Hsinyi & Kevin (03.15.09)

Hsinyi and Kevin met online in 2006, and a week later had their first date - a cup of coffee that turned into a three-hour breakfast.  The rest, as they say, is history. Hsinyi is originally from Taiwan, but moved to the U.S. in 1999 for graduate school.  It was very important to both she and Kevin to reflect both of their cultures in their wedding day.

Hsinyi and Kevin were married in a beautiful ceremony at The Lightner Museum Courtyard in St. Augustine.  Our friends at The Wedding Authority provided the chairs, decorations, and officiant, which makes weddings at The Lightner so wonderful.  The following photos are by Nikki McEneaney, Photography By Nikki, except for a few snapshots as noted.

I grabbed these two snapshots with my camera after completing the setup at The White Room - what an elegant reception!  The delicious cake was created by Arlene Fores of Sweet Weddings.

The beautiful centerpieces were created by the bride's mom, who is very talented!  Each table was numbered with Chinese characters rather than traditional English numbers.

Hsinyi and Kevin danced the night away to the tunes of The Faze.
