Growing up going to some of the same schools, Kim and Kevin have known each other much of their lives. Attending UC Berkeley together, their relationship has grown ever stronger over the years, strong enough to survive having to live many many miles apart for the past few years to finish their medical programs. They’ve waited a long time for this day, to celebrate what they have with their friends and families.  And so, on a perfect sunny late August day beside the redwood grove at Piedmont Community Hall, Kim & Kevin exchanged vows and rings, and became husband and wife.

Beginning with a Vietnamese Tea Ceremony at Kim’s home, followed by a Chinese Tea Ceremony at Kevin’s home, it was an incredible day and we are thrilled to have had the honor of capturing it! With so many beautiful moments, I’m going to have to split this one up into a few posts. This first one includes a few of the many highlights from their tea ceremonies, their preparations, and their first look and photo shoot. Congratulations Kim & Kevin! Enjoy this first sneak peek and I can’t wait to show you more!

We loved Kim’s absolutely stunning wedding gown with its long train!
