Alvin and Niki held their wedding reception at Caravelle in Richardson. The venue was decorated with vivid reds and whites, and flowers displayed throughout the reception. I met the two through a mutual friend of mine, Brian, who is Alvin's younger brother.
I started off the coverage photographing against a backdrop they provided with standalone lights of Alvin and Niki with guests, and made prints that night, which the guests could take home (you can see example in the post).
After everyone was settled in and started mingling, Alvin's father thanked everyone, and certain guests by name for recognition:
Alvin's mother was one of them:
The MC made an announcement, and introduced the best couple of the night:
Promptly after, the band opened up with their first song:
While dinner was being served, it's customary in the Asian culture for the bride, groom, and immediately family and friends to go table to table, thanking them for coming and share a small toast:
Sometimes it doesn't end at a toast for certain tables though. One person had the groom play a game where he has to find his wife down the line - blindfolded!:
Soon, it was time for their first dance, and I have to say, they looked very happy together:
And now we have an open dance floor!:
In-between the dancing, it was time to cut, eat, and serve the cake:
Alvin wasted no time opening, and sharing the champagne with Niki:
Niki made a brief announcement that whoever catches the bouquet, had to get married on the spot (jokingly, of course):
I suppose some are always ready:
And now back to dancing festivities!:
Some of the details throughout the night, including the prints I mentioned earlier:
Alvin, Niki, thank you guys for bringing us out and letting us photograph your special day. May your days as husband and wife be filled with happiness!
