Cambodian Wedding - Looking for infomation

[nathan_tia]

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>Does anyone have a portfolio or gallery example of a traditional Cambodian wedding? I would love to learn more about their custom and ceremony, and how photographers tackle that situation. I see some online after searching but they are just snapshots or non wedding photographer pictures. Thank you.</p>

<p>No gallery examples, but memories: there was traditional dancing for the couple, who were seated a seated under an awning. After the dancing they remained under the awning with their hands clasped on a table in front of them; family walked past the table and placed flower petals on their hands until there was quite a mound of them. It was a lovely experience. </p>

<p>I lived in Cambodia for 6 yrs and attended a few, but never as a photographer. They go on all day.<br>

I wouldn't worry about it, there are huge opportunites for great shots. Just get in there and shoot.</p>

<p>They go on all day... reminds me of Irish weddings. Been to plenty, first one I failed to pace myself - started drinking at 1:30pm and had my last at around 2:00am the following morning. Luckily for me I wasn just a guest. Learnt my lesson...</p>

<p>Went to one about 14 years ago.... All day affair - a lot of clothing changes (at least at the one I was at) and if memory serves me right - A lot of opportunities for great images. </p>

<p>The only thing that threw me (as a guest) was the reception food line where no one thought twice about sticking their hands into the food and pulling out what they wanted...</p>

<p>Hi all, thanks for the feedback. So it sounds like I have a lot of time to frame shots and get images since the ceremony is dragged out over the course of 2 days. Cool, and ummm really long. I am going to have to pace myself and bring lots of memory cards. I am talking to the bride this week about the progression, so a lot of this will fall in place after my conversation with her. Was just hoping to see some images.</p>
