Cerritos Wedding : Debbie & Kingston
Tuesday, 27 Apr 2010 | Wedding
Cerritos, California
Prince Seafood
Debbie and Kingston chose Prince Seafood in Cerritos as their Los Angeles wedding ceremony and reception venue, which made perfect sense since based on their Chinese heritage. When I think of Debbie and Kingston, I think of joy. I absolutely love how they both don't hold back when expressing their happiness. Although this couple looks sweet and friendly, which they definitely are, don't be fooled. They are both students of the Chinese martial art of Kung Fu. In fact, I am told Kingston has attained the level of black belt and instructs martial arts.
One of my favorite parts of this Chinese wedding was the Lion Dance. Skilled acrobatic artists don colorful lion outfits and perform for the bride, groom and their guests. Drummers beat out rhythmically as the lions dance more and more frantically. There is one part where the lions eats a head of lettuce dangled from a pole by the couple. It was a wonderful treat for me to witness this exciting ritual.
Based on the images I captured at their wedding, I feel confident Debbie and Kinston have many years of joy and happiness in store for them.
These bride and groom key chains were absolutely adorable.
Kingston may be a tough martial arts instructor, but he has a soft side as well.
See how delightful Debbie and Kingston were to work with?
Did I mention how Debbie and Kingston are so expressive? Debbie was so tickled with the lion dancers.
They sure know how to have fun. I love their free spirited attitude toward life.
Debbie is definitely not shy about showing her affection for Kingston.
The Chinese dresses worn by Debbie were so beautiful and ornate in their design. This dress had sentimental value as it was the wedding dress worn by Debbie's late mother.

These are beautiful photographs Michael. This looks like it was one festive wedding. The bride was so beautiful. I love the photo of the guest who is holding the baby and you can see the bride and groom taking a self photo in the background with another guest. May they always find this joy in each and every day.
