A Catholic Marriage Journey: taipei wedding photos

This is the 4th day of our Wedding photo taking trip to Taiwan. After a long day before out taking photos, this is a fantastic rest day for shopping and eating!

My favourite Taiwanese dish - Lu Rou Fan 魯肉飯 (Taiwanese Pork Belly Rice)

We ate at a nearby food court near our Hotel @ Sheraton Taipei

Addy ate a dumpling!

Went down to XiMenDing 西門町

Can't miss the Ah Zhong Mien Xian there.

Look carefully at how big the bowl is compared to Addy's hands

She single-handedly wiped out the whole bowl..

My second serving of Lu Rou Fan somewhere in XiMenDing again! Yum!

Some fish cake soup thingy.

Addy at the local pharmacy shop not unlike our Guardian or Watsons.

Here we bought helluva lot of face mask - 我的美麗日記

It's like so cheap compared to Singapore - $0.80 a piece there compared to here.

This is quite hilarious

Night Shopping at WuFenPu 五分埔

It is known for wholesale clothings!

Din know why but we were eyeing some Chinese traditional clothings for our wedding then.

Contact of the shop in case you are interested.

Walked to RaoHe Night Market 饒河街 after. Nice dumpling buns and stuff!

Succulent!

The very first night market in Taiwan!

2 friends we made there

Self sustaining gardens - don't even need water at all!

More food - noodlesss

End of day after finishing up at RaoHe night market.

Took about 2 hours to walk through it.

*This post is long overdue... and I think this post is key in this trip!!

We woke up super duper early on the 3rd day. Think it was about 6am. This was because we needed head to the studio and do make up for Addy.

It was a no-camera day as they forbid it (brrr...) Later we would know why they disallowed it. So hence we did not take pictures until we started photoshoot proper.
The following photos are bought from the studio.

The first place we went to for photo taking was bu pi liao 剝皮寮. It is some historical place with an old house look.
You can see the photographer directing us for one of our poses.
It was sure funny.

Here's me changing into my white suit. With some help.

We had a taxi rented for the whole day. Do note that we have to pay for this ourselves and not included into the package.

The makeup artist is helping Addy with her hair above.

Another of our shots at 剝皮寮

The next place was at Dajia Riverside Park

The balloons.. yes.. we have to ask them to help us buy.

A tip would be to bring as much props as you can for your own photoshoot.

A humiliating moment for the hubby?

nono.. this is even more humiliating.
Can't remember what I was doing but definitely, not peeing.

YangMingShan National Park is touted to be a MUST-GO place in Taiwan for wedding photoshoots.

Because of the scenery.

Walk till my legs were aching. Addy still looks so happy.

Still in the National Park but the weather became bad all of a sudden.

It's one thing that is difficult to anticipate and bad if you are taking photos overseas as you may need to reschedule or make do with the photos you might not want.
