Arboretum / Bonaventure Wedding Photography
Taylin & Quan
Aboretum
Bonaventure
We had the privilege of providing Taylin & Quan wedding photography services in the lovely city of Los Angeles. This quirky couple started their day with a Chinese "door entry game," where the groom must coax the bridesmaids to allow him to enter the room to pick up his beautiful bride. He usually has to do a variety of tasks to prove his love for her. In this situation, Quan and his entourage had to sing and cajole the girls with red envelopes (containing money).
Once Quan succeeded, everyone proceeded to the Chinese tea ceremony. To pay respect to the family members, the couple would present tea in exchange for their well-wishes.
Following the tea ceremony, the wedding party went to the scenic Aboretum in Arcadia. Fortunately, in most cases, and unfortunately, Los Angeles is known for its constant sun. The scorching rays and lack of cool airflow in the limo created a lot of drowsy faces.
Despite the heat and uneven lighting conditions, our largest challenge was working with the videographers. Throughout the day, the three of them would constantly either get in our view or interject while we are trying to facilitate a pose. In the end, we did not even get a chance for a private session for the two at the Los Angeles Aboretum because the videographers were not cooperative, but we were still able to capture some randomly cool moments.
Following the Aboretum, the couple hosted their reception at Los Angeles Bonaventure in Downtown LA.
After a long day's work, nothing quenches a hungry photographer's growling stomach better than JJ Cafe midnight dinner specials. Their affordable food and quick service make the perfect marriage. I [and Los Angeles Times] recommend this restaurant without reserve to anyone in search for good food. =) All in all, it was an enjoyable day where we got to meet a lot of cool people.
