Ever since I hung out with Michelle and Duy at their Cupertino engagement session, I’d been looking forward to their wedding. Their wedding day in Los Altos didn’t disappoint - not only did it feature gorgeous florals, gowns, and decor, but also a beautiful blend of culture and families.
Michelle and Duy opted to do a first look, which I typically recommend for couples so that they can not only get some nerves out of the way, but also so they can tackle all their bridal party and immediate family photos before the ceremony. Their first look was so cute - Duy’s signature smile and Michelle’s sweet laughter made it all worth it.
Since both their families speak Vietnamese, they made sure to have their pastor officiate their wedding ceremony in both Vietnamese and English. They also had close loved ones involved throughout the ceremony, whether it was scripture reading or Michelle’s own sister/matron of honor singing musical worship! (Sidenote: I also took the largest group photo I’ve ever taken after the ceremony - one of ALL of the guests!)
The rest of the night was focused on honoring their families and friends, many of whom traveled from either across the country or even internationally. Michelle and Duy are still in the midst of a period of long distance themselves, so I know they cherished having so many of their loved ones together in one room.
Michelle and Duy, thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your big day. I’ve loved getting to know you, and I am so excited for you two to finally be married and be together all the time :)
