Gerard + Krista (Malate Church, 1 Esplanade)
As a UST Growling Tiger, Gerard Francisco has broken our UP Fighting Maroon hearts more than once. Luckily, he hasn’t been breaking any hearts off the court as he married his college sweetheart, Krista.
For their engagement photo session, Krista decided to have a fashion feel for their prenups because she was bit apprehensive that Gerard, the shy type, wasn’t keen on smiling. So together with Madge, Chinkie and a boat load of Francis Libiran creations, we headed to an abandoned mansion in Ayala Alabang.
For the record, we did manage to coaxed a smile out of Gerard:
Now for their wedding photos…
The beyootiful bride:
Gerard and Krista added Jason Magbanua’s Fashion Styling package to their video coverage. For those who don’t know, Jason offers packages that include Photography, Lomography, Coordination and Event Hosting. He will be offering Bridal Car services soon after he learns how to drive. ;D
We have a friend in Peyups who has the biggest crush on Mark Clemence Telan. My question is, why? Just kidding! From the brief time I spent with these guys, Mark Telan has the biggest potential to follow Jimmy Santos’ footsteps.
Gerard and Krista turned one of our photos to a billboard-size backdrop. Huge I tell ya! And we’re loving the colorful dance floor.
I leave you with a photo of a psychedelic Mark Clemence Telan. And if he ever does become the next Jimmy Santos, you read it here first.

I tried to write something about our wedding while the giddy feeling is still there. To try to put down in words how special that day was for us and to somehow preserve it, for us to read again in the years to come. I tried to recall everything that happened from the first day we started to prepare, our first meeting with Chinks, the first time I called to inquire and Mimi answering the phone – leaving me speechless (I was such a fan!), meeting you finally at the bridal fair, our uber-fun prenup at Don EZ Zobel’s house with Madge and the gang, and the wedding of course. To somehow let you know how we both felt about it all, here’s a bit of what I wrote:
“…looking back, we realize that wedding planning is not all technicalities and contracts. When we embarked on that roller-coaster ride of excitement and anxiety, our suppliers went along with us. We didn’t have to hire the most famous or the most expensive. What mattered was how well we got along. Your relationship with your suppliers don’t stop when the lights in the reception hall go out, because, in the end, they are no longer your suppliers… they become your friends.”
What else can I say but thank you, thank you, thank you. Years from now, when we’re old and wrinkly, we will always have your beautiful photos to remind us of our special day. Love you both! 🙂

By the way, special thanks to Jason for letting us get his styling services for free. It was still a test-run. So Gerard was his first guinea pig 🙂
