The River Mill – Pauline and Danny

The beautiful wedding of Pauline and Danny was all day affair that started at Pauline’s mother’s house.  It was traditional Chinese ceremony where the groom needed to do whatever the bridesmaids tell them to do before he can come and see his beloved bride to be.  Of course, they took every opportunity of making sure it wasn’t easy at all.  Some of the funny acts the bridesmaid had the men do was that they had to lick mayonnaise from the tip of the banana as fast as they could and loser had to eat a packet of stale butter….so gross.  But they did it and at last, Danny was able to get permission to come in and see his bride.  Of course, Pauline looked stunning in her long red Chinese gown.  And so the tea ceremony takes place.  As part of the tradition, they now head out to Danny’s parent’s house where the Cambodian tea ceremony started.  Lots of laugh and the food was amazing.

Afterwards, we headed over to a location dear to the couples heart which is the playground they first met in grade school where Pauline played hard to get as Danny even at a young age had his loving eyes on her.  She said she used to tie him up on the play structure to torture him.  And so we reenacted it.  See photos below.  Danny and Pauline has a fun loving relationship.  We took lots of fun photos and played as well as we had so much time before the wedding.

After a short break, we headed over to The River Mill in French Camp.  I was so in awe of how gorgeous the place was and how gChineseTeaCeremony002ChineseTeaCeremony003ChineseTeaCeremony005ChineseTeaCeremony011ChineseTeaCeremony014ChineseTeaCeremony015ChineseTeaCeremony017ChineseTeaCeremony021ChineseTeaCeremony023ChineseTeaCeremony025ChineseTeaCeremony029ChineseTeaCeremony030ChineseTeaCeremony031ChineseTeaCeremony032ChineseTeaCeremony033ChineseTeaCeremony037ChineseTeaCeremony039ChineseTeaCeremony040ChineseTeaCeremony041ChineseTeaCeremony042ChineseTeaCeremony043ChineseTeaCeremony044ChineseTeaCeremony046Therivermill047Therivermill049Therivermill052Therivermill053Therivermill054Therivermill055Therivermill057Therivermill058Therivermill059Therivermill064Therivermill066Therivermill067Therivermill069Therivermill070Therivermill072Therivermill076Therivermill078Therivermill079Therivermill080Therivermill081Therivermill083Therivermill084Therivermill085Therivermill087Therivermill088Therivermill089Therivermill090Therivermill092Therivermill093Therivermill094Therivermill096Therivermill098Therivermill100Therivermill102Therivermill104Therivermill105Therivermill106Therivermill109Therivermill112Therivermill113Therivermill114Therivermill115Therivermill116Therivermill117Therivermill118Therivermill119Therivermill120Therivermill121Therivermill122Therivermill129Therivermill134Therivermill140Therivermill141Therivermill142Therivermill150Therivermill152Therivermill154Therivermill159rea.  The gardens were meticulously kept  and designed so beautifully.  Lots of nooks and crannies to explore.  The wedding was perfect with doves, laughters, and good food.  I’m so honored to have been part of another wedding from their family.  I photographed her sister’s wedding, Diana two years ago.  See Diana and Perot’s wedding was just as beautiful.  The whole family was fun and warm.  I posted Pauline and Danny’s engagement photos just before this.  You should check it out.  It was lovely.

Pauline and Danny, I’m so happy to be part of your wedding day!
