Jennilyn+Marvin | Wedding 10.24.2009

A guest became unintentional photographer. =)

Sitting back is what I am supposed to do. Apparently, a guest should expectedly doing. As Ruffa’s charming sister invites us to attend in this once in a lifetime celebration and wittingly made her a Bride’s Maid.

The melodiousness.. harmonized match of these couple… creates a music in my ear which translates in my hands clicking the shutter of my camera. It was a rush.. a pumping sound in my heart.. Triggers myself taking shots in this breathtaking wedding, combined with one of the most refined historic church in Manila. The San Agustin Church, where the wedding was held.
