Tough times come and go, but tough brides and grooms are a different breed of beings, especially the ones who will defy mornings just to get married. Justin and Ann Margaret – conquered the morning, conquered the pandemic, and conquered our hearts with their wedding story. Because all you really need is #JUSTanANNsweredPrayer.
Delayed, but NEVER DENIED. Because Your Wedding Story is Much More Greater Than ANY FORM of Pandemic. Indeed, a long wait for these two, who – by the way – became three, with their son, Matheus Luke!
Vien is the sister of our onsite photo editor, Victoria. We got to know Dustin when he drove for our team in one of our Tagaytay weddings. When we got news about their plans of getting married, me and my wife got really excited. It’s really an honor and a pleasure shooting for our dear friends, and nothing can ever replace being trusted to tell their wedding story, no matter how simple or complex they may be.
Weddings in Tagaytay are totally-unpredictable, like it’s weather. We had a wedding earlier the same month as Ron and Viena’s, filled with sunny and cloudless skies. With theirs, it was a bit drizzling, so we had to step up to the challenge of retaining every wedding detail we had to shoot.
From the original plan of having a Sofitel Wedding like Kevin and Ingrid’s, the pandemic hit Archie and Ivy hard, that they had to postpone. Eventually, the perfect time came, and we were able to shoot their wedding – maybe not the Sofitel Wedding they had hoped for, but a bigger, better one – at Casa Grande Flora.
Kaye gave Benj a Big Skinny Wallet, and in return, Benj gave Kaye some cookbooks. It’s like Benj saying “You cook for me.”, and Kaye saying “You buy me what to cook for you, then.”
Never in our entire career in shooting weddings did we imagine that we’ll be shooting a MARVEL Superhero-inspired one.
We have covered a lot of weddings, and we have told a lot of wedding stories – maybe not a ton, but a lot. We thought we have seen it all, but Matthy and Carla’s Wedding still surprised us with how one relative “attended” their wedding.
Mark and Kate, possibly one of our bravest RWP couples (mainly because they are both frontliners), with their wedding story is an inspiration, to every soon-to-wed, amidst the pandemic. Proof that #LoveIsImmune, and that Love is much more greater than any form of pandemic.
With adversity comes opportunity. Beforehand, Paolo’s words encouraged us to take this awesome challenge, saying he had full trust in our team, no matter what the situation we are put in. The rest of the day was full of bliss, as the entire team went head-on with the ceremonies and the reception.
