Vietnam | Thailand | Bali | Wedding Photographer
Julian: I headed out to Halong Bay a few weeks to photograph the very, very intimate wedding of Kat and Jason. Their only guest was their friend Hollie, and I became their fourth wheel for the afternoon. Someone had to help create symmetry at the lunch table as Jason dined on fresh crabs and everyone enjoyed the amazing views from the boat slowly chugging past limestone cliffs in green waters. If it had to be me, then so be it.
But maybe it was a bit too intimate. In the funniest moment I’ve experienced at a wedding so far, during the ceremony the ad hoc celebrant asked Jason if he would take Hollie as his lawfully wedded wife. Yes, he asked if he wanted to marry the bridesmaid. Without missing a beat, Kat simply walked away and made as if to jump overboard. Classic.

We are coming from the US and want to have a wedding at Halong Bay.
Who married them?
Did they require paper work?
Is there a specific ship line they used?
All information would be fabulous.
Your photo’s are great.
Be Happy.
Thank you ,

Hi Eileen,
It’s actually quite difficult for foreigners to be legally married in Vietnam. not impossible, but close to it. Most couples do their paperwork beforehand in their home countries, and then have a ceremony in Vietnam that has no real legal bearing.
Kat and Jason were aboard a boat owned by Bhaya cruises, you can find them online. A Bhaya staff member acted as the celebrant for the ceremony (he was OK, but not great).
If you need more help, email me at julianwainwright@gmail.com
cheers,
