Atendido-Marek Wedding: April 2009

From Jason:I had a different feeling about this one.

When I first saw the assignment on our worksheet, it didn't register immediately that the couple getting married was Ariel and Karen of Blushing Bride, one of our favorite wedding coordinators. To my mind, they've always been a couple. They're always sweet, even during the tense moments of a wedding, calling each other "Honey". When it did hit me, I felt both nervous and excited. They make such a beautiful couple, both being former models, and I knew this wasn't our typical wedding shoot.

Their supplier friends came in full force to help out too. The make-up was done by Cherry Pacheco-Uy, Threelogy provided their usual wacky antics and an awesome on-site video, catering by Josiah's, hosting by Monique Lopez, the list goes on and on. We were in venerable company.

What I didn't expect was how much I'd be blessed that day as I listened to Ariel and Karen share their life stories, both before and after they met. Aside from modeling, they share a common love for Jesus, and they shared how both their lives have been transformed as a result of knowing Him. I found myself near tears several times. I went home that day with a greater appreciation of just how much God blesses those who love Him. Wow!

To Ariel and Karen, we are truly blessed to have heard your story and witness the fulfillment of God's promise to both of you. May your life together be filled with more testimonies of just how good God is. Thank you for the friendship and the trust. 'Till our next wedding!

From Jayjay:
One of the most tear-jerking weddings I ever shot.. I was so blessed with the testimonies of these two! was kinda hard shooting with teary eyes.. hay with God indeed all things are possible.. If they look familiar to some of you, they are Ariel and Karen of Blushing Bride (http://www.theblushingbride.us/).. They finally got married and here are some snaps from their beautiful day. Although it rained before the ceremony started.. it was raining more inside Blue Leaf..I never shot so many teary eyed guests that day.. that’s how beautiful their story is.. and it’s God’s story. Wish can I get a copy of their testimony so I could share it here in my blog oh if you scroll down you may see some pips from That’s Entertainment..
