where to begin? okay… ryan and i had the pleasure to meet trihn, albert, and trihn’s mom 2 days before the wedding at their “2 days before session”. it was fun and we immediately loved them, be we could not have imagined how much FUN their actual wedding day was going to be! it was an intimate church wedding with only the closest of friends and family, with dinner following at the ever-so-fabulous ocean club. seeing these 2 families interact was truly a pleasure. so much love and excitement filled the air that night. after cocktails, hors d’oeuvre’s, and fun family shots on the deck we proceeded inside into a private dining room. trihn’s family INSISTED that julie, ryan and i sit down and enjoy dinner with them. we tried to refuse, and they had to really twist our arms but we finally agreed (anyone who knows me knows by now i’m full of it). dinner, of course, was AMAZING! after dinner, i’m not sure that dancing was on their agenda, but a band was playing and i really wanted to get a shot of trihn and her handsome father dancing. trihn and her dad happily obliged and the entire family joined for several more songs out on the dance floor. i boogied right along with them even as i was holding the off camera lighting (something i’m getting really good at)! thank you sincerely to the vu, johnson and extended family for a wonderful evening that we won’t soon forget. ~xoxo erica
