Love was never complicated, and in order for it to come, you just need to let go. With Stephanie and Jonathan, it was a no brainer. Making the right choice, both agreed to finally say I do.
Simplicity at its best, catch our latest and probably one of our most intimate weddings. Glamorous as it may seem, the love was pure and felt as they sealed it with a perfect kiss. We present to you Stephanie and Jonathan.

Boracay Royalty Amanda and Bong : Love the Second Time Around

Director : Raphael Jamil Pranga
Boracay Weddings
Bouquet : Teddy Manuel
Makeup – Ferns
Dinner – White House, Station 1
Cakes & Centerpiece Set-Up – Discovery Shores

Amanda is probably one of the strongest women we know. She handles herself like a true warrior yet with compassion to her clients. She makes every girl’s fairy tale come true by helping them tying the knot with their own prince charming. With this no one deserves more happiness than the queen of Boracay herself.

It was just one Sunny morning, another year of celebration of marriage when Bong and the kids planned to surprise Amanda by popping the question every happily-ever-after girl dreams to hear.. “ will you marry me…again” and just like that, a renewal of vows happened infront of God, family and closest of friends.

Some would say that after a few years of marriage, the love and the sweetness of the couple run dry. But alas Bong proved this as just a mere hearsay for if one’s love is true, it would be like wine, the longer the time, the better and stronger it gets.

Witness a wedding filled with surprise, tears ,laughter and love. No frills, not much lavish decors just pure and strong love of two individuals professing to each other one more time. Cheers as we present Amanda and Bong..in Love the second time around.

“Being someone’s first love maybe great but to be their last is beyond perfect” – Patti

If it is worth the wait, you’ll do whatever it takes. And in this crazy thing we call life, sometimes it takes only a single story to change everything forever. With Jon, it is when he met Patti. Love is not just all about the butterflies. It is also a feeling of being safe, home and waking up everyday knowing you have more than enough reasons to love life. These two lovebirds may not have the smoothest ride but they did everything to surpass the challenges for they believed in their love as they say over and over again, whatever it takes.

Life has truly become a dream come true for both Patti and Jon. Catch our latest wedding video of the very gorgeous and sweet as cupcake Patti Grandidge and the very handsome and renowned Jon Herrera as they start a new chapter as Mr. and Mrs. Herrera.

Yuki and Joey : Love Defined

Directed by : Raphael Jamil Pranga
Vancouver Canada
Photographer : Pat Dy
Special thanks to Michael Wong for sharing his talent with us on that day.

“We all want love.
Some of us are lucky enough to find it.
That true love
the kind that makes you a whole new version of you
A better you.
One that fills your gaps, makes you work on your weaknesses
and gives you whole new strengths.
There’s a kind of love that gives you a whole ‘nother kind of joy.
The joy of knowing you are loved.
That in this huge world, another person decided that you deserved it.
The joy of knowing that no matter what the world throws at you,
you have a confidant, a fan, a shoulder to lean on, a happy smile, a best friend.
The kind of love that comes with responsibility,
to nurture it, to keep it growing, to keep it vibrant,
to keep it just as passionate as it was at the start, yet deep enough to handle those days when the passion dims.
The love that forgives.
The love that accepts fault.
The love that knows that you are ultimately responsible for the happiness of another,
and wants nothing else than to provide that happiness.
The love that leads to heaven.
The love that is heaven.
We all want love.
Some of us are lucky enough to find it.”

Yuki and Joey were sure lucky and blessed that they found each other and fell in love. Sweet words may be uttered but the gestures and the moments stays in our mind and in our hearts. Be captivated as these two define, through this video, what love exactly is. Enjoy!
