In general it was really chill. We were there five days and I really only worked on one of them. The rest of the time I ate, drank coffee, hung out by the pool, and got massages.
We took a couple of pre-wedding "engagement" photos for Min and Ted (Teresa's bro). It was impossible to get a bad shot. The scenery was spectacular everywhere you turned.
Then the morning of the wedding was moderately frenzied. Originally the ceremony was set for 5:30 pm, but because we had been experiencing torrential downpour every afternoon, they moved the ceremony to 10:30 am.
The morning was always beautiful. It would start with a low fog.
And the rays of sun would shoot through the fog and it created an awesome effect.
Min fired the hair and makeup team assigned by the resort (they were randoms from the local village and had no idea what they were doing) and her sisters and cousin became her hair and makeup and styling team.
The bride looked fierce!
And also quite happy.
It was an intimate ceremony.
With heartfelt speeches.
Laughter...
And a surprise musical performance by Min's crazy aunt Jenny...
We did some portraits...
(Here's a great behind-the-scenes photo a guest took of me at work. The setting was so beautiful.)
There was a lovely dinner.
Dancing.
And then...there was an afterparty.
There was a bouquet toss...
Which Teresa won.
Then there was a garter toss.
Which the boys were really excited about.
The ultimate high point of the dance party came when the DJ finally played Justin Bieber's "Baby". (He originally didn't have it. But after several requests and "boo"s and spontaeous chanting of "Baby...baby...baby OHHHHH" from the entire crowd, he caved and downloaded it.)
We went nutz!
Super fun wedding!
And the best part was I made lots of new friends from all over the globe. Australia...Singapore...Dubai.... and thus hopefully will have more international wedding gigs to come in the future!
