There’s something magical about witnessing a couple in love, embracing their culture and traditions while adding their unique touch to the celebration.
This was precisely the case with Wing and Joshua’s Tinghun, a Chinese tea ceremony that marks the engagement of a couple.
Tinghun ceremonies are often seen as ultra-traditional and old-school, but Wing and Joshua managed to bring a breath of fresh air to the occasion. Both of them looked stunning, dressed in modern yet traditional outfits that honored their Chinese heritage. Wing wore a beautiful pink dress, adorned with intricate petals, while Joshua donned a sleek, tailored suit with Chinese-inspired details.
One of the most striking aspects of Wing and Joshua’s Tinghun was the abundance of light-hearted moments throughout the day. The couple’s playful banter and laughter were contagious, creating an atmosphere of joy and happiness for everyone present. Instead of adhering strictly to the solemnity often associated with traditional ceremonies, they embraced the opportunity to celebrate their love in a fun and lighthearted manner.
At the heart of the Tinghun ceremony is the tea service, where the couple serves tea to their elders as a symbol of respect and gratitude. Wing and Joshua performed this ritual with grace and poise, taking the time to honor each family member individually. The exchange of tea and blessings was a touching moment, showing the love and support that enveloped the couple from both sides of the family.
It was a true honor to document Wing and Joshua’s special day. From the tender moments shared between the couple to the joyous laughter of their families, each photograph tells a story of love, culture, and the beauty of tradition.
We have no doubt that the love and happiness shared on this day will continue to flourish throughout their lives together.
Congrats Wing & Joshua, and thank you for having us on your tinghun! See you again soon!
