Mark and Giselle: Destination Wedding Photographer (Manila)

Mark and Giselle. They have known each other for more than a decade, been together for 6 years and finally tied the knot on February 2014. You ought to forgive me if I say that this is by far, the best wedding I have ever attended. Heck, the groom is my brother! As a matter of fact, he is my only brother and he is the youngest child in the family. But don't mistaken him as a spoiled brat for he is very responsible, caring and loving son/brother. Giselle, on the other hand, is actually a neighbor. I have liked her from the start. She is a beautiful, smart and classy lady; the qualities of lady that I know my brother really likes. 

Enduring the 16-hour flight from Los Angeles to Manila was totally worth it! Everyone had fun during the wedding and you can hear praises from the wedding guests on how well-planned this wedding was (Thanks to Tita Lyn and Tito Mon for doing almost all the legwork). While the wedding couple hired an army of photographers and videographers, we can never let this celebration passed without snapping photos.But you have to forgive us though if there are some off-angled/lighted photos. Having only one camera and one all-around lens, we just sneaked in and snapped whenever an opportunity comes because we don't want to get in the way of the official photographers. And yeah, we are part of the bridal party too! Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy these photos as much as we did.

Special Credit to Clayton Vidal for creating the gorgeous wedding gown. Monique Lhuillier (albeit a fellow Filipino) and Vera Wang gowns are steeply-priced and IMO, over-rated. But you will see at the photos below that Cecilio Abad Team's creations are just as competitive. Among all the vendors from this wedding, Clayton is my favorite. Not only that he helped me fix the strap of my dress (which came from another designer) but he is very humble, kind and need I say creative?
