Below is just a sampling of some of the images I made for this year’s procession. Enjoy!

I thought Li-Ting looked absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!

Li-Ting took a moment to preserve her own memories, snapping a quick pic of her bridesmaids right before the ceremony.

Dominick was constantly checking the Philadelphia Eagles score, even just 2 minutes prior to the ceremony….

The couple shared an impressive first dance, and Li-Ting danced with her father immediately afterwards…
