One thing I love about weddings is how different cultures each have beautiful and unique traditions and customs related to the wedding day.

This was my first opportunity to shoot a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony for Ray & Heidi’s beautiful Napa Valley wedding. And it was lovely watching the exchange of tea and blessings and gifts. Heidi also made it extra special by wearing the same traditional Chinese dress that her Mom wore for her own wedding.

More of of Ray & Heidi’s Napa wedding coming soon!
