Dara & Yanin: Beautiful Traditions
Having sat through a number of traditional Cambodian weddings (my own included) I know from experience how much work and effort goes into planning one. Most Cambodian weddings are anywhere from 1 full day (12+ hours) to 2 or even 3 days depending on how many ceremonies the bride and groom decides to incorporate.
When Dara and Yanin asked me to photograph their wedding, I was honored. I was beyond excited for them. I knew I would enjoy capturing their wedding day regardless of how tiring it would be but what I did not expect was this newfound appreciation for my culture and what each ceremony symbolizes. I was viewing the day through different lens and seeing things in a new light. All the beautiful details, bright colors, and generations of tradition being passed from one generation to the next and I realize this is why it’s all worth it.
