Orange County Wedding Photography | Heather + Vu

Heather and Vu’s wedding was such a fun way to end my wedding season for 2008.  Everything ran so smooth and everyone had so much fun, even their vendors!  (see below)

It was a beautiful day outside, so I decided to take Heather’s dress for a little walk while she was getting ready.  I got a lot of stares as I walked around with a wedding dress, but so worth it, wasn’t it?

Heather & Vu’s rings with their beautiful invites that her sister made.

Heather did a great job planning her own wedding and involving all her loved ones.  Her cousin Amy did her makeup!

Her sister zipping her up.

I love this photo of Heather as she’s getting looped up in the back.

Vu and his brother helping each other with their cuff links.

And then off to the church!  I really loved how much they involved their family in the wedding – Vu’s uncle married them!

And I love this moment they shared during the ceremony.

Look how happy they are as husband & wife!  so so cute!

And then some portraits at a nearby park, on the way to the reception.  I love finding light and interesting angles where ever it is, even if it’s just some cliche park.  Heather wasn’t too excited for this park because she says that everyone in her neighborhood takes photos here, but I think I caught some great light and different angles.  The park may be cliche, but I think the angles and perspectives here make up for it.

I love the light here!  The sun was actually setting behind some office buildings, but fortunately, I was able to catch this light in between the buildings!

I love Heather’s bouquet of all red roses.  It pops!

And then off to the reception!

I love how much fun the two had the entire day.  You could just feel their joy and can’t help but to have fun with them.

They also had a traditional Lion Dance performance.  So cool!

And then some alone time during their first dance.

To celebrate their honeymoon in Mexico, they led a festive conga line.  Yes, that is a tricycle handle Vu’s “driving” with.  haha.

And like I mentioned in the beginning, even the vendors had fun.  Check out all the waiters!

Thank you Heather & Vu for letting us share in this super fun day with you both.  I wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
