Shaina and Mark

Pandemic and Weddings

“Everything was challenging, but despite the challenges, seeing how beautiful everything came together made everything worth it.” -Shaina

Shaina is my batchmate in ICA high school, while Mark’s from Xavier. We reconnected and planned the whole thing 2019. But guess what? Pandemic happened, and now, I’m so glad she finally got to say yes, and we were able to shoot it. This is our first SDE for the year. We were scared to pull one during a pandemic. But Shaina requested, and I guess we just took a leap of faith. It is still scary to shoot during a pandemic, but we were able to do it. We all know how many times the dates changed, and how hard it was to finally decide on a venue. FYAM is truly happy to be back in the wedding scene once again. Pandemic really hit hard, but glad to finally be able to have some weddings here and there.

Fast fact about the two: Shaina and Mark have been together for 18 years, and they met through common friends via YM. ☺
