Cambodian Engagement Ceremony – Sacramento Wedding Photographer

It was a such a nice to experience different cultures such as the one that took place a few weeks ago when Chheavy of Absolute Wedding (Event Coordinator) was engaged to her one and only, Chris.   Every one was so happy to share this special day with them.  This is the day they are to be officially engaged.  And, in the Cambodian culture, the male and his family brings gifts as an offering for her hand in marriage.  Chheavy looked amazing in her traditional Cambodian garb.  She even had someone especially come in to do the intricate foldings of her dress.  Apparently, not very many people can do it very well.

There were trays and trays of variety of food and sweet Cambodian delicacies.  Chris’ relatives each brought a tray with the help of some of Chheavy’s relatives and paraded down the street to her house to offer their gifts with Chris carrying the engagement ring.

The ceremony was translated from Cambodian to English.  Everyone sat on the floor and participated.  Chheavy’s family was so proud to share their culture to Chris’ family.  After the ceremony, everyone feasted with traditional Cambodian food like a whole roasted pig.  Everyone was so welcoming.

Here some photos from the event.  I can’t wait for to photograph their wedding.  Chheavy and Chris are an amazing, easy going couple and they are perfect for each other.
