Thao and Brice celebrated their marriage with two ceremonies at the Ebell Long Beach, honoring both Vietnamese and Western traditions in one day. Every detail of their celebration reflected thoughtful intention, from the moment guests arrived to the handmade keepsakes they took home.

The personal touches made this wedding truly special. Table greetings featured illustrations of the couple's beloved cat, while DIY natural florals and fresh fruit centerpieces brought organic beauty to each table. Perhaps the most memorable detail was the handmade ceramic teacup that every guest received, crafted by Thao herself—a meaningful keepsake that perfectly captured the care and creativity woven throughout their day.

The Ebell's Spanish Colonial architecture, with its dramatic archways, intricate tiled floors, and elegant lanterns, provided a sophisticated backdrop for their day.

To ensure Thao and Brice could be fully present with their guests on the wedding day, we planned a separate couples bridal session. This approach allowed us to create thoughtful, artistic portraits without pulling them away from the celebration or compromising the natural flow of their timeline—a choice that let them soak in every moment with the people they love.
