My first Korean wedding


So, we went to Audrey's brother's wedding. I smiled my way through the various introductions to her family members, and then the wedding began. It shared a few of the typical American traditions, like the bride walking down the aisle to the normal music, and a minister of sorts presiding over the whole thing. However, I would say the major differences were that there was a bubble machine that made bubbles at all the big moments, there was no best man or maids of honor, and the ceremony only lasted 20 minutes.
The photographer was a work of art, performing his job with typical Korean fervor. He had no qualms about walking around throughout the serious parts of the ceremony and just snapping away, getting up close and personal. I took this shot right after he had been giving some tips to the bride in the middle of the minister's speech.
This is right after the bride threw the bouquet. I kind of like this shot.

After a few rounds of pictures it was off to a large buffet. No speeches, no toasts, no dancing; just something to eat and then that was it.
