{ angela + fong | turnip rose wedding }

One of my most favorite part of weddings are the emotions. I feel like a wedding day, aside from being many things, is a big permission slip to shout from the rooftops exactly how you feel. Emotions that are intimate and quiet and perhaps even overlooked on a day-to-day basis, are allowed to roam publicly, perhaps for one of the few times in your life, big & loud & free. That people actually get to proclaim in wide halls and giant courtyards in front of hundreds of people, that yes, I love you and I will always love you. That feelings of joy & gratitude are expressed explicitly among family and friends, hugs are given liberally, thoughts are shared without hesitation.

Angela & Fong’s wedding was just this, laden with beautiful emotion. It was not just a joining of two people who are obviously so so in love, but was the creation of a new family, of Angela’s son gaining a father and Fong gaining a son. Every moment was so beautiful and real and it was an amazing day to document!

The gorgeous flowers were done by Kim Sanders of Art with Nature.. I always love LOVE working with her!

A beautiful first look…

Love this moment of Angela’s dad sending them off lovingly right after he handed her off…

And this one where the officiant asked Angela & Fong to look over at their parents.. her dad was just so full of excitement & joy for his little girl! :)

Below has to be one of my very favorite wedding moments ever.. it was right after the recessional when everyone was giving hugs and sharing words of congrats. In the midst of the excitement & unbeknownst to the wedding party, Angela’s son had started shedding tears of happiness for his mother & new family. When Angela caught him, she looked down in surprise and said “are you crying..?” and gave him the sweetest embrace. It literally had everyone in tears, including yours truly and each & every groomsman :)
