What a fantastic and unusual wedding this one was - we had three ceremonies to photograph. Initially we photographed the civil ceremony which happened early on in the day, they then had a religious blessing which Marshall's father conducted followed by a Korean Ceremony before their meal.
As well as the ceremonies we also had changes of clothes - the bride and groom wore both the more traditional western dress and Korean Outfits. I must confess to being really taken by the Korean clothes with fantastic embroidery and vivid colours brightening up a windy February day and being a real treat for us to photograph.
Below are photographs of Marshall and Sun-Young in both their Western Dress and Korean Outfits together with a couple of photos of the embroidery
This photograph is one that David took and it makes me smile everytime I see it. Little did I know at the time of taking the photograph of Sun-Young and the older bridesmaids that the smallest bridesmaid, Su-Yun had crept up behind me and was pulling faces to make them laugh. When I turned round (as you can see) she still continued to pull faces for them
We also had a very brief period of bright sunlight through the dark grey clouds and I really like this photograph of Sun-Young with the sun behind her.
I love this one of them walking through the confetti after their religious blessing and the sense of movement.
At the Korean Ceremony there was a huge variety of food all so beautifully presented. The birds were carefully carved out of food and the layout was spectacular.
During the ceremony there was a lot of exchanging that took place with different symbolic meanings. Towards the end of the ceremony chestnuts and dates were thrown by the parents for the bride and groom to catch in a cloth.
I am fairly certain that they said this symbolises how many children the bride and groom will have - the look on Sun-Young's face after catching sooo many says it all and captures the spirit of their day perfectly.
If you attended Marshall and Sun-Young's Wedding and would like to view their wedding photos these are now available online and I am sure they will give you the password to look at them.
We have also had wonderful feedback from the couple and Marshall's mum with some very kind comments about both us and the photographs which is greatly appreciated. To read theirs and others reviews of our photography have a look at the main website.
I will also keep you updated with the news on this wedding as Essex Wedding Magazine has shown an interest in putting Marshall and Sun-Young's Wedding in a real-life wedding feature. If this goes ahead I'll write more details when I know.
This is one wedding that I am sure neither David or I will forget in a very long time and we hope that Marshall and Sun-Young and their families stay in touch in the future. We wish them a lifetime of happiness together and will be keen to hear when they are expecting all those children!
