REAL WEDDING: { JUANCHO & GEMMA } MANILA

-- 

We're opening this marry month of May with this beautiful gathering. In this age of over-the-top weddings, it feels great to see something more classic and restrained. From that graceful gown by Rosa Clará to the beautifully calligraphied invitation suite to the lush blooms, there's an old-world feel to this whole celebration. Kudos to Verse Studio for capturing everything so elegantly. Hope you guys get inspired by this new post! ^_^

ENGAGEMENT: { POOYONG & AIRA } BUKIDNON

-- 

More than an engagement session, this was really a homecoming. When I found out during the course of the wedding preps that the Groom, Pooyong, was a student of my Mom, I immediately thought that a prenup shoot in this place would be the best thing to do (read my emotional writeup HERE) - and really, where else would you see such a unique landscape but here? Such stunning vista! 

-

It's only recently that shoots have been allowed and for decades, this place has been off-limits to 'outsiders' (meaning, those who do not work for the company). I was actually surprised that we were able to do some things that I vividly recall would not have been possible many years ago like walk on the golf course or even talk loudly. I guess we were lucky that it was Summer and the place was practically empty. Still, we're thankful to have been given the chance to be here and appreciate once more the beauty that is Cawayanon & its environs. Enjoy this set! ^_^
