A lot of factors play when you are planning for a beach wedding-- flights, manpower, hotel bookings, tides, direction of the wind, weather and… well, the weather.

Stephen and Malou have been really blessed to have the perfect weather to experience the ceremony, reception, fireworks and sky lantern that they wanted. But more than that, we were glad to see that they got what they really desired for their wedding day, and that is to be surrounded by the people that they love.

Yes, the magic of the paradise might have helped, but it was this couple’s love, happiness and kindness that made everything simply magical.

To Stephen and Malou, we would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to have our first wedding in the exquisite island of Boracay and for entrusting us this one magical day in your lives. We pray and wish that God will continue to bless you both with lots of years together and lots of beautiful children.

All our best,

Cheers to the couple who made us believe that love really goes the distance! With the groom away and the bride planning away, it was still a collaboration and celebration of love and oneness to the last detail.

We were privileged to have been part of their beautiful and simple yet elegant Puerto Princesa wedding. It was a celebration of love and friendship; and of families who became one through Gino and Anne. Even though it was a year delayed, we know it was worth the wait.

To dear Gino and Anne, whose love for each other cannot be deterred by time nor distance, we wish you countless years of togetherness full of love and happiness.

All our best,

Empire Weddings
