Paolo + Vae

Pao and Vae had always been the kind of couple who found beauty in the simple things. They cherished quiet evenings spent watching their favorite movies, shared countless meals in their go-to diner, and bonded by their mutual passion for fitness and shared hours at the gym.

When they decided to get married, it was no surprise to anyone that they opted for a civil wedding—intimate, heartfelt, and uncomplicated, just like their love.

Pao and Vae woke up in the grandeur of the historic Manila Hotel, their chosen spot for the morning preparations. The day began with Pao and Vae dressing in their modest yet elegant outfits. Vae chose a simple white suite. Pao, looking dashing in a crisp white shirt and a black suit.

The ceremony was held at a modest courtroom in Manila. Pao and Vae had chosen this path for its simplicity, staying true to their belief that love did not require lavish displays to shine. There was no flurry of makeup artists or an entourage bustling about—just the couple, a close circle of family, and a peaceful vibe.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds headed to Quezon City for the reception. Their destination? Talisay the Garden Café—a cozy haven that had long been their favorite spot.

By the end of the day, as the laughter died down and the last of the plates were cleared, Pao and Vae stood hand in hand, thanking each guest for being part of their day. It was a wedding that reflected everything they held dear—intimacy, authenticity, and a deep, abiding love.

It wasn’t about the grandeur or extravagance. It was about them, their story, and the people who mattered most. And in that simplicity.

Thank you, Pao and Vae, for trusting us to capture the beauty of your intimate wedding. It was truly an honor and privilege to witness your love story unfold in such a meaningful and heartfelt way.
