Winnie & Alex Tie the Knot!


Winnie Chan and Alex Hwee were married last June at the Hotel Sofitel in Redwood City.  Their Ceremony took place outdoors on the Outdoor Deck by the Lake, followed by their Reception in the Fountain Courtyard and Ballroom.  The vibrant colors of of the hotel's interiors and the colors of the blue lake and the tree-lined exteriors were the inspiration to their design, painted with sophisticated contemporary hues of cobalt blue, chartreuse and violet.  Images of their majestic day were taken by Ricky Wong of W Photography.

Special thanks to my fantastic team of Wedding Pro's who made this a memorable day for Winnie and Alex that they will never forget.

" May you always need one another, to fill an emptiness, but to help each other know your fullness.  May you want one another, but not out of lack.  May you embrace one another, but not encircle one another.  May you succeed in all importants ways with each other, and not fail in the little graces.  May you have happiness, and may you find it in making one another happy.  May you have love, and may you find it in loving one another "
