I will be honest and possibly cliche to say, that as a photographer, we always feel this sense of honor to be chosen to document a couples marriage. And to be a part of Jackie and Brian’s Vietnamese Engagement Ceremony over a year ago, Engagement Session and now their Wedding Day, I’m truly speechless. Not just to be on this journey with them, but to just see how truly amazing these two are and how monumental their relationship is. If you’re also wondering why they look like they’re in such great shape, it’s because they both share the love of running. So much so, that I always here about them training for marathons! Jackie and Brian met over 12 years ago and believe it or not, just recently, Brian finally told Jackie how he truly felt and decided to propose to her shortly after. Their wedding was so thoughtful in details, like the photo of Brian’s late father who was a CEO of an airline company and what the main focus of their engagement ceremony and wedding, was family. They even started the evening with the father daughter dance, rather than the first dance. I know the bond between Jackie and her father is something really special. Jackie and Brian, you’re amazing! There’s nothing more that I can say but that. It was truly truly an amazing day and thank you for letting us be a part of it!
