A Manila Wedding Photographer | Cherie and Jason

Some may say that as time goes by, feelings fade, emotions turn gray, and directions and priorities change. However, throughout the course of history, it has always been proven that true love stands the enduring test of time. For Cherie and Jason, this could not ring any truer. Having been together for more than two decades, they had their own share of highs and lows, good and bad days, and winning and losing moments. They’ve experienced it all and, most importantly, survived it all—stronger and more deeply in love. Imagine having a relationship longer than Kobe’s NBA career with the Lakers! Now, that’s definitely something special.

Aside from being a solid testament of resilience and love, Cherie and Jason are each other’s polarities. Our groom, Jason, is the dapper and fashion-forward type, whereas our bride, Cherie, is a simple and understatedly chic woman who wore a beautiful minimalist gown that allowed her natural beauty to shine though, with a pair of comfortable sneakers to walk down the aisle during the wedding. Their personalities and styles were like the yin to the other’s yang, with one complementing and perfectly balancing the other. Opposites do attract, and for Cherie and Jason, their differences allowed them to find strength in each other’s uniqueness.

Their story highlights that finding the spark in a relationship may be easy, but the real challenge is how to keep the flame burning, even in times when you feel like all you’ve got left are minute embers that are barely there. I believe that’s the magic of being deeply in love with each other—you will always find something to keep you going every single day for the rest of your life.

When you are in a relationship that dances through whatever life throws at you and makes years feel like mere days because of how you have found the safest refuge in each other, then you know it’s for keeps. Cherie and Jason made two decades look very easy to achieve, and without a doubt, this new chapter would open more wonderful decades ahead of them, filled with love and amazing memories.
