My last wedding of the year, and definitely a great way to end the year. I shot Mai and Rickys engagement a few months ago, and I knew their wedding was going to be a blast.
I love the traditional Qipao dress.
Before Ricky could see Mai, the bridal party had the guys perform certain tasks, and one of them was to do yoga poses. Ricky didn’t disappoint.
I love the reaction when couples see each other for the first time:
Mai and Ricky wrote their own vows, and neither of them could hold back their tears of joy.
“Honey, I shrunk the Newlyweds”
After our session at the Clift, we then headed to the Ferry Building.
The ladies kept comfortable in their Uggs.
My favorite shot of the day.
The reception was held at Restaurant Peony in Oakland.
I love the cupcake ‘cake’.
Ricky serenaded Mai which I thought was pretty awesome.
The bridal party has some great games planned for the night, one of them involved balloons……
The other involved bras and g-strings…..
This final shot cracks me up, love the guy in the back.
Thank you Mai and Ricky, you guys put on a great party!
