I first took pictures of Pagong and Marn-marn back in Dubai
This was January of 2017 where the desert weather was terribly cold
The next time I saw them was over a year after that
A couple of weeks before they were getting married back in May this year

I’ve been lucky to have the chance to travel back to Dubai on Tuesday
Their wedding pictures are already packed meanwhile, here’s a few of them
 

Marn-marn decided to celebrate her wedding at Montebello Villa Hotel in Cebu City. It is also one of my favorite hotels.

She looks kinda “turkish” doesnt she? Dubai was perfect for their pre wedding->click to view the photos here.

Everytime I shoot at Montebello, I never miss to take photos on that wall. Meanwhile, Patchi and a few giveaways on the right. I ate those chocolates by the way.

Brick walls and old chairs always come in handy for pictures.

It’s a little blurry but that actually is a camel giveaway. I brought that home too! Sorry Marn-marn.

More Patchi! Some I ate, some I gave to Stephen and Jayson.

Look-up, look-up. Close your eyes.

Here’s the mother of the, I meant best woman, Gretul, helping Pagong get ready. The boys are jealous!

Pagong looking left as I told him to. Hahaha!

Good old Black Label before pictures. I wonder where the rest of the bottle went.

Another place for good pictures.

Candid and fun!

Smile or no smile?

That wall again. Hello Pagong! Pass!

Love, love, love. And Snoopy! But of course.

What’s so funny?

Not so funny here :P

Hello Marn-marn. See you in Dubai. Alright?

Contrary to that smile, Marn-marn actually tears up easily. I thought of teasing her but then I saw she was about to cry to I stopped.

Little bird.

Smiling doesn’t always mean you won’t cry when you walk down the aisle.

What’s wrong, Pagong?

And Marco Ruel?

Of course, I teared up a little bit seeing this.

And this.

Pagong’s Papa has those really cool glasses. I wonder where he got them.

Baby, that’s not food.

Lucky shot. Not!

From this day forward…

While the boys were giddy during the first kiss.

Some of the girls were busy,,,,, sleeping.

The last first kiss.

Another thing I love about Montebello are the bougainvillea flowers which are in full bloom throughout the summer.

A light moment before the reception started.

Another blurry shot but I’m a photographer so it’s Art.

So happy I got to be part of this. Thank You Pagong and Marn-marn.

These guys have been together for so long it’s awesome.

Sometimes we close our eyes, sometimes we smile, and sometimes we laugh. Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide, says Britney too!

The reception was setup by Unique Weddings and Events headed by Carlo Abaquita.

Ready, set go!!!

Everybody was on their seats as the winners of the singles game, who didn’t know each other, kissed.

Like I said, see you guys soon!
