A Bright Sunshine-y Day with Ces

It was a bright and sunny day on the 30th of November, 2012.  One of my beautiful brides was getting married that afternoon.    The wedding preps were held in Sofitel, Manila.  I really love the view of Manila Bay from this hotel.  And the warmth of the sun just made it more beautiful.

Her name was Ces 🙂

What a gorgeous bouquet!

Ces was such a pleasure to work with 🙂  Such a genuine person and her family was so warm and made the atmosphere a happy one.  And she’s an Assumptionista, just like me! Hehe…

She just wanted a very simple and elegant look for her hair and makeup  🙂  Here is Ces getting ready to leave for the Church.

It was so nice meeting Ces’ wonderful family especially her lovely sisters and mom 🙂

Hair and Makeup of Ces’ sisters were also done by Miss Helen and yours truly 🙂

Here is Ces being photographed by Wally Gonzales 🙂

Final touches by the very talented, Miss Helen Egan, from L’oreal Professionel 🙂

I apologize for this super late post but I will never forget Ces and her family. Thank you, Ces, for making us part of your big day!  I’m always grateful for that chance.

All the best to the newly weds! 🙂

Congratulations, dearest Maite and Drach! I wish I were able to see you walk down that aisle!  I am so sure you rocked it with our Adele-inspired look! hehe  Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of this wonderful day!  You looked fabulous! 🙂

Lovely afternoon in Manila.

Off to CCP for the wedding reception 🙂 First time to attend a wedding reception here in CCP! 🙂 So cool!

Heading up to the fourth floor.

Lots of artwork in the hallways 🙂 I want wings for my makeup chair, too! 🙂

Found our seats.

Little trees as centerpieces. Awesome! 🙂

Peach Iced Tea

The menu for the evening by BIZU. Please forgive me for not taking photos of the food. I was enjoying dinner so much, I forgot about my camera. The food was excellent!!! Just read the menu 🙂

Congrats, Efren and Tessa!!! 🙂

Just one row of tables 🙂

I was able to capture dessert 🙂 Creme Brulee in an eggshell on a bed of marshmallows. So yummy!

That was a wonderful and very memorable wedding, Efren and Tessa! Thank you for making us part of this beautiful day! Wishing you all the happiness in the world! Now, the marriage begins and it’s the best! 🙂 Love you both!
