Our Deluxe Thai Buddhist Weddings



The Deluxe Buddhist Wedding is our most popular Buddhist wedding. As it provides just about everything, a couples wants on their special day with their Traditional Thai wedding and it also provides the best value for money.

This is a befitting full day. The Thai wedding starts at day break, with the traditional morning offering to the monks, as has been the tradition for centuries  it is a truly essential part of any Thai couple getting married. This most definitely will be captured by your professional wedding Photographer, who will spend your wedding day with you to capture the bride and groom looking radiantly happy through out their special day.. During your wedding he will take about 600 photographs or more depend on if you have any guests and how many guests you invite. Remember this is not a tourist theme wedding, but a true and proper Thai Buddhist wedding, so lots to experience and capture on film (pixels -more correctly) . The images will be given to you in very large jpegs  on DVD's no need to haul loads prints back home. You have the right to printed as many copies as you like back home. We don't hold them ransom, as so many wedding photographers still do in the west!

You of course have a videographer to record your wedding for prosperity and the enjoyment of family and friends that couldn't make it (or you didn't have to invite). The "videoman" does not record the morning offering as, it is preferred by the monks not to have bright lights first thing in the morning, but your Videographer will be with you for the rest of the day and through evening as well. It will make sure all your friends that see it are envious of your Thai wedding in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
