Happy Portraits Of The People You Love By Rob & Lauren

Along with this theme of incredible connections we have going on, when we first met Cherie and Kevin we discovered that we were all going to be in Vietnam at the same time. Of course a little light goes on in our photographer brains and we said “Hey, let’s do a crazy awesome portrait session in Vietnam!”

Well, we did just that and blogged about it on The Wedding Travelers. Click here to see some of those crazy awesome shots.

Here are a couple to show you, done just outside of Ho Chi Minh City.

Well, the time had come for their wedding in Edmonton. Things got underway with Cherie getting into her Vietnamese ao dai. The wedding ao dai is the traditional dress and hat. In Vietnam you can see many women wearing a more simple version day to day, and it’s just gorgeous.

Then a tea ceremony at Kevin’s parents’ house.

It is tradition for the groom’s parents to bring a roast pig as a gift for the bride’s parents.

Costume change! Time to get into the Western style clothes. The shoes.

Final touches.

Haha, this little girl loved the petals on the ground and was trying to gather them all up!

The ceremony was at one of our fav places, the Union Bank Inn.

It was an emotional ceremony.

And then time for some fun with the bridal party!

And of course some alone time.

Definitely my favorite of the day!

WOW! Look at those blues!

This would be how Rob got that last shot :)

A Rob & Lauren guestbook in action! Made with shots from Vietnam, the guests loved it.

Their very cute first dance was complete with bubble shower.

Yes! Cork included!

And of course, the other view.

Aren’t these little favours the cutest? They had them made for them in Vietnam (we know, we were there too :) and they had to get it custom to make one blonde, lol! Not many blondes in Vietnam.

And one last shot of the crazy kids having some fun.

Thanks again you two for some fun in Edmonton. Where are we going next?
