The colours change but the ritual remains the same. 

I was invited to photograph this couple as they entered the Shrine, 

The wedding party sat in a row facing the doors and  lit their sticks of incense. 

The bride and groom made their offerings

 Went outside and released tiny birds for luck

Formal portrait of the bridal party. 

Photographers were on hand at the gates but I don't know whether they are there by prior arrangement or just hoping for business,

They leave for Angkor Wat for their next round of wedding photographs.  

A wedding planners dream come true, a fabulous backdrop for ones wedding photos.

 

I think these traditional costumes definitely look better from the front.  Not too keen on the dress shoes and socks either.
