Since my return from the Vietnam trip about a week ago, I was packed with non-stop shoots; Mingjiang and Mingjie’s wedding is one of them. The week was really exhausting, but I had been looking forward to capture their big day.
I remember it was many many months ago when a petite and slender Mingjie came over to view my works, she carried a huge and heavy bag with her. For a really small size girl like her, she sure is very strong! And she got a very jovial character. We clicked immediately and signed me up on the spot. 
I only managed to meet up with Mingjiang a couple of days before their wedding when they came back from London. I missed a opportunity to do their pre-wedding in London, they were just too busy. Anyway, their wedding day was so much fun. The guys did a strip tease at the gate crash. LOL! There were so much exuberant joy that I ended up with 150 photos for their banquet slideshow. And it was really gratifying to get compliments for the photos from the couple and their family members! Every single effort I put into processing and rushing out the photos is definitely worth it.
Here are some of the images to share.

Mingjiang has a serious look on the outside but he has his quirky side too!

Many, many thanks Lawrence, for capturing the spontaneous moments and joy of our wedding day.
Your eye spotted our quirkiness despite us doing the most “traditional” of duties. Our parents and the older generation tend to be more camera-shy and reserved, yet you caught them at their most natural. The pictures are like portraits of our closest ones, true to their spirit and character. Young or old, all of us were free to simply be ourselves.
I remember one moment about you as well. During one of the pre-wedding meetings, I said I do not expect perfection. You immediately replied that you do. I was impressed by your professionalism. You do not treat this as yet another wedding shoot. And indeed, your pictures provide the proof.
We will treasure these photographs. Once again, thank you.
