Manila Marriott and Palacio de Memoria wedding | Andrea and Joey

I first met Andrea and Joey at the family farm for their pre-wedding shoot, and by the end of that afternoon, I already knew their wedding day was going to be something special. There’s a certain kind of couple that makes everyone around them feel at ease — that was them. So when their intimate wedding day finally came around in the cool, quiet highlands of Tagaytay, it felt less like a job and more like being invited into something deeply personal. Simple, unhurried, and full of real feelings.

Andrea co-owns a bridal boutique, so naturally, she came prepared — five looks across the day, from her prep robe to her after-party dress, with a main gown, prep dress, and reception look in between. But what struck me wasn’t the number of outfits; it was how effortlessly she wore each one. There was no performance to it. She just knew who she was in every look, and Joey watched her the same way all day — quietly, completely.

The ceremony happened in a garden under a tree at Palacio de Memoria, and it was exactly the kind of moment that makes you put the camera down for just a second to take it in. Seeing familiar faces from the farm shoot in the crowd made it feel even more like home. Andrea and Joey, you were stunning — individually and together — and I feel so lucky to have photographed three chapters of your story. Here’s to a lifetime more.
