Brian and Wig’s wedding finally! Gosh this wedding was filled with miracles. One big miracle was the weather! We were at the center of a signal number 3 storm just the day before the wedding. People though have been praying hard! And we woke up to bright clear sunny blue sky the next day! God is awesome! The venue of the wedding was nothing more than spectacular! La Playa was a sight to behold with every nook and cranny designed artistically and tastefully! A sort of Bali style mixed with intricate Filipino architecture. We had tons of fun shooting the preps and details! Well enough talking and let’s get on with the pics! This will be a long post! Enjoy!

Here’s the onsite slideshow:

Welcome to paradise!

Did I say that we absolutely had a blast shooting the details?

I met Wig back in Isabela about 3 years ago as we stayed in their house during a youth camp that I volunteered to help out.

Brian on the other hand I met back in a singles retreat that I attended in 2006. He has super long hair back then! And he became my breakout leader.

Wig’s gown was actually from her sister. Beautiful!

I love beach weddings!

Here’s Brian all excited!

This is an occupational hazzard that I sometime face in my line of work.. bwahahaha!

Now it’s time for Wig to finally walk down to the beach!

When a father hugs her daughter just before they walk down the aisle together, time kinda stands still for a few seconds. One of my favorite moments to capture and I think a lot pips captured it too!

The sun was setting just perfectly!

I love classic portraits by the shore.

The reception was a blast too!

A father’s last dance with his daughter.. It was a tear-jerker for Wig

The couple’s first dance

Whew that was a long post! The next morning we had breakfast with everyone by the beach. Everyone was wearing white and we gathered them up the rocks for a group shot.. yowza!

Currimao, conquered!  Thanks for the memories!

I didn’t know that it was Franco Laurel’s daughter that was celebrating her debut; until that afternoon. With stellar talent and passion for the theater arts running in the veins of this family; we were treated to a mini concert shoot that evening. Oh fun! I love the lighting of the ballroom as it was professionally done and it looked amazing on camera.

They are certainly a fun-tight family!

stupendous grand entrance!

The mom and daughter duet

What a party! Thanks for making us a part of it!
