Chiqui & Alwyn's Leyte beachfront wedding




Here are my favourite shots from Alwyn & Chiqui's Trash the Dress photo session which was done the morning after their wedding.















On the wedding day, the skies were bright and sunny as we did the makeup and preparation at Kuting Reef.













We proceeded to the church for the ceremony. The sakristan mayor told me that our floral arrangements were the best that he had seen so far, very simple and elegant. The flowers and stands were all shipped in from Cebu. So, his nice compliment made all our effort & hard work worthwhile!




Alwyn & Chiqui wanted an outdoor wedding. But, Kuting Reef staff insisted that heavy rains were on their way and they would not have time to transfer all the decors if it did rain. I stepped in and suggested a compromise. We had cocktails and the first part of the program outside: the Grand Entrance, the First Dance with ground fireworks, and the Aerial Fireworks.


 





Then, we stepped into the grand ballroom for dinner and the rest of the program. About 30 minutes after we were all in, it rained very strongly. So, everyone was happy to be warm and cozy inside. Alwyn & Chiqui were glad to have had the outdoor photos they wanted and my staff was glad to be spared the extra effort of having to transfer our stuff when it rained. It was a perfect solution!

 







I love the big smiles on their faces. Here's a favourite shot of me and Chiqui, after the reception ended.

 Here is what she posted in my facebook shortly thereafter.
