It’s a special day today. It’s my wife and I’s 15th anniversary, it’s a Friday, and really, it’s just special for any good reason we can think of.

But let us also say that it’s special because it’s the day we finally release the full feature of the official and the exclusive photos of Tanya and Vhong Navarro’s wedding in Kyoto Japan last weekend. We have released a slideshow early this week, but today’s post includes more than twice the number of photos. And let’s be honest, there is no better way of appreciating photographs other than at one’s own pace and without any music accompanying them.

This wedding was kept under wraps for a few good reasons and, I must say, that it was both thrilling and excruciating to experience that. Imagine, in our initial discussions with Rita Neri’s group (which by the way, did an impeccable job in Kyoto), we don’t even utter Vhong’s name, just clues. And during our prenup shoot in Vietnam, we try to pretend we don’t know Vhong and Tanya when Filipinos are around because some might figure out that photographers plus them equals prenup shoot and prenup shoot, well, equals wedding. Haha.

But last week, the big surprise was finally shared with everyone. A day before the wedding, Tanya and Vhong decided to give everyone a ‘clue’ by posting a teaser of their photos from Vietnam. And then the day after, the most beautiful I’ve seen in Japan, Tanya and Vhong officially got married. The event was not as thronged with people as one might expect from a celebrity wedding but it was filled, nonetheless, with not only the biggest names in the business but also these same people are the closest to the couple. It was a wedding that’s truly a joy to be a part of and we have Tanya and Vhong to thank for that. We’ll let you find out who all of them are and everything else that happened at the wedding in the photos below. Enjoy.
