Esel and Gelo's romantic, rustic wedding in Tagaytay, Philippines was filled with handcrafted details, sweet moments, and  touching performances by family. The celebration began with a traditional Catholic ceremony in a picturesque chapel, followed by a reception in the beautiful garden of Hacienda Isabella. From the invitations that showed a couple embarking on a new journey together, to the strawberry-laden cake, succulents, raw wood, and traditional fabric woven by local artisans, the details of the day told a story of traditions, true love, and new beginnings!
