The story
Berkeley City Club held the full day: a first look and private vows, terrace ceremony, Korean paebaek, dinner, tea ceremony, several changes of clothing, cake, and dancing in the Venetian Ballroom.
Berkeley City Club
The building supported multiple traditions.
The terrace, Member’s Lounge, courtyards, and Venetian Ballroom allowed the ceremony, paebaek, tea ceremony, dinner, and dancing to have distinct settings without transporting guests around Berkeley.
The day did not ask several traditions to compete. Each had its own time, clothing, objects, family participation, and emotional temperature.

Clothing changes were chapters, not interruptions.
The timeline made space for transitions before the Korean and tea ceremonies. That protected the meaning of each part and let the photographs show the change in color, gesture, family roles, and atmosphere.
Why this story matters
A multicultural wedding needs coverage across the room.
The central action matters, but so do relatives explaining a ritual, guests watching it for the first time, the people setting the table, and the release afterward. Two perspectives helped keep those layers connected.
