While planning their wedding Jeff and Levita decided to add a Chinese Tea Ceremony to honor tradition and their family. This is one of the reasons photographing weddings in Southern California is so much fun. Cultures are so varied and mixed, and many couples decide to combine some of their old world traditions, along with our modern customs, to personalize their wedding. From a photography perspective it’s fun to experience and capture traditions from around the world. My record so far is three ceremonies in one day. Indian, Vietnamese, and Christian. It was a long day with five clothing changes, but the couple joked they were legal anywhere in the world. Now there is tradition and then there is tradition. The great thing about So Cal is our relaxed attitude. Here, couples are free to integrate customs and ceremonies they feel add to their day, sometimes adding a little twist for fun and showmanship. I always tell everyone, its your day, and it only happens one time. Take charge of the day and make it your own. There are no rules. If you want tradition, an ultra modern event, a luau on the beach, or a quirky personal ceremony in a totally unique location. Go for it. Or you might want to combine a little bit of everything. Remember it’s something you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
Check back next week for the wedding. I guarentee a fun time will be had by all!!
