A Chinese Wedding - Waterton Park & Maxi's Restaurant

















Ka Wai and William actually got married in the sun in Cyprus, but they had also arranged a traditional Chinese wedding here, complete with tea ceremonies and a Chinese banquet with its many courses. This was almost like a reunion for us, as we have previously filmed several weddings for the family and so we know many of them well, but on this occasion we had been booked to undertake the photography. The day started at Waterton Park Hotel near Wakefield, where Ka Wai and her family had spent the night. This was the venue for the first tea ceremony and some photographs before we moved onto the home of William's family in Wakefield for the second tea ceremony. This was followed by a short journey up the M1 to Maxi's Restaurant in Leeds, where we were joined by their many guests - and a dragon - for the banquet. The bride always changes her dress during the meal, which gave us the opportunity to pop outside for some final photos of the happy couple.
