pei + weijun :: married! wedding photography by silverbox

pei and weijun, how can i express my gratitude for the privilege of photographing your wedding?!

for those of you “silver lining” readers who don’t know pei and weijun, i think you’ll fall in love with them just like i did!

both are from china, earning doctorates in the united states.

in their short time here, they have amassed a mountain of friends.

and you can see why from their pictures . . . pei and weijun radiate joy that envelopes everyone around them.

their wedding day SCHEDULE was a dream come true (future brides and grooms take note)!!!

~theirs was an AFTERNOON reception (from 2:30 – 4:30 pm) enabling us to make pictures of just the two of them in downtown columbia in the evening during the best (i.e. golden hour) light of the day;

~pei tossed her bouquet OUTSIDE the church as part of their grand exit from the reception;

~pei and weijun delegated beautifully! friends were involved in every aspect . . . ushering, reading, coordinating the reception, overseeing the catering. it was a team effort that allowed the couple to enjoy the day.

take a look at the results of these scheduling day decisions by scrolling down at some favorites AND by watching their wedding day slideshow by clicking here.

I love the picture above by annika of pei laughing with her parents (who traveled here from china for the wedding)!
it’s one of my favorite family photos ever.

the left picture below, of pei and weijun exiting the church, was made by cait brady who has begun assisting us; it’s FANTASTIC!














the photo below, by annika, may just end up on a wall in columbia’s Mississippi Fish Shack restaurant! stay tuned for that.


wow, our international couples have been delightful! there is a special spot in our hearts for our couples from afar. in addition to our u.s. couples, we’ve now had brides & grooms from poland, canada, china, scotland, turkey, england (have I missed anyone?) AND we look forward to more international adventures!
