Ben and Beth: 30th Wedding Anniversary

16 November 2007
Preps: Pan Pacific Hotel
Ceremony: Manila Cathedral
Reception: Coconut Palace

Yes, this is almost 2 months late...but here it is anyway...

Ben and Beth are Bim's (a.k.a. Phoeben Teocson of Playback Productions) lovely parents. They have been married for 30 years (by civil rites) and yet this was the very first time they were going to walk down the aisle for their church wedding. And I have to say, those 30 years of waiting sure did pay off. They had a solemn Manila Cathedral ceremony followed by a grand reception at the swanky Coconut Palace which was culminated by a display of colorful fireworks.

More than the great details and the grand celebration though, what stayed with me after the party were the great stories that were told about this kind and generous couple. Everybody agreed that they really deserved to be celebrated that day. (Sabi ko nga, I suddenly found myself having great respect for Bim after meeting his parents. Hahaha. Joke lang, Bim.:D)

Here are a few of my favorites shots:

A tender mother-son moment.:D

Daddy Ben nervously checking out his suit.

O, ayan na ha!:D



Of course, we had to have the portrait session with the Manila Bay sunset as background.


Finally, I got this idea from one of my favorite photographers Laura Novak to make what she calls an inspiration board. Here is one for Ben and Beth's yellow-and-green themed wedding.:)
