Every post I do is special. I carefully select photos, sequence them in a way that will tell the story in the most genuine way, and then I write from the heart about the fondest or the craziest thing I can recall from the whole experience. Most of the time it’s not really about the photos, but about my time with each wonderful client that I encounter.
Today’s feature is a special of a special. A Valentine’s day post should count for something, given that it is the holiday most related to what we do – although ‘lndependence day’ is more appropriate for certain couples. Today’s Valentine post does not only feature one of the most beautiful and most beautiful people-filled wedding I’ve ever shot, but it also happens to be exactly one month to this day when this wedding happened and just for good measure, it is also Karen’s birthday. Talk about hitting multiple birds with one stone – this is just more of hitting multiple hearts with one post.
I don’t think I can justify enough describing how amazing this wedding of Karen and Roy is, that’s the reason I had to post this today. My bond with them doesn’t really go way way back, yet it goes back, far enough for it to be filled with the most joyous episodes that by the time we are all in Cebu celebrating this event, the trio of superstar stylists Gideon Hermosa, Michael Ruiz, and Teddy Manuel (more excitingly known as GMT) was already on-board doing their first ever wedding together (in Cebu nonetheless); I’m already familiar with most of the friends and families – at least by names and via social media; and I’ve connected deeply with Karen and Roy. Those are reasons enough to imagine how amazing and how anticipated this wedding was.
The photos are what brought me and Karen and Roy together, but it is all the experiences that we had, culminating to this wedding, that will keep our friendship together. I hope you all enjoy this special Valentine’s day post.
