Boyet + Xandra

I am a fan of DIY weddings (I was a DIY bride myself) but this couple really took it to heart! Every detail of their wedding had a personal touch, from the intricate invitations down to the wedding favors / giveaways that they handed out to their guests. It was really nice that the ceremony was held early in the afternoon, so that the guests had a lot of time to enjoy the beach and the sunset before the reception started. Check out the lovely details of Boyet and Xandra's wedding:

I love weddings that are simple, elegant and classy. This lovely couple had a wedding that looks simply yet I know they put so much effort, time and money into making it special. GP and Andi are truly meant (and lucky) for each other!

Joshua + Claudette

I love looking at pretty brides and handsome grooms--they are an awesome formula for good looking pictures! Check out these awesome photos from Nice Print Photography. Finding a charming venue for the wedding plus getting a really skilled wedding photographer will let you have photos that will let you cherish this special moment forever.

When picking out your wedding photographers, make sure you look at their portfolios to find out whether their artistic style suits your taste. Remember, one photographer may be good for another couple but may not be good for you!

I thought I'd share my own wedding portait in this blog! Credits go out to our terrific husband and wife wedding photographer tandem CamZar Photography. Our wedding was held in the city but we are blessed to have a venue that has a lot of greens around it!

Philippe + Cake

A college friend of mine, Cake, who is now based in the UK got married to her French fiance, Philippe, in Tagaytay, Philippines earlier this year. Their wedding photographer: Chestknots Studios. Here are some of their awesome photos. Makes me want to get married all over again! Congrats, Cake & Philippe!

Ryan + Janeth

A beautiful yet simple and solemn church wedding made Ryan and Janeth's wedding very inspiring for me and for many other brides out there. The church was a good choice--it was right beside the Marikina River with open air terraces, allowing natural light to brighten the venue. The photographers must have had a great time capturing moments! My favorite part? The boarding pass-themed wedding invitations!

Church: San Antonio De Padua, Calumpang, Marikina City (Philippines)
