Katie & Zirui's classic, touching wedding celebration

5/15/2018

0 Comments

 
As Katie and I worked together to plan for her wedding film, I was repeatedly struck by how genuinely all aspects of the day were designed to echo the sentiment of how deeply she and Zirui care not only for each other, but for the family and friends in attendance. Their love for each other is palpable from their heartfelt letters exchanged prior to the ceremony, to the way they and their relationship are described by those closest to them, and culminating with their beautiful toasts to each other during the reception. It was also extra special to know that they were married in the same church as Katie's parents! It was an honor to celebrate their love story and take in every gorgeous detail; from the soft pink color palette to the delicate illusion buttons trailing down Katie’s back to the tender moments after their first minutes of marriage - Katie and Zirui’s wedding was one for the books!

The Must-See Moments:
  • The absolutely adorable way Zirui is described by his friend and groomsman, Mike, followed by his sharing the even more adorable way Zirui describes Katie. Swoon.

  • The sweetest, most genuine exclamation by Katie upon reading a letter from her soon-to-be husband. Also, Zirui deserves a serious shoutout for his gorgeous handwriting.

  • The beautiful, unique musical addition to their traditional ceremony from Katie’s father. 

  • The tangible excitement and emotion sweeping the room as Katie walks down the aisle, through the vows, and after the first kiss. Seriously, do aisle moments ever get old?!

  • That. Dress. Those buttons, the lace detail - it was stunning. Props to Vows in Watertown, MA for that Martina Liana treasure!

  • A little pop of color during a classic New England mid-afternoon passing summer shower. Thanks to Flowers By Steve for keeping things bright!​​
