The Tides of Love

April 22, 2013 / Posted by in Real Weddings, Video

We’ve been seeing a lot of photos of outdoor weddings, so today why don’t we bring life and movement to these images? Here’s an amazing video by Mayad, capturing beautiful moments under the sunset, loving embraces on the shore, and heartfelt vows in the presence of God and family. Happy were the tears and smiles seen all throughout the clip, showing us a window into Ray and Vera’s friendship and love story–a winning combination in my book! I can’t help it, exchanges like these leave me teary-eyed and breathless. Then the hopeless romantic in me is let loose for about five minutes and revels in the music, the shared affection, and the love found.

Pay attention to the detail and delight over the crafts and bouquets, arranged by the Midas touch of Vatel Manila and {etc} Handmade Goodness.

It’s a sunny Monday, and it’s a marvelous day to fall in love.

Pastel Pleasantries

April 18, 2013 / Posted by in Real Weddings

If you are a hopeless romantic like me, then you’ll love what we have for you today! We just love that spring-themed weddings most often mean soft colors, warm sunlight, and the kiss of fresh air. These also perfectly describe Nath and Lai’s wedding. Having a love for the outdoors and sunny rays, this couple celebrated an oh-so-beautiful affair  that makes us giddy with delight. It was a day of charming details indeed. And I definitely pored over the beautiful calligraphy, handmade boutonnières and decor, and light dainty dresses–all in pretty pastel hues!

Swim in a sea of colors cool on the eyes with this set from Toto Villaruel. Enjoy!

Celebrity Engagement Shoot: Jon Herrera and Patti Grandidge

April 17, 2013 / Posted by in Engagement Shoots

When the movers and shakers of today’s social scene decide to tie the knot, it’s almost impossible not to take notice. You know it’s going to be a visual feast of style, beauty, and pure fun. Such was our excitement when we heard about Jon and Patti’s engagement shoot with MangoRed! Jon Herrera a.k.a. Johnny Verse, and  Patti Grandidge, model, TV host, and the face behind Sweet Patti Cakes, are such distinct individuals in their respective fields, and we love how each frame brought that to life! Their passions and personalities shone through, and yet it wasn’t about the clothes, nor the venue, nor a certain theme–it’s just all about Jon and Patti. And what that leaves us with is nothing less than a we’re-so-in-love-and-it’s-pretty-awesome kind of engagement shoot!

Finders Keepers

April 15, 2013 / Posted by in Engagement Shoots, Video

Let’s just finally admit it, we are all hopeless romantics. Shown a moderately cute love story, we break out in a smile. Shown an amazing SDE and we are beside ourselves with tears! It’s okay, it happens. Especially when we chance upon videos like this one of Cinemaworks in collaboration with Cherryblocks for Ron and Anna’s wedding. The light spills give just that dramatic flair to the sweet nostalgic atmosphere enveloping the couple, and the musical scoring is just pure brilliance! So yes, it’s impossible not to get wistful-eyed and short-breathed! We totally think it was amazing that both pictures and video were artistically-crafted, making us want to star in one ourselves. Oh, to be in love… it feels like you’re on top of the world doesn’t it?
