Rustanto Wedding | Anaheim Packing Distrcit

I        Tea Ceremony: A day filled with family, love and travel... Richard and Bella had their wedding on April 18, 2018 which started with a traditional tea ceremony at their home in Pomona. Bella is originally from Indonesia, where her family still resides and made the 20 plus hour flight from Jakarta to celebrate the special day, which we are so glad they did. The culture and energy everyone had was amazing, and the food blew us away. Indonesian food is one of the most vibrant and colorful cuisines in the world, full of intense flavor featuring spicy curried meat and vegetables such like gulai along with a plate full of rice was beyond our expectations. Eating with her family before the day kicked off, and hearing about the city they lived was an awesome start to the day.

II      The Ceremony: Holy Family Church, where Bella and Richard regularly attend in Pasadena was the location for their I do’s in front of family and friends. After the ceremony inside we took to photos in front of the catholic church where cars honked, and random strangers shouted their congratulations at the newlyweds.

III   The Venue: From Pasadena Bella and Richards family filled the car with multiple long vans and were on to the next location, we followed along as we made our way to the Anaheim Packing District.  The room was filled with hanging bistro lights, urban light wood tables, and stunning flowers from table to table. The Packing District offers a hugggeeee selection of different food and vendors. We have visited before and were shocked that such a large foodie restaurant could be turned into a wedding venue, and it was stunning!  The venue that Bella and Richardgot married at was separated from the food hall and perfect for intimate weddings in the heart of Anaheim.

IV   The Celebration: After a few toasts and continuous good food and drinks, Bella and Richard displayed their musical talents by singing and playing the keyboard in front of their party. A combination of 5-6 songs that all tied into one another for the very end, with perfect pitch and harmony. Shortly after them surprising and shocking their guests, the bridal party had a surprise of their own. Sitting them down and dancing to Psy – Gangdam Style.

V     The Cheers: To an awesome day and even more awesome couple, we wish you nothing but the best, enjoy the photos and memories from your amazing day! It was so cool being able to drive to all three locations and capture unique perspectives of all locations. From the tea ceremony with your aunts & uncles parents & grandparents to the final celebration on the dance floor, Thank you for having u be a part of your wedding. Congratulations!
