived next
And gave his bouquet to Wai Pin who was obviously over joyed
And she showed her appreciation
Nice tea set for the Tea Ceremony
Dacs family are from all over the world and were separated by the Vietnam War so this was an emotional moment.

Tea ceremony time. Chinese and Vietnamese tea ceremonies are very similar.
Some quiet words of advice
