Chinese Wedding Photos

While out walking in Datong, China, we stumbled upon a Chinese wedding photo session. We learned that in China it’s typical for couples to take wedding pictures a month or two before the wedding, knowing that the two full days of wedding festivities will not allow much time for formal portraits of the bride and groom.  For the photo session, the bride and groom apparently borrow outfits in order to have multiple costume changes.  We were lucky to catch the bride while she was wearing the traditional Chinese wedding color–red.  It was a lot of fun to watch, and I snapped a few pictures of the photo session in progress.
