Aidan: What a sight! A bright red Mercedes coupe leading the procession of black Mercedes through the narrow lanes in The Mekong Delta. And what a privilage to go with Yuli to collect Quyen from her countryside home in a small village in Ben Tre. Gifts were exchanged, tea and rice wine were drunk and then we made our way back to Saigon.

Ceremony: Ben Tre, Mekong Delta
Reception: The Park Hyatt Hotel Saigon
Coordinator: Bliss Wedding Planners
MUA/Hairstylist: Nam Trung, Beauty Editor, FTV Indochina

In the afternoon, we made our way back to our favourite hotel in Ho Chi Minh, The Park Hyatt Saigon. Quyen looked absolutely gorgeous and her smile lit up the dimly lit ballroom. This was my first time photographing a Japanese wedding but I look forward to the next one. Every time Yuli’s family or friends took to the stage, their speeches had everyone in raptures. I have no idea what they were saying but they really set the mood for a great night of partying!

Special thanks to Bliss Wedding Planners for organising this event.

Aidan: This was one of the most fun weddings we have shot, full of games and entertainment, and back to the stunning Park Hyatt Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. Julian was caught covering Typhoon Ketsana in Central Vetnam, so we called in Francois from NOI pictures to help out with the day’s coverage. We only wish we could have joined Cynthia and Michael on their honeymoon in The Maldives!
