From looking at the pristine grounds at Barclay Villa on Sunday April 17th, one could not have guessed that tornadoes had ripped through our area just the day before. Every inch of the gardens and grounds were immaculate and the sun shone on Lan Li and Kuan Huang for the day.
Lan and Kun began their journey to this day seven years ago. They have seen each other through college, graduate school, new careers, and many MANY travels. As they entered this next phase of their lives, they called upon us only a few short months prior to their wedding. When we met in February, they had the venue and the date. Everything else was brought together in less than six weeks. We fused various Chinese traditions with the couple’s style and American influence.
From the ballroom entryway lined with their photographs, it was clear this day was meant to share their growing love through the years and to celebrate their promising future together. Considering photography was so important to the couple, they hired Walters and Walters to fulfill this large task. James Walters and his assistant were there for every moment. He was able to capture at least one moment with the bride and groom per guest! James is so skilled that his photography never disrupted or interfered with the great energy in the ballroom and on the dance floor thanks to Eighty-Seven Sounds and Entertainment. Randall mixed American top hits with Chinese pop and the guests couldn’t get enough! Rocky Top Hospitality added to the event by providing the bride and groom and their guests with a beautifully prepared meal. After a sparkler departure, the guests dissipated and allowed for Lan and Kuan to share intimate moments on the grounds. Lan wore a traditional Cheongsam for her nighttime photos with her new husband.
