I had the incredible honor of documenting a vibrant and heartfelt Cambodian wedding in Charlotte, North Carolina. This celebration was nothing short of extraordinary — a multi-day event filled with rich tradition, beautiful attire, and unforgettable moments.
The festivities began with a pre-wedding portrait session at the stunning Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. The lush greenery and blooming flowers created a serene and romantic backdrop, perfectly setting the tone for the days to come.
Throughout the celebration, the couple and their families wore a variety of traditional Cambodian outfits, each more stunning than the last. Intricate details, vibrant colors, and meaningful accessories brought cultural beauty and significance to each look.
Multiple ceremonies took place over the course of the wedding, blending traditional Cambodian customs with modern elements. Each ceremony honored family, heritage, and the sacred bond between the couple — it was a joy to witness and photograph every detail.
The final evening culminated in a lively reception with special guests, heartfelt toasts, and lots of dancing. The energy was contagious, and it was clear how deeply loved and supported the couple is by their community.
Capturing this wedding was an experience I won’t forget. It was a celebration of love, legacy, and the beauty of blending old traditions with new beginnings.
