Celebrity Weddings

October this year seems to be packed with celebrity weddings... Doug Kramer and Cheska Garcia on October 9; Paolo Santos on October 11 and Mimi and Karl on October 10.

Yep, it's true! (except the celebrity part, haha) Mimi and I are tying the knot on our twelfth year anniversary! :D Big THANKS to the usual suspects for helping us out on the wedding planning -- Threelogy, Veluz, Madge, Amanda, Ernest. I think Veluz, Madge and Ernest are more excited than we are. LOL

There was no proposal. We kinda decided about it while setting up the Cliquebooth at a wedding. (Anti-climactic, no?) A few text messages later we were all set.

Well we can't claim to be 'Destination Wedding Photographers' if our own wedding isn't one, can we? ;) And so ours will be held in our favorite island, Boracay. :D The ceremony will be at a private beach resort under the coconut trees...

...and the reception will be at Discovery Shores.

And to answer the most frequently asked question of "Who will be shooting your wedding?"...

It'll be Lomo Queen Jill Lejano and Matanglawin Jake Verzosa. Doesn't get any better than that :)
