Sorry for posting this sneak peek so late. Although they have already got all the images, I still hope to blog about this wedding, which is really a unique wedding that I have covered. It’s my first time to cover a real wedding in the far East Coast. Thanks Chuanzi & Jianjia for flying me such a long way and booking the best hotel of the town for me. It’s my first time to cover a wedding on universtiy campus for young PHD student couple. It’s my first time to cover a wedding that none of the parents can make it because of the visa issues, but they have about 50 guests coming from all over the county, most of them were their college classmates from China but union together in the US to celebrate their classmate’s big day. Chuanzi & Jianjia are college school mates from USTC (University of Science and Technology of China), they fell in love in the third year of college, and both came to US for PHD degrees. Chuanzi is in Virginia, and Jianjia is in Wisconsin Madison. The 2 years long distance is a challenge. But they successfully keep their chemistry and stepped into the next stage of their life. That’s why all their formal USTC classmates drove from such a long way here to witness this moment, some from Boston, some from Chicago, some from Washington D.C. Well, I am from San Francisco. I am very honored and lucky to be their wedding photographer, and to build friendship with all these lovely students.
When I first heard the wedding is in Virginia Tech, to be honest, I was a little bit scared. But when I received Jianjia’s hand written letter, my sixth sense told me that this is a wedding that I shouldn’t miss. When I got to the beautiful virginia campus, it was such a big, green campus located in a peaceful town, blacksburg. Weather is very similar to bay area, very cool at evening time. And it has very nice and long daytime. Sunset was not unitl 9:00PM. They showed me around the beautiful campus after the rehearsal at of school church. And Chuanzi, Jianjia, the best man and maid of honor were decorating the reception site until 5:00AM, they almost didn’t sleep before the wedding day. Everything was hand made and planned by Chuanzi, such a great job and effort. Chuanzi can definitely be a wedding planner after her big day.
Let’s sneak peek some photos first, I will post the slideshow when they have picked their favorite photos:
Chuanzi & Jianjia, hope you can have chance to visit San Francisco in your vocation, you are very welcome to stay at our small but cozy house, I will show you around the beautiful San Francisco as well. I am sure that we will see you again.
