Familiar with formal Chinese etiquette: mandatory black suit or formal shirt for the photographer (not casual — Chinese families place high value on formality), red-and-gold dress code for Sangjit-Teapai (auspicious colors), and the rigid sequence of ritual timings (Sangjit dowry handover from the groom's family to the bride's at morning 09:00 + Teapai tea ceremony for parents + elders at midday 11:00-13:00 + Western-style reception at night 18:00-22:00 in a luxury hotel ballroom).
