ceremony and reception : ackerhurst dairy barn, omaha, nebraska

Apart from their amazing photobooth, there were many other awesomeness that made Brian and Ngoc’s wedding unique and fun.

Brian had planned for Katie, the hairdresser to deliver the diamond earrings to Ngoc as a surprise gift when she arrived for her hair appointment. It was probably one of the sweetest thing I’ve ever witnessed.

Those Badgley Mischka shoes. I mean, look at those shoes!

And of course, the very beautiful bridal party. Cheers for unconventional bridesmaid dresses! And double cheers for buying your own suits and vests instead of renting them!

The details at Brian and Ngoc’s wedding were impeccable — the paper cranes escort card holders, the handmade boutonnieres, the beautifully decorated site were just a few to mention.

Gotta love a couple that does high fives before sealing the deal.

MyChoi - Mwahah! I get to be the first to comment and tell you, Ai Ling, that your images are what weddings are all about. They don’t just emote, they conjure up all the poignancy and brilliance of the day. YOU are the crispy rice noodle in the vegetarian salad of life!

emily - What a beautiful wedding! They have impeccable taste! I actually teared up a little at the first sight kiss, and those lantern shots are basically to die for. Cooooooool!

Ngoc - I don’t know what to say!! They’re BEAUTIFUL and I LOVE them! You captured all the emotions of the day so perfectly – thank you so much for coming all the way down and doing such a wonderful job! I can’t tell you how grateful I am. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING is perfect (down to the song of the slideshow!. THANK YOU…(*tear* – hahah!)

Laurie Payne - Putting aside that I am really partial to the groom, I think this wedding was special because it was so unconventional, leaving room for true drama and artistry. Ngoc and Brian and Rene and Dan and all the people who came through, from the little cranes to the parking signs, made that happen. Now your special eye will keep that happening for all of us every time we look at the pictures. Thank you so much.
