Chiara and Philip

Right Time

Chiara and Philip have been together for 6 years.  Philip is a PBA player for Globalport, while Chiara is finishing her PhD. They both met in DLSU. Chiara shares she was helping Philip with school work, and that’s where it all began.

I remember during the meeting, the mom of Chiara, asked me: “Therese! Are you married?” I replied: “oh no Tita, one week palang kami ng boyfriend ko.” Then she asked again, “what if he proposes to you?” Me: “AHH! Sure na yes po sagot ko.” Then 2 months after, true enough, my husband proposed, and we got married.

But this is about Chiara and Philip’s wedding!

They got married at Santuario de San Jose, followed by a beautiful dinner reception in their house at Greenmeadows. It’s actually our first time to shoot a reception in a house here in Manila. I was surprised at how beautiful the house was styled by Ariel Penarroyo by Big A Prod. I saw it from a plain garden turned to an amazing reception venue. How cool is that? They wanted to get married there, because her brother got married in the same venue. I guess keeping all the best memories in one place is a smart idea.

Do watch the SDE, and look for the cutest twins!
