While I was in Manila I was blessed to meet a lot of great new friends.  John Mateos Ong welcomed me with open arms into his group of photographers.  I was grateful to have the opportunity to photograph a wedding with his team while I was in Manila.  I was a Guest Photographer with the crew and really enjoyed working with the team.  Special thanks to Carlo, Erron, and Dominic for being so welcoming and awesome to work with! It was a great experience to see first hand through my camera lens the wedding day and all the Filipino wedding traditions unfold.  

Here are a few of my favorite getting ready & detail shots from the day. More to come…
Here are the cute invitations Marchelle and Michael had.

Some of the wedding details: Bible, cord, coins, matches. I’ll explain the significance later.
