I captured their prewedding session a few months ago, you can see it here. I started at the brides house today capturing the bridal preparation and also the Vietnamese Tea Ceremony. After the tea ceremony we headed back to the grooms place for the tradition Cambodian Wedding Ceremony. We had a quick lunch before heading to a local park for some relaxed portraits. The reception dinner was at Golden Star Palace in Cabramatta. It was great working with videographer Troy @ EncoreMedia

Enjoy the teaser images and leave a comment for the Bride & Groom

I had an eskie of icy drinks in my car and also I bought a spare change of clothes. The day was long, two tea ceremonies, civil ceremony, formals and reception. The civil garden ceremony was at Heron Park and the reception was at Novella Events Centre at Bonnyrigg. It was great working with Troy from Encoremedia again. The B&G also hired the Wonderbrass :-) I just worked with them yesterday, but this time it was the full team – the music was awesome !
