Duong Thuy Linh & Andy Nguyen Viet Thang : Hanoi Wedding

Julian & Aidan: Thuy Linh and Andy’s magnificent wedding at the Daewoo Hotel in Hanoi managed to seat over a thousand people into the grounds outside by the pool, which was really so much nicer than inside a dimly lit ballroom. I really enjoyed photographing Thuy Linh as she and her bridesmaids prepared for the wedding up in her room. Tight quarters to shoot in, but it’s always fun to try to work on some interesting angles when there’s 12 people packed into a tight space.

After the wedding presentation on stage, the new bride and groom and their parents made their way to each and every table, as is custom, to share a toast with their guests. Like I said, there were over a thousand people here, so there was a lot of toasting. After a beautiful evening, I’m sure Thuy Linh and Andy were excited to head back home to start their new life together.

Duong Thuy Linh & Andy Nguyen Viet Thang : Hanoi Dam Hoi

Julian: I had a wonderful day last week photographing the dam hoi (it’s the traditional Vietnamese wedding planning ceremony) from the perspective of the bride-to-be: Thuy Linh. They had hired another photographer to follow the groom, so I was able to spend all my time following Thuy Linh around as she prepared for the ceremony in the morning, donning a simple-yet-stunning red ao dai. I mean that dress was just radiating red, I don’t think I’ve seen anything more vibrant, and having that color to work with for pictures was really fun. Especially as the sun came out of the Hanoi winter gloom and colors began popping out all over. Beautiful.

We’ve got their big wedding reception coming up this weekend, so stay tuned….

I only noticed after that the above images made a lovely diptych. On the right is Thuy Linh, and on the left is her 91 year-old grandmother.
