Ana + Anthony : Iloilo Wedding

https://vimeo.com/199033876

From centuries-old churches like the St. Anne Parish Church – the biggest in Iloilo – to important historical landmarks such as the magnificent Nelly’s Garden (formerly the Lopez Mansion, which is said to be the island’s queen of heritage houses), Iloilo is home to some of the Philippines’ most prized cultural spectacles. And that’s where ANA + ANTHONY brought us to document the most important moment in their lives.

To say that they are dream clients is an understatement. Both Dubai-based and active in Singles for Christ, Ana + Anthony have been a joy to work with. Although most of our communication took place online, they trusted us entirely to cover their beautiful wedding. It was our first time in these locations and we have nothing but love and gratitude to Ana + Anthony for the opportunity and also for the experience!

DIMPLE + JOHN: Boracay Wedding

 

Every wedding that we are honoured to cover is always special. This event – the wedding of DIMPLE + JOHN – is particularly special to the team for three reasons. One, because it’s on Boracay Island. I mean, how can you not love Boracay when it is one of the best places to married in? Two, because we get to be part of Dimple + John’s love story. Three, and most importantly, because the Eduave siblings are special to us and this is the third wedding in their family that we’ve been part of.

It was a grand wedding set on one of the most beautiful islands in the world. From start to end, the sheer splendour of the event is enough to blow anyone away. From the boho-inspired welcome dinner the night before to the wedding day itself, everything was impressive and well thought-out. Truly, it was a wedding to remember and an event that will hold a very special place in our heart!

DIANNE + ORBILLE: DAHILAYAN WEDDING

Many people think that finding true love amongst billions of souls searching for the same is extremely hard. Some give up, while other keep on. But you see, when we let God handle the reins of our hearts, the search for true love isn’t only going to be easier, it’s a guarantee. And this is exactly what DIANNE + ORBILLE did – they let God and here they are, tying the knot.

Our US-based groom and our Iligan-based bride exchanged vows in an emotionally romantic wedding in chilly Bukidnon. It was raining when we arrived in Dahilayan, but when the ceremonies were about to begin, the sky opened up and bathed the event with sunshine as though it was God’s gift to Dianne + Orbille. God was with them during that moment, and He will be for the rest of their married life.

MARLON + AILEEN: Same Day Edit

Both based in the US, MARLON + AILEEN came home to tie the knot in front of God, family, and friends in a beautiful wedding celebration held at the Malate Church, while reception followed at the Century Park Hotel in Manila. Though we constantly stayed in touch online, we personally met the bride the day before the wedding. Since the start, you could feel how excited she was for her wedding. But what amazed me is the fact that for someone who’s based in the US for a long time, Aileen is still very fluent in Bisaya, and during the wedding, she was also very fluent in Chinese. Their close-knit families, on the other hand, had been so accommodating to us and very supportive of the couple. Here’s their wedding video by The Digital Eye.

ARVIN + CHOLYN: Same Day Edit

As they say, if something’s too good to be true, then it’s not true. In the case of ARVIN + CHOLYN, however, there is no such thing as ‘too good to be true’ for what they have found in each other is too good – it must be true.

Both lawyers, Cholyn is with the Public Attorney’s Office, while Arvin is the City Legal Officer of Dipolog. Experts in fighting for other people’s rights, they are now faced with their biggest case – fighting for their love. “I will continue to hold on to my promise of keeping with you faithfully throughout this lifetime. I will honor the vows I make today and hold you ever so fragile in my heart,” the groom declared.

The wedding was successful. Perfect, as people would say. It was quite apparent how well-loved they are by their loved ones, because despite the long journey to Bukidnon, the event was well-attended by family and friends who came all the way from USA, Qatar, Dipolog, and Pagadian; and prosecutors, lawyers, and judges from Zamboanga del Norte. All of them have gone out their way, literally and figuratively, to show the couple their love and support.

The Digital Eye is very grateful to have been blessed with wonderful clients like Arvin and Cholyn. It has been lovely working with them, just like having friends around in a fun shoot. We would also like to thank Dr. Cherrie Lou Pepino who had been present from our first meeting with the couple and all throughout the planning and preparation phases.

To Arvin and Cholyn, we have nothing but good words for the both of you. You are a match made in heaven and your wedding was nothing short of spectacular. We pray that you remain in love all the days of your love and wish you the best in your new journey “to a lifetime of love and adventure without end.” Congratulations!
