I am photographing Tuyet & Khoi’s wedding in Las Vegas later this month. It is traditional in their Vietnamese culture to have bridal portraits made before the wedding with the couple dressed in their wedding attire and to display the portrait at the wedding. It has also been Tuyet and Khoi’s dream to do this portrait on the beach and at a beautiful Japanese garden. So, they flew me into Orange County and that is exactly what we did! With the assistance of my very good friend and awesome photographer, Michael Erdkamp of Memories By Michael in Villa Park, CA, we began the day photographing this extremely fun couple at the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden at CSULB. Tuyet began the session in a beautiful Vietnamese, traditional wedding gown. Check out the photos below to see her gorgeous dress! She changed into her white wedding gown and we then drove down to Newport Beach to photograph sunset portraits. We had so much fun!  I am so happy with the results of this shoot and was able to get these results because of the care-free nature of Tuyet and Khoi! Even though the wedding day is less than two weeks away, they put all of their energy into making this shoot successful. Amazingly, they were not hesitant at all about getting wet and dirty!!! Below are several highlights!
