The first time I spoke to Alison, I knew I was speaking to a remarkable person.  Both she and her beau at the time, Drew had attended Princeton University.  The couple had graduated and are embarking on their bright futures.  I learned they had taken Chinese together at Princeton.  In fact, Drew even taught English in China for a year before they married.  Alison’s very compassionate and caring way, complimented her choice to become a doctor.  In fact if you were to meet Alison, you would probably compare her to Audrey Hepburn, because she exudes elegance and compassion.  If you ask me, they make a perfect match.  Naturally, they chose Princeton campus for their wedding day.
There wedding was very elegant.   The reception and Chinese Tea Ceremony took place at the Princeton Marriot Hotel. Alison changed into a gorgeous red gown to honor their relatives by serving tea.  What a beautiful way to show respect.  Alison and Drew’s first dance was to the song “I won’t dance” which was awesome!  Drew needed some coaxing to dance:)  Guests danced the night away to the music of Elegant Ensembles.
Alison and Drew- thank you so much for allowing me to capture your day.  It was a pleasure.
