This wedding was a special one for me to be a part of because I've known Angela since she was a little girl. She was this sweet little girl in my neighborhood who would hang out at my house to color in coloring books and play with my old Barbies. I've watched her grow up into such an intelligent, beautiful, remarkable young woman and getting to photograph her wedding day was such an honor. After the high school senior photos, the college grad photos, the engagement photos, and now the wedding photos all I can say is... Mrs. Angela I'm so glad your family moved in across the street from me 20 years ago.

As you’ll see below, Angela wanted to honor her Laotian heritage by doing a traditional Laotian ceremony in her parents' home. Dominic and Angela have been together since high school, but this was a new way for their families to unite even more. It was a beautiful time of bringing together two very different families in a loving and authentic way. I'm so thrilled for Dominic and Angela and their life together.

The Laotian ceremony took place a few days before Angela and Dominic’s wedding day at The Barn at Sycamore Farms, in Arrington TN. The day was beautifully sunny and everyone was ready to celebrate these high school sweethearts and their love.
