Thuy and Quoc's wedding day

A looooong day, but another great Ashley K Photography wedding. Check her site for more pictures from the same day. Thuy and Quoc are such a lovely couple and very sweet to each other and others around them. I enjoyed the day, especially learning more about the tea ceremony. Granted, I didn't understand a single word, but I still enjoyed being a part of it.


Some details from Thuy's outfit. Waaaaay cool shoes!


She's getting ready for the traditional tea ceremony in the morning and people are about to start arriving.


This is Max the beloved dog. They had a tux just for him and he was a champ. He let them put it on him and he did well with photographs.


The bride and groom, just minutes before seeing each other. Does he look happy or what??



These are a few shots from the tea ceremony including one of each of the grandmothers. In the first picture, Quoc is seeing his bride for the first time that day, kind of as if she'd walked down the aisle, but without the church and the pews and the priest, and you get it.


Quoc helps his brother (Best Man) get ready before the Catcholic ceremony. Thuy is ready to walk down the aisle with her father.


He looks like the happiest groom! He stole a glance at her.

A few details from the reception. They gathered at Kim Son in Sugarland (great food, by the way.)

Kids do the funniest things. And the last one is the garter toss.

Simar family session

I was so excited to finally meet the Simars to do their family session and I'll be seeing them again next year for the wedding! This family is truly so sweet to each other and these girls are the best of friends as well as sisters. If y'all are looking to adopt a sister/daughter, can I submit my application?
We didn't go too far from their home and we spent some time trying different things. They did such a great job and they really enjoy taking pictures, which makes my job so much easier!


To see the rest of the images, go to my website http://www.karellephotography.com/ and click on 'Portraits,' then 'Digital Studio' on the far right. From there, follow the instructions and look for Simar Family Session'. You'll see the images that are on my blog and the rest of the images.

Christine and Daniel

Christine and Daniel had a beautiful wedding at the Briscoe Manor in Sugarland. Due to circumstances, I didn't shoot as much as I usually do because I had to take on the role of 'light assistant,' so I have mostly detail shots.
Sorry it's so short, I just have so many things to do before leaving on Saturday.
