Almost every girl I know has an idea of what her dream wedding would look like. There are beach weddings, garden weddings, ballroom celebrations and even underwater unions. The most important thing is each couple must remember to make it their own. That’s what makes a wedding beautiful.

Upon finding out that the couple were both lawyers, I was kind of expecting a serious and structured affair. I was wrong! That immediately was a lesson on not judging a book by its cover! This wedding is sophisticated but fun, with a mix of traditional and modern. A timeless celebration indeed!

The photographers Jorem and Sheila Catilo did wonders with the details of this wedding, capturing the romance surrounding this fairy tale affair.

And they lived happily ever after.

From the bride:

It was no joke putting together a big wedding like ours. We had about 700 guests! On top of that, we had demanding jobs as lawyers, so preparations had to be squeezed in between our perennially full schedules.

That said, I loved how our wedding turned out. I give credit to all our suppliers who made the daunting task a happy journey worthy of looking back to. I like how our dynamics with them developed—in that way, they saw Julz and I as a couple and were able to execute our personalities into their respective tasks.

In the end, I got my dream wedding: beautiful, moving, elegant and yet so fun.
