This Couple Successfully Planned Their Dream Wedding While Apart

July 25, 2021 / Posted by in COVID-19 Intimate Weddings, Real Weddings

Chris was in New York while Alessa was in the Philippines, and the goal was to plan a beautiful intimate wedding. How did they do it? Through Zoom calls, texts, and FaceTime. Just like everyone else, they had to navigate through the changing IATF guidelines and were consistently checking to see if the travel restrictions have eased. They admitted that the changes made their planning experience both exhilarating and stressful but everything paid off when their wedding came out beautifully!

“We cut the wedding really close! We completed all our marriage seminars, Chris’ Barong fitting, learned our couple’s first dance, picked up our marriage license, and PCR tested all our guests for COVID-19, all in the span of a week!” -Alessa, Bride

Look through the snaps of Toto Villaruel and Nicolai Melicor and spot all the gorgeous details in this intimate wedding of Chris and Alessa.

This Couple Made It a Tradition to Celebrate Their Love Every 5 Years!

July 24, 2021 / Posted by in Anniversary

Marriage isn’t always easy, but it is something well worth fighting for and celebrating often. Today, Roger and Anna invite us to witness how they live by these words through the photos by Thal Ruin Photography of their wedding anniversary. The couple started their own unique tradition of celebrating their marriage in the company of loved ones every 5 years. The reason behind the tradition is “to recognize the love of God that has transcended in our marriage,” shares Anna. For this year’s celebration, they chose a modern Filipiniana theme paired with tropical elements to represent their vibrant personalities. It was an intimate gathering that honored family and gratitude at the center. We just love how all the details fell into place and everyone donned such elated smiles. As you scroll through the photos, do take a page from Roger and Anna’s book and never run out of reasons to be grateful.
