Azusa and Shuichi's Wedding


What a joy it was to be at Azusa and Shuichi's wedding last Sunday.  Bozeman is so lucky to have these two as part of our community.  Shuichi is the director of the MSU orchestra and his work is praised by many.  Azusa is an incredible pianist who began giving concerts at the age of three!  They met while on the music faculty at a university in Thailand and now have come to settle in Bozeman.
These two talented musicians were married under sunny skies then treated all their guests to a classical music concert during the reception.  Heavenly!!                                                                                                                          They are not only talented musicians they are both truly wonderful people who I am happy to know.  They were surrounded by friends and family including Azusa'a mother who came all the way from Japan with her traditional kimono.  I was somehow recruited to help her tie the obi around the kimono, but it was soon obvious that I wasn't much help and should stick with taking pictures!
These two individuals are set for a long and happy life together (filled with music every step of the way!).
Thank you Azusa san and Shuichi san for giving me the opportunity to capture you love and joy on your wedding day.  I'm looking forward to getting together soon!
