Keith and Crystals big day started at 3am. Claire (my awesome second shooter) and I got to Keith’s grandma’s house where he was getting ready at 7am and they were already taking shots of Rock Star! The morning started with misty rain and I started getting worried about the weather, but as soon as we got to the church the ground was dry and it wasn’t raining at all! What a relief, it looks like God was definitely on their side for their special day. Crystal was just getting ready as we got to the church and we took some time to shoot her dress, jewelry, and shoes. She had the most gorgeous Badgley Mischka heels – they had little frilly flower like detail in the front. Crystal also had a beautiful wedding dress with really amazing lace detail.
The ceremony took place at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Hacienda Heights, California. The little church was really cute and had floor to ceiling windows on one side with a dome shaped roof, the light was beautiful coming into the church. It made for an amazing wedding. Keith and Crystal had a unity sand ceremony and their service was sweet and simple. After the ceremony, the reception was held at New Capital Seafood Restaurant in Rowland Heights, not too far from the church. Keith and Crystal had a traditional Chinese lunch banquet for their reception, and as with all Chinese dimsum restaurants, the place was bustling with chitter chatter and the smell of delicious Chinese food. The reception started with a traditional tea ceremony between the bride and groom and their family. They played wedding games and then Keith had a surprise for Crystal. Crystal was asked to sit on the stage while 33 guests came up to her with 3 roses each with well wishes. Once Crystal had 99 roses in her lap, Keith turned up with the 100th rose with a pink ribbon tied to it. He gave the most amazing speech to her and it had everyone in tears including the bride. For their guests, Keith and Crystal had a cupcake wedding cake made by their wedding planner, Alice Tam, and Karaoke. The party favors included little purple Chinese takeout boxes of chocolates. All in all, it was a fun day. Check it out for yourself and leave some comments for Keith and Crystal below!
My favorite photo from the day 🙂 After the ceremony we had some time with all of Crystal’s Roses so we laid them on the floor and I took this photo from a second story balcony. <3
