Jon Tran and his bride paired a traditional church ceremony with an evening reception at Imperial Palace Banquet Hall.

White florals and black formalwear kept the visual palette classic while blue ballroom lighting transformed the reception after dark.

Church and Courtyard Portraits

The couple photographed against red brick and shaded walkways before entering the church. Clean architecture and soft natural light kept the early portraits timeless.
