Patty & John | Wedding

Patty & John’s wedding was quite different for me. The entire ceremony and much of the reception were spoken in Korean and it completely changed the way I saw things for the day. I couldn’t rely on hearing beautiful words and anticipating a reaction, everything was visual, and it was incredible. One thing I know for certain is that love and laughter translate in every language!

Everyone got ready at the Shangrila Hotel in The Rocks. While I’ve done a few first looks in the past, it was the first time I’ve had a bride and groom actually get ready together. Admittedly, John left before Patty got into her dress, but it was very sweet to watch her putting on his bow tie :)

The ceremony was held at St Mary’s Cathedral. Only a few weeks after Kami & Stephen’s wedding there!

We then headed down to Mrs Macquaries Chair for a few more with the big landmarks.

The reception was in the Grand Ballroom at the Shangrila Hotel.

The reception incorporated a traditional Korean Tea Ceremony. So much colour!

John had to carry Patty around the room as a symbol that he would always take care of her.

One thing for certain, the Koreans know how to party :)
