Q: Describe your wedding in a few paragraphs.
It was a beautiful wedding (of course we are biased) but we enjoyed every bit of it. It was a garden wedding with just very few guests as we wanted it to be as intimate as possible.

Q: What was it like to have Joel H. Garcia Photography on your day?
It was wonderful! You are our number 1 non-negotiable supplier.

Q: What was the most memorable part of your photography experience with Joel & Ma-anne?
Everything was memorable because we were not expecting that the photos will turn out really lovely despite the rain.
Also, the first look (it was not initially in my plan), but Ms. Ma-anne suggested it during our meeting and it was wonderful.
And, the suggestion to wear sunglasses during the shoot – it was such a relief for me and it turned out really good in the photos as well.

Q: Any advice to offer new brides and grooms-to-be?
Be prepared for any unexpected event and just enjoy the wedding.

Q: What was the weather like? Rainy

Q: What was the funniest thing that you remember happening? – I was the last one to have an umbrella, and the assistant/coordinator gave the wrong rings during the exchange of rings.

Q: What characteristics of the ceremony made your event most unique to you two as a couple? It rained – but it turned out wonderful and memorable.

Q: What do you remember most about the Ceremony?
The rain started to fall in big drops at the EXACT time my tears fell as I got my mom’s hands for her blessing and hugged her.

Q: What was your favorite part about the photographs and what ended up being your favorite photo?
This is really difficult as we love all the photographs from prep, and ceremony to reception. We love the preps because we looked really good in the pictures – Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-anne know how to take our good angles .
We also love the ceremony because of the authenticity of the pictures – it was like seeing the wedding in replay. Really lovely! And we love the reception photos as well, as they turned out very good as well.

Q: What was the best moment of the night (funniest, most heart-warming, and most memorable)? Just seeing all those people whom we love to gather together for our wedding.

Q: Besides the “getting married” part, what was the most vivid memory of your wedding day? (bride’s perspective) – Walking down the aisle (I’m not really emotional and
I planned not to cry at my wedding so I can look pretty in the pictures). But I didn’t expect it will really make me emotional. Even before the curtains opened, I was already trying my best to hold back my tears.

Q: What part of the day do you want to do again and why?
None. It was lovely as it is with its shortcomings and imperfections.

IMAGES THAT SPEAK.
Behind every frame, there's a story.

​"The timeless appeal of well-crafted wedding photographs"

When your working under the pressures of a rushed wedding timeline, imperfect lighting conditions and tight, small location to shoot,
you really have to step up, make the most out of it and make it work. Ma-anne and I are trained to shoot in various scenarios,
well lit or low it environment, from five star hotels, mansions or just a house room, sunny or rainy, celebrities or subject's that aren't models
​or just simply like us, ordinary people who dream to have a beautiful collection of priceless wedding photographs.

Constantly trying to bring an artistic interpretation to documentary photography based on our love for timeless classic, simple things of high quality but with a modern fundamental twist of originality.

​Photographers: Joel H. Garcia & Ma-anne Roque-Garcia are professional photographer based in Manila.
