Their wedding ceremony was held in the old senate chamber in the Old Capitol building and it was beautiful. The smiles on their faces tell it all. Chuan and Ye are so happy and in love, they radiate joy! Before the ceremony began, they shared a slideshow of their journey together, including photos from the proposal. Chuan proposed in his apartment. He had selected the Tiffany ring months before. On the proposal date, he made a path of candles that led to the circle of votives. He had hung balloons and a sign saying “Marry me” on the walls. He also bought Ye her favorite pizza for the dinner. So sweet!!

When asked what they love most about each other, Chuan responded that he loved the uniqueness that makes Ye who she is and Ye responded that she cannot pick just one thing. She loves that they can spend every moment together doing anything and feel like family, never tiring of each other.

Then we stopped at Hancher and the art building. The evening light was perfect and the heat of the day has started to subside. A perfect time for portraits. I love the architecture at both of the buildings we stopped at.
