Alright, take a deeeeep breath 'cause there are a few long posts ahead :-)

Since the first time Linda e-mailed me, I felt like she was a good old friend. She's Swedish and grew up in Skåne. Weng Yen is from Klang in Malaysia, they met in Amsterdam and now live in Sydney, Australia - so I guess you already figured out why this post is in English :-)

Anyway, when we finally met in September it was all fun, both Linda and Weng Yen are so easy going and relaxed! Though it was a long day (about 13 hours of shooting) it didn't seem like that at all, but more like hanging out with friends and a camera :-)

On their wedding day, I followed Lindas preparations. We started out at Larsson & Lange in Ängelholm, for hair and make up. You know they always look lovely to begin with :-D























Linda was a great looking bride, very stylish!





For the first part of the day, Linda wore a Cheong Sam (Chinese dress). Earrings to match...





...and then we left for the tea ceremony at Linda's father's house. This is a Chinese tradition where the younger serve the older tea, and they also exchange gifts and small red envelopes (Ang Paw) with money for good fortune.

(So that's what's going on in this image from yesterday's post)








After the tea ceremony Linda, her sister Sara, and her sister-in-law Sue Ann (whom you've seen before in this post!) went downstairs to prepare for the church ceremony.











Out of one dress and into another...



























And this post I will end with sweet great looking Sara, Linda's youngest sister and Bridesmaid!





There is more to come... I'll be back later today or tomorrow!
