Choose a traditional temple with a garden courtyard, ideally with bonsai trees and ornate architecture, to provide a culturally rich backdrop that complements the ao dai.
Ensure the bride's ao dai features red and gold embroidery with a matching khan dong, and the groom's ao dai is blue with a black khan dong, paying attention to fabric quality and intricate details.
Embrace the rich contrast of reds, golds, and greens by coordinating the attire with the natural surroundings; use the golden hour light to enhance warmth.
Plan for golden hour and capture candid interactions like the bride adjusting her sleeve or the groom's tender gaze to add authenticity and emotion to the portrait.

The ao dai is a traditional Vietnamese garment consisting of a long tunic worn over trousers. In weddings, it symbolizes elegance and cultural heritage, often in vibrant colors like red for the bride and blue for the groom, adorned with intricate embroidery.
A khan dong is a traditional Vietnamese headpiece, a circular turban-like wrap. The bride's matches her ao dai, often in red and gold, while the groom's is typically black, completing the formal traditional look.
Golden hour provides soft, warm light that enhances the rich colors of the ao dai and creates a romantic atmosphere. It also adds a gentle glow to faces and highlights the textures of the fabric and garden.
Use a full-body composition from head to toe, with the couple centered. A 35mm lens captures a natural perspective, including the complete ao dai and the temple setting without distortion.
