ancient chinese wedding photos (well, kinda)

Lawrance and Amanda

The headdresses and clothing is all handmade and real (and real old too).  Also, the headdress I wore was incredibly heavy--I would guess several pounds.

We didn't do the entire "2 day professional photo taking extravaganza" that most nearly-weds here in Taiwan do.  We just did a quick afternoon session to get some photos of us in traditional wedding attire and a few studio shots in our own wedding attire too.

(Note the red scarfs--long one for him, small one for me.  I've yet to know why they were used.)

Like most things we do together, it was fun. :)

  4. They are fantastic! But not authentic enough -- you don't have that demure, barely a grin kind of smile. And Lawrance is way too happy. Where's the stern glare?
    Just kidding. You two are always so open "kai fang" in your pics. I love that!

  5. Ha! LOL!! Our engagement photographer told us the exact same thing!! He
    kept scolding us because we were "too happy, not sweet." :) I tried to be
    "sweet" for him, then after about 2-3 photos of that he was like "never
    mind, be happy." :)
