A Traditional Thai Wedding
A Thai Wedding is not your average photo assignment. There’s a lot of pre-planning that goes into these projects. Not matter if it’s a small wedding of 50 to 70 people or as big as 300 to 600 people. The attention to detail, prep and organization cannot be compromised. As a photographer you need to be on top of your game from the moment you arrive. As we were setting up our new life in Thailand, we unexpectedly had an offer to photograph a traditional Thai wedding. This was an exciting proposal, it would be a new experience a traditional Thai wedding.
At a Thai wedding we needed to make sure we captured the true cultural experience of the occasion.
The only thing I really could not plan for was the heat. Being dressed in formal attire taking photos in 35 degrees Celsius temperature is not at all comfortable. It was even hotter inside the house with monks praying with chants, family members filling up the room burning incense really turned things up. Unfortunately for me that’s when I began sweating a lot and feeling a bit embarrassed. If anyone has any suggestions to combat the heat please let me know.

The water pouring is the most important part of the Thai wedding ceremony as during this part the couple officially become husband (สามี [saa-mee]) and wife (ภรรยา [pan-ra-ya]).
