Xtine
(pronounced Christine) and Steven met us for their engagement
portraits just a week prior to their
wedding. In fact, Steven was to have his bachelor party later
that same evening. We had a lot of fun doing their urban portraits
though it rushed them to select their choice for printing. Their
wedding day dawned a little rainy but then cleared for a beautiful
sunny courtyard ceremony at The Mansion at Judges Hill in Austin.
With the merging of their 2 cultures there were lots of ceremonial
aspects to their reception beyond the formal dances. During
the reception Xtine changed from her strapless gown into her
Mother’s Vietnamese wedding dress (not many of us are able to
wear our Mother’s dress) and visited each table with Steven.She
then changed to a short bridal party dress for the toasting
and general dancing. Afterwards, Guests gathered at the front
of the mansion and cheered them down the stairs and off to start
their new life. |
Steven
and Xtine are happily married!
