Continuing on, here is the second half of Jasmin and Chiang’s epic 18 hour wedding! A wonderful mix of traditional Chinese customs (and costumes too) with a touch of contemporary flair. There was a nice mix of traditional Baju Kebaya representing Jasmin’s Malaysian background and Chinese Mandarin Shirts for Chiang’s ‘brothers’.
It was a packed day as we were between several different locations starting with the Star City Apartment, their new home in Alexandria, a stroll through the Royal Botanical Gardens before boarding the Sydney Glass Island via Man O War Wharf. We also allocated some time to prepare a slideshow as Jasmin wanted to display some photos taken earlier in the day at the reception. I think it is also safe to say that the Hen’s Day Out vidshow was a hit

The weather forecasted for that day was an evening thunderstorm. It was threatening us the whole day but when we were at the Gardens, we had some very nice dramatic light – although we had some drizzle on and off which cut our outdoor portrait session short. Everyone was a little worried and on edge since the ceremony was on the top deck of the glass boat. We went on with the ceremony as the storm brew. Amazingly enough, it only started pouring when we were just about to make our way down!! The celebration went on as hard as ever as the thunder and lightning was seen and heard from every corner Checkout the wedding day video in the next post above.
Thank you Jasmin and Chiang for your trust in me to be your photographer on your wedding day, for asking me non-stop throughout the day if I had anything to eat or drink, for your warmth and kindness and of course, your friendship! I haven’t had so much fun shooting a wedding! Although it was 18 hours, it just went like a blink of an eye! Thank you!
Here are the highlights of the day. Hope you guys enjoy looking!
