Florence and Elmer's Wedding

Raeleen and I's day started at the Double Tree hotel in SeaTac on the day of Florence and Elmer's wedding. I quickly met up with Elmer and his best man getting ready. The guys' shirts were awesome! The 3rd image in the still set below the slideshow gives you an idea of the detail that went into the shirts. Very cool, very Filipino! :)

Raeleen met up with Florence and her maid of honor in the penthouse suite to get a couple shots before they headed out in the limo to the church. Florence looked so beautiful!

The Filipino ceremony took place at St. Anthony's Catholic Parish. One thing that I love about Elmer and Florence's culture is the traditional coin and cord ceremony. Two family members or friends will come up to the bride and groom and place a cord binding the couple together. Then another two people will place a veil over their heads. It's such a beautiful, symbolic tradition that always makes me smile :)

The evening ended again at the Double Tree Hotel, where the reception took place. The decorations were awesome! Clariza Dizon & Nicole Dizon Gates who own and operate Your Paper Dolls did an amazing job with the centerpieces and all of the gorgeous setup for the reception.

So say the least, we had a great time with Florence and Elmer. They were easy going and it was easy to see they were in love and having a wonderful time. I hope you enjoy these shots of their day and the slideshow.
