This past Sunday, we had the chance to photograph a really amazing celebration.
It wasn’t just any ordinary bridal shower - it was a Filipino party disguised as a pre-wedding celebration…. IYKYK (I can say this as someone who married into a ginormous + colorful Filipino family 10 years ago)
And because nobody throws a party like a Filipino couple so dearly loved and supported by their family + friends… here are the pictures to prove it.
In celebration of and , it was an absolutely honor to document this event. Just hours of laughing and hugs, dancing to setlist, and a ton of games…. 10 different party games packed into a 4hr schedule. If you’ve never been to a Filipino party, you know they turn up the fun a few notches. Fun trivia, really unique custom “who has the groom / bride?” scratch off cards, a toilet paper gown competition, and various other really fun games.
But the most memorable event? Something we see often at wedding events — the anniversary dance. We’ve been photographing love for 18 years now, yet this is probably the first time we’ve met a couple married for 58 years and counting. Fifty eight years.
Of all the fun and games that day, hearing them share some simple words of wisdom with the couple was definitely one of the most memorable takeaways for me.
Sincerest congrats to Jex + Abby!
