Ann + Mark’s Wedding in Thailand December 21, 2008.
Bride, Groom, and Families
Selected pictures from our photo session with immediate families, taken about half an hour before the guests arrive.
Group Pictures
Here are some selected photos of the bride & groom with different groups of guests at the wedding. Who knows, maybe you’re in one of them!
The Garden
The task of finding the place to have our wedding was left to my mom and sisters, who were living in Thailand, while I was on the other side of the globe in Canada. One day, a few months after we decided the wedding date, I get an email out of the blue, from [...]
The Making of the Flowers
The morning of the wedding day, my sister, maid of honor and mistress of ceremony, Jane, rounded up the girls and had them make all 38 centerpieces and the bride’s bouquet.
The Band
The wedding band was comprised of local school children playing traditional Lanna string instruments. The 13-piece musical troop played music during the hand-tying ceremony.
Interactive Video
We set up FACE, an interactive installation which allows the viewer to take a short video clip of themselves, at the welcome area of the wedding. Instead of having a stage set up for stiff photo session with the bride and groom, attendees were encourage to play with this installation and record themselves. [...]
The Flower Girls
Our flower girls were the cutest little dolls at the wedding and were quite popular with the cameras. Maria and Kiara (4 and 2 years old) are sisters, half Thai half British cousins of mine who came straight from England to attend the wedding.
Flowers
We didn’t use a flower vendor. Instead we bought flowers from local market and had friends help arrange them on the day of the wedding. The result is much more beautiful and showed a lot more character than any vendor could have done.
The making of The Cake
The red velvet cupcake was my idea, then everybody else just kind of made it into reality.
Lighting Lanterns in the Sky
The night before the wedding, we had a welcome dinner party for the oversea / out-of-town guests attending the wedding. We also lit up some lanterns to float away bad luck.
