Seascape


It's a gloomy weekend but as February closes to an end, Summer is definitely right around the corner. And what better way to usher-in the new season than with a Beach wedding. 

There's something about Singapore-based couple Jessa and Alvin's wedding that feels so understated. For one, their choices of colors -- dark navy blue, grey, green, and white are not the usual beach wedding colors.  But it works and we definitely love it. Ghost chairs on the beach instead of Tiffany or lily chairs, metallic mismatched with organic details. All exuded a level of minimalism, modernism, and maturity that had its own air of sophistication. 

This was a wedding that was very subtle in the details. The effect is absolutely stunning. 

Aiza & Liza -- "We Choose Love"


"A lot has been said (and STILL being said) about the kind of life we choose to live. Yes,we are OUT and PROUD. We are not standing up for anything, we are just exercising our right to be treated equally. If you're not used to it, then DEAL with it. If you can't stand it, then by all means, PLEASE leave us alone. Our silence doesn't mean that we accept your prejudiced opinions, it's just that your ignorance has rendered us beyond words it's almost funny. LOVE---the beauty of it, the joy of finding it, even the PAIN that comes with it should be experienced and celebrated. We choose to be REAL. We choose to be HAPPY. We choose to be FREE. We choose LOVE."

Wedding Agency: Rosette + Oli = Ethan's Splish Splash Wedding

Photography by Benjie Tiongco 

I can still remember our client briefing with Rosette, Oli, and their son Ethan like it was just yesterday. In truth, it's been almost 3 years ago. 

Our inspiration when we think of ideas for our clients can come from anywhere. In Rosette & Oli's case, our inspiration came from Ethan himself. 

Rosette & Oli's wedding was to be a beach wedding in the city. Out of the three concepts that we initially proposed to them, there was one that immediately resonated with them so well--not because it was full of creative ideas but because it revolved around being a family. 

True enough, when I saw their official wedding photos for the very first time, I honestly didn't even care about the creative details. What got me emotional and almost teary-eyed was the most priceless wedding element of them all---Ethan, and his relationship with his mom and dad. 

Here are some snippets from their Wedding Agency Walkthrough:

Ariel & Hannah - The Beach Life

I lurrrrve beach weddings! I am partial to beach weddings! But there's some sort of template or look that kind of becomes similar when it comes to beach weddings. But more and more we're seeing a lot of rebellious beach brides who are pushing the envelope in terms of evolving what is expected of a a seaside ceremony. Take for example Ariel & Hannah's wedding at the very serene and beautiful Playa Azalea in Samal Island. Ariel & Hannah embodied in their wedding, the ideal "beach life" -- waking up in the city, hopping  on and hopping off a boat if you wanted to have lunch in the island at any given time if you wanted to. It's the best of both worlds and you'll see that reflected all throughout the wedding: Garden meets Sands. Chic meets Laidback. 

Jmie + KC's Virgin Beach Wedding

There are all kinds of rebellious weddings. It can take many, many forms. But my favorite rebellious weddings are those of the subtle kind. Rebellious in the devilish little details. That's what I loved about Jmie and KC's beach wedding at the Virgin Beach Resort. No, there were no obvious blacks or a pair of chucks just to prove the point of being 'creative'. The rebel streak just kind of oozed in the gown, it was in the most amusing wedding gift ever imaginable, it was in the most organic looking wedding rings, in how the bride opted to walk down the aisle, in what the bridesmaids wore. Things that don't necessarily scream rebellious because there's no need to. Because rebelliousness is innate. It doesn't have to be proven. It just kind of shines through. It's just because it's who you are so there's no need to overdo it. But it's there. You know the rebel is there, grinning inside of you.
