A Vibiana Wedding: Andrea and David

Andrea and David combined Pasadena City Hall portraits, a formal church ceremony, and a red-lit reception inside historic Vibiana.

Andrea Wong and David Wu built their wedding around three distinct settings: portraits at Pasadena City Hall, a formal church ceremony, and a reception at Vibiana.

Burgundy attire and red lighting connected the architecture, cultural traditions, and ballroom celebration into one cohesive story.

Wedding Details and Bridal Portraits

The morning began with rings, jewelry, and quiet bridal portraits. Andrea's full gown looked especially dramatic against Pasadena's columns and carved stone.

Pasadena City Hall Portraits

The rotunda, tall doors, and exterior columns created a formal portrait sequence before the couple continued to the ceremony.
