From the moment they stepped into the room, Thao and Alan exuded effortless style, charisma, and love — the kind of couple that makes every guest stop and take notice. Elegant, confident, and completely in sync, they’re the definition of a modern power couple: turning heads, sharing laughter, and radiating warmth wherever they go. Their wedding wasn’t just a celebration of their love — it was a night that reflected who they are at their best: bold, beautiful, and unforgettable.



Getting Ready + Wedding Party Gifts


The excitement of the day was palpable as Thao and Alan prepared for their big moment in separate spaces. Each surrounded themselves with their closest friends, laughter, and a few special surprises. Thao’s bridal party received delicate jewelry gifts they could wear that day, adding a personal and elegant touch to their looks. Alan’s groomsmen got a playful twist: custom bobbleheads crafted to resemble each of them, bringing plenty of smiles (and maybe a few good-natured jokes).


From quiet, intimate moments to bursts of laughter, the getting-ready hour perfectly set the tone for a day that balanced style, sentiment, and a whole lot of personality.

Pre-Ceremony Photos


Thanks to a full portrait session before their wedding day, Thao and Alan didn’t need a traditional first look — a real time-saver and stress reliever. This allowed us to capture all of their couple portraits and wedding party photos well before the ceremony, leaving the couple free to fully enjoy the day as it unfolded.


With the pressure off, everyone could relax and have fun, resulting in portraits that felt natural, joyful, and perfectly reflective of their personalities. The wedding party had plenty of laughs, the couple shared some quiet, candid moments, and we were able to get every shot we wanted without the clock looming over us.

Ceremony


The ceremony was nothing short of breathtaking. Guests were greeted by an 85-foot white aisle, lined with delicate baby’s breath, leading to a staircase altar that elegantly elevated Thao and Alan as they exchanged vows. White and gold Oster chairs added a touch of modern elegance, while soft draping framed the aisle and created a dramatic reveal for the bride’s entrance.


Every element felt intentional — from the airy, romantic florals to the elevated altar that ensured every guest could see the couple in all their glory. The ceremony space perfectly captured their desire for a day that was both stunning and unforgettable, leaving everyone in awe before the celebration even began.
