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. :)
These "ancient" photos are SO great!!! I went to your Flickr account and looked at the whole set from "The Wedding Store" and they are all wonderful. LOVE IT.

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?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. You two are always so open "kai fang" in your pics. I love that!
Ha! LOL!! Our engagement photographer told us the exact same thing!! He
ReplyDeletekept 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." :)
