Living the “expat life” means that you have to pretty much start over every time you move to a new location. New job, new home, new culture, new friends… it can be really tough at times. Perhaps the most sensitive issue is finding friends you naturally connect with. Cultivating deeper friendships can be hard enough when you live in one place, let alone when you’re relocating frequently. But, when you do find true friends, you cherish them because they can make so many of life’s other challenges seem easier. It didn’t take long for us to realize that Cal and Sherry were those kind of friends. Besides being downright awesome, they’ve reached out to us, opened our eyes to a much more enjoyable side of Shanghai, lent sympathetic ears when we encountered frustrations, and are so much fun to be around! We are incredibly thankful for their friendship and we are so thrilled these two have found one another- they are perfect together! We were honored to document their beautiful day, and still have warm fuzzies from having been welcomed so warmly into their wedding celebration!
Sherry and Cal’s balmy beach wedding was simply wonderful! Close friends and family gathered at the Chateau Kenting Resort on the southern coast of Taiwan. With toes in the silky sand, guests enjoyed Cal and Sherry’s heartwarming ceremony, just as the sun began to sink into the horizon. The celebration lasted late into the night, with dancing, sparklers and all sorts of enthusiastic merriment!
Sherry was the most stunning bride… even in her curlers!
Taking a few moments to cool down before the ceremony… it was HOT out there!
Cal and Sherry had a life-sized cut-out made from their engagement portrait session- how cool is that?!
Cute little Hailey was NOT interested in walking down the aisle by herself!
Moving further east we’ve discovered that personal space tends to shrink…
Right as Cal and Sherry were announced as husband and wife, a golden sunbeam burst through the clouds. It was magical!
The newlyweds played this hilarious game to see if the groom could blindly identify his new bride…
CONGRATULATIONS, Cal and Sherry! You are such a fabulous couple and we couldn’t be more excited for you! Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter and adventure together! xoxo
Poor guy. Immortalized in his banana hammock forever and all eternity…
Such a lovely family! Sadly, we were missing beautiful Christina, who was back in the states.
