Shot with Jamie Lihan and Benjie Tiongco for Imagine Nation Studios
Preps, Ceremony and Reception: Shangri-la Hotel Makati

Before Allen and Anne migrated to the U.S., Anne used to attend the weekly bible studies with our growth group, P.I.N.C., in GCF. Although Anne and I have been part of the group since 2006, we weren’t very close; it was only during the prenup shoot and the wedding that I actually got to know her a lot better.

Allen and Anne are both a few years younger than me, but they could teach me a LOT about relationships. They’ve been together since college and endured a long-distance relationship for two years. They’re the sweetest couple I know and you can feel just by looking at them how much they really love each other. It was only apt that they scheduled their wedding on Valentine’s Day (and Chinese New Year. Hehe).

One of the things I like about Christian weddings is that part where the couple gives a message to their respective parents:

The very bibo ring bearer, who sang during the reception (then later on went to the stage and had his pic taken with the couple):

Allen played the piano. Before the wedding, I had no idea he’s excellent at it! I also didn’t know he used to sport long hair. Haha. The clean cut suits him better though (and Anne thinks so too. Otherwise, as she said, she wouldn’t have agreed to become his girlfriend in the first place. Hehe)
