[katie and andrew]

In August, my sweet niece Katie tied the knot with Andrew, a very funny and all around great guy that she has been working with in China for the last couple of years.  Their wedding incorporated a lot of elements of the Chinese culture as well as preserving their down to earth personalities, including origami flowers made by Andrew, a tandem getaway bicycle, red chopsticks at the reception and a parasol.  They put the entire wedding together themselves with a ton of help from Katie's sister, mom, grandparents and aunts and uncles.  I was incredibly honored to photograph their wedding and I share it with you as proof that it doesn't matter what you spend on a wedding, so long as it reflects who you are!
