Vietnamese Tea Ceremony | St Vincent’s Catholic Church Ashfield | Rhodes Phoenix Restaurant

Saturday 30th January 2010 – Long day, Plenty of driving, heaps of over eager family and friends with mobile phones, P&S, dSLR & videocameras helping me document the day  😉  I started early in the morning capturing the bridal hair and makeup. There was a Vietnamese tea ceremony at the brides place and then we heading from Cabramatta to Sans Souci to the grooms place for a second tea ceremony. The church wedding ceremony was at St Vincent’s Catholic Church at Ashfield, it was my first wedding there….love it. We captured some quick simple informal relaxed portraits before heading to Rhodes Phoenix Restaurant for a banquet reception.

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