This Wedding on a Hill in Davao Is Definitely an Inspiration!

There’s nothing more romantic than having an intimate wedding amidst nature. Imagine being surrounded by a scenic landscape, lush groves, and sunny weather to match! Al and Laurine exchanged vows in a nature resort, not far from Mount Apo, in Davao City. They opted to keep it raw, warm, and relaxed as they set up their cocktails in a picnic-style, outdoor set-up with pillows as chairs. While their ceremony was only a few steps away, the bride walked down the aisle in a breathtaking open terrain. The tranquility of nature paired with rustic decorations and appetizing refreshments, it was indeed a flawlessly put-together wedding on the hill. If you’re planning on the same wedding vibe, you’ll love these photos from Diko Project Photography.
