Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. In honor of this day celebrating love and romance, here is a photo of Anh, a bride I had who wore two dresses. The first was a traditional white dress, for her Catholic ceremony, and then she wore this traditional Chinese dress for the reception.

In the Chinese culture red is often used to symbolize good luck, as it is also in the red envelops in her hand, which contain monetary presents. I loved her spontaneous joy as she fanned them out for the crowd to appreciate. In fact, I've title this one "Red Envelop Joy".

Last year the color red was big in terms of showing up in bridal bouquets and bridesmaid dresses. I'd love to photograph a bride who wears red on her dress in some way (perhaps a sash or stripes running down it) or a red wedding dress, for the ceremony as well.
