Stephen + Camille | Bohol Destination Wedding

We love Jason Mraz’s new song. Thankfully, Stephen and Camille’s destination wedding last week in Baclayon Church and Amarela Resort (both in Bohol) was just as gorgeous and intimate and emotional. It was a day filled with equal amounts of laughter and tears, but all in all overflowing with love. Good vibes!

Mark + Candice | Hong Kong Pre-wedding Session

We took time out of the busiest wedding month of the year to drop by a much cooler Hong Kong around Christmas time a couple of weeks ago to shoot an E-session. In the midst of the Christmas rush, Mark and Candice roamed the streets of HK Central like lovers do. They also left an impression in Kat Hing Wai, an old town whose history dates back 500 years down to the Ming Dynasty. Here is the clip of Mark and Candice’s photos from their E-session. Happy new year guys!

Ojay + Karen | Hong Kong Pre-wedding Session

Ojay and Karen are both from San Francisco, but they were both in Hong Kong for work when we got the chance to shoot their engagement photos. They have lived here for the past few months and these streets will now remind them of the glory days leading up to their time to walk down the aisle when they go back to San Francisco in the middle of next year.
With every turn of the corner of these streets in every photo, a familiar sight, a warm feeling, and a sense of nostalgia. What a way to remember these sweet times! Ojay and Karen… what a great couple.

Jamie + Cheska | Shangrila Mactan Cebu Wedding

Among all the weddings we’ve covered at Shangri-la’s Mactan Resort & Spa over the past couple of months, Jamie and Cheska’s stood out the most for us for all the right reasons. It was hands-down the most relaxed shooting experience for a wedding day we’ve had in quite some time. We actually had fun and it shows in the photos.

It helped a lot that the people around us were not stressed out about everything. Jamie was a happy groom, cool as can be, and Cheska was a glowing bride while being her usual perky self.

And oh, ain’t the car cute?! A yellow beetle! Very funky!

Paul + Criz | Asya Premier Boracay Wedding

They dubbed this the Crizpy wedding. Crizpy for Criz and Paul. From that alone you should already be able to tell that this is special.

Paul and Criz might have spent most of their lives, even their formative years, in Dubai but they’ve retained that special Filipino warmth and quirkiness in them. It’s not hard to imagine how that could happen seeing that they are surrounded by a very close-knit group of family and friends, most of whom were more than willing to fly from Dubai (with some even flying in from other countries) down to Boracay just to witness these two finally tie the knot.

Rennel + Charlene | Cagayan Destination Wedding

We found ourselves happy to be back in Cagayan de Oro last June for Rennel and Charlene’s beautiful destination wedding.  We loved the venue they chose for the prep and the reception, the Marco Hotel, and the other wedding details were also elegantly put together.

Planning their wedding, a destination wedding at that, was a challenge for them because Charlene was already US-based. As a result, Rennel had to be a hands-on groom.  But from the way he worded out how the wedding day would all turn out, with all the details he described, we could easily tell that he enjoyed the whole process of planning and was happy to do it for his bride.

Rennel cried when Charlene walked down the aisle.  Knowing him from our meetings and from the e-session, we expected that to happen!  What we didn’t expect though was the surprise proposal by his brother Reylan to her now fiancee Dyan. Lucky for us, I guess it’s safe to say that we will be seeing more of Rennel and Charlene next year =)  Arigatou gozaimasu!

Jamie + Cheska | Say I Do

We are so excited to post a full feature on Jamie and Cheska’s beautiful wedding yesterday at Shangrila Mactan Cebu.  But before that, let’s have a look at their cute engagement session in Cebu.

Jamie’s very shy and Cheska, well she’s not hahaha. They wanted something fun for their e-session so we thought we’d play with stop-motion again. This was quite fun!
