Bryan + Elyse

An Oxon Hill Manor Wedding

filed in:

Bryan and Elyse emailed us as soon as their weekend wedding festivities were over just to make sure that we had a good time and enjoyed ourselves. That’s just how they are. They are welcoming, caring and so very kind. I have been looking forward to their wedding day ever since their beautiful engagement session at Maymont Park! Their style was amazing for their engagements and it was equally as amazing for their wedding day! They both changed into traditional Chinese wedding attire for special events throughout the night and I loved how different this wedding was for us! 

We photographed their Tea Ceremony before the reception began and I learned so much about Chinese wedding culture in the process! Bryan and Elyse had family and friends that came from around the WORLD to celebrate with them! Elyse’s Maid of Honor was from the UK and there were family members all the way from HONG KONG! Isn’t that amazing?! If you spent some time with these two you would understand why people would travel across the world for them! They are one amazing couple that had an INCREDIBLE wedding day! I loved every minute of it! Enjoy some of my favorites from their big day and don’t miss their amazing old-fashioned car! It’s actually the ONLY one in the WORLD that can be rented like that!!  Enjoy!!!
Ps. We worked alongside our good friends  the Herrinton’s and so many other awesome vendors (listed at bottom of post!)! Working alongside great people makes for an awesome wedding experience! It was an honor to be the ones capturing their day! Here’s Tyler’s sneak peek!! :
