Favorite part of the wedding?
When I first saw him when the church doors opened. Seeing him for the first time.
First dance was really memorable. Feels good to be the stars of the show.

After Geoff finished his military training, he decided to propose to Alyanna after being together for 3 years and counting. They are both based in Seattle, but they decided to do a destination wedding at Angeles,Pampanga. Most of their guests flew in all the way to witness the wedding of Alyanna and Geoff. We really felt how close knit their families were. The FYAM team really enjoyed shooting this wedding because of the uplifting vibe of the guests. We are so glad to witness and capture a beautiful wedding filled with so much love.

Congrats and best wishes, Geoff and Alyanna!

Cate and Mark got married at Angeles, Pampanga.

Cate and Mark both work as a team in Chicago working at ABC. Cate is a local news reporter, while Mark works behind the scenes as the photojournalist. So you can imagine how my team felt a little bit pressured knowing how talented are our subjects! FYAM team had so much fun with the shoot/wedding as our bride Cate works in front of the camera, it was so easy to direct her being fluent and expressive. We loved every bit of it!

Do watch the SDE!

A few months ago, we got to shoot Ihna and Ron’s save the date video at Sapang Bato. It’s a beautiful place hidden in Pampanga, where you wouldn’t even think of holding your phone!

Ihna and Ron are both into car parts business, telling us more on why they both love off-road driving. A few weeks ago, I got to try camping in the same place, and I can imagine how fun it is to fall in love with someone adventurous than the usual date in the city.

Here’s Ihna and Ron’s save the date video!

Kia and Ric finally tied the knot at Our Lady of Remedies, Clark Pampanga. The reception was held at Fontana.

Wooh, Kia and Ric’s wedding will be memorable for the team. Everything was going smoothly until our car broke down the moment we arrived at Fontana. Well, this didn’t stop us from shooting a beautiful wedding. To the rescue, Mangored Randall generously offered his car for us to use. Even the Veluz team offered! Thank you so much guys!

Jason Magbanua did their pre-wedding video, while we did the wedding film.

Kia requested for “Ikaw at Ako” by Johnoy Danao. HA! I’m a Johnoy Danao fan – so that would totally be a YES! Soo happy we did this wedding. It was beautiful. She was very stunning in her Veluz gown while Ric’s wearing a Francis Libiran. Do watch the SDE!

Backstory on Cristine and Jay(so you won’t wonder why they all had the British accent!):
It was in a cotillion of their friend that they met. Jay knew from the very first day that Cristine is the one. They both grew up in London, but they decided to tie the knot in Pampanga for the relatives to witness their wedding day.

I hate to admit this, but this was another stranger’s wedding that I cried my heart out. I only knew Cristine and Jay during the client meeting but during the wedding itself, it felt like I was part of the whole thing. Maybe it’s because I really felt the sincerity of their happiness on their wedding day.

The only person you can choose to be part of your life forever is the person you’re going to marry. Jay decided to marry Cristine.

While everyone was staring at how beautiful Cristine was, I was there looking at Jay’s reaction. Being a witness, I can tell you that it was my first time to see a groom walking towards the bride while she’s almost near the altar because maybe he couldn’t wait! I think the groom cried more than the bride did, of course it was a good cry.

To everyone who believes in love, do watch the SDE!
