2009 was without a doubt the craziest year of my life, and I was so glad that I could end the wedding season with a couple as nice and fun and Dora and Josh.
The mixture of Eastern and Western heritage started early, with the traditional Chinese game of forcing the groom to either pay money or pass challenges to be let into the brides’ parents’ house. As weddings go later and later into the winter, you can see the groomsmen being increasingly desperate in just their tuxedos. The mix continued with a beautiful ketubah signing and Jewish ceremony under the chuppah. For this ceremony, the rabbi turned Josh around so that he was the very last person in the congregation who would see the bride, and his reaction was priceless.
Also, for my fellow geeks, this was one of the rare weddings where I shot with both Canon and Nikon cameras. Watch the slideshow and see if you think you know which is which.
I couldn’t have ended the year with a better couple. Congratulations!
