Tea for Two / by Zack Wussow

I was so excited for Kathleen and Peter's wedding. They asked me to photograph their "east coast reception" - the fourth and final part of their coast-to-coast celebration.

We met at Taste of China in New Haven, and started with a bunch of posed photos with all their guests. Despite the iffy weather, we found a great spot in the restaurant to set up groups.

Then it was time for the main event - a wedding tea ceremony where Peter and Kathleen prepared tea and presented it to their family elders, who in turn presented them with gifts in red envelopes and blessings.

Before I left, there was time for a few couple's photos. I will admit, I was skeptical when Kathleen's Maid of Honor suggested the nearby alley as a photo spot, but it did not disappoint!

A really fun day and a new experience for me! Thanks for having me, Kathleen and Peter. And congratulations!
