east meets west editorial | azaleana manor | june 2022

when my of lolu lamore photography asked me if i was available for a photoshoot highlighting her vietnamese heritage, i was honored. her vision was to take eastern and western wedding traditions and combine them. she enlisted patricia of your plan a events who pulled together rentals, fashion, and venors so seamlessly.

the color palette STEMMED from the symbolic use of the color red in vietnamese weddings- thought to bring good luck to the couple. we incorporated traditions such as the tea ceremony, mâm qua (gift presentation tins), and the ao dai (wedding dress). Backdrop designer pen and flower brought in traditional vietnamese architecture through her design.
