We’ve been looking forward to this wedding since the day Alissa contacted me to photograph her and Alan’s destination wedding in China. Even more so when she had mentioned that it would be at The Great Wall of China! The original plan was to have the actual wedding ceremony on The Great Wall but in the end this was just not doable. But hey, we’ll take a wedding within walking distance of THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA any day. Unbelievable! And not only was the location spectacular so were the bride&groom, and both their families. Truly just beautiful people and they made me and AD feel so welcome. Something which we so appreciated. The wedding location was at two truly stunning locations – The Brickyard and The Schoolhouse in Mutianyu Great Wall. Both these locations did a tremendous job at hosting this celebration. Highly recommended! And then of course I have to give credit to the amazing Miyoshi Nakahara and her team for designing such a spectacular event, and MeiLi Autumn for making a already stunning bride look even more spectacular with the makeup&styling. Just a tremendous job on all fronts. And of course Alan&Alissa for the absolute privilige of allowing me and AD the opportunity to photograph their wedding day. Thank you so much guys. We truly are forever grateful! A huge thanks also to Brian Muntz and Murray Elliot at Phase One for the use of their absolutely incredible Phase One 645 DF digital medium format system. I shot the 645DF system with the IQ180 digital back for most of this wedding and was truly just blown away by the image quality. Thank you again gents. More about that in a future post…And then lastly, as always, a HUGE thanks to my brother, friend, and photographer extraordinaire Adonye Jaja for traveling to China with me. He was absolutely amazing as usual. Both as a friend and a artist. So here’s a little sneak peek from Alan&Alissa’s China destination wedding this past weekend. Hope you like what you see Alan&Alissa…
