The number 8 in Chinese culture is believed by some to be an auspicious number. One of luck and prosperity. Jenny and Calvin were married on 8/8/08 and I do believe these two will be blessed with luck and love in their marriage for all of their days. Here are a few of my favorite images from their wedding.
To expound on their luck, the weather in NY on Friday was unpredictable to say the least. I woke up to grey skies and torrential rain that morning, while the area North of my hometown had crystal clear skies. Jenny and Calvin are so very lucky! The golden hour of the day was spent taking portraits with a lovely, warm sky and not a drop of rain. Once we finished up taking pictures, we went back inside to get ready for the ceremony and by the time we walked around to the front of the venue and got Jenny and Calvin tucked inside for their guests to start arriving, the skies opened up and poured down rain. And of course, with their luck, the rain let up and their ceremony went off without a hitch!
This was the last frame I shot at their wedding. All of their friends were dancing the night away when the DJ asked everyone to bum rush Jenny and Calvin, squishing us all together at the center of the dance floor. And the idea just hit home to me, again, these two are lucky to have such wonderful friends and families and I wanted to thank them for inviting me into their wedding day. I was so happy to share in their joy. All the best you two, and enjoy Hawaii!!
Exquisite!
