{ a beautiful afternoon affair } karl+vanessa | manila wedding

it was a beautiful afternoon, when karl and vanessa finally put an end to their boyfriend + girlfriend relationship. ready for bigger things to come, ready for the greater challenges to face.

yes, it was indeed an afternoon of beautiful things. witnessing this kind of relationship that matures with their relationship to our Creator is something different. everything was in place, the venue was enveloped with beautiful natural light, highlighting the masterpieces of vatel manila inside its home – the mango farm. we were also surrounded by beautiful people, only bearing the best smiles and warmth.

beauty for most of us is physical. but for us who finds beauty in many things and lucky enough to see them in every wedding that we do, we define beauty beyond physical. mostly, our clients would ask us “what makes a wedding beautiful?”, referring to the neat details to add, to the special effects to put or simply the kind of material to use. for me, beauty is about the experience. it is not just what your eyes could see, but it is what your heart could feel. karl and vanessa, are truly the manifestation of that beauty. their kindness to {us} their suppliers radiated the whole event, which for me that kind of beauty is the most difficult to describe.

enjoy!
