So many heartfelt moments happen during the tea ceremony. They’re an opportunity to express gratitude to the loved ones who have supported your journey as a couple. Incorporating a tea ceremony alongside your Western ceremony and reception is a beautiful way to share your cultural traditions with your guests. What truly matters is that you feel connected to your roots, proud of where you come from, and surrounded by the people who mean the most to you.

What vy & cal had to say
It was an absolute pleasure working with Debs. She took great care of us - like a friend would.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Debs. She took great care of us - like a friend would - from the pre-shoot briefings to the day itself. Deb knows how to make a photoshoot fun and memorable, without giving up her close attention to details and to our preferences. It was helpful that she was able to provide as much direction and creative input as we needed. It became clear to us, following our NYC engagement shoot with Deb, that we wanted her to be a part of our Sydney wedding. On both occasions, we were thrilled by the photos Deb had produced - priceless moments captured with so much heart. We are so grateful to have found her on our wedding journey.
