Things have been quite busy this past few weeks. I started a new job doing real estate photography, in addition to my freelance photography work. And this past weekend (Memorial Day long weekend), I was honoured to capture another traditional Laos wedding in Renton, WA for Patty and Allan. I have covered traditional Laos wedding in the past, and it’s always nice to see their traditional colorful outfits and happiest celebrations with shots of liquor. The wedding festivities start off with the groom parading with his family and entourage. Then comes the greeting exchange of elders from both families as the groom walks in to the house. Shots of liquor are passed on to family members and then the rinsing of the groom’s feet before heading in and sitting next to his bride.

The ceremony for Patty and Allan was sweet, with spurts of happy “yeehaaas” and laughs from family members to show their love and support. Here are some snaps from their special day. Best wishes again to Patty & Allan.
