Kitchener Wedding Photography | Carmelita & Jose : Filipino Wedding

It feels like forever since I’ve blogged.  My trip to Australia and Jamaica are coming up really quickly and I’m swamped trying to get everything done!

But…. finally here’s Carmelita & Jose’s wedding photos.  When I first met this couple and heard their story, I knew it was going to be a unique and special day!  It was my first traditional filipino wedding and it was beautiful.

All day long, Jose’s friends kept on saying “Jo is sooo happy!”  To make a long story short… 4 years ago Jo’s wife passed away and ever since “has been going through a really dark time” until he met Carmelita.  As you can see from these photos – the “dark” times are over :)

new love. new happiness. new family.

my competition…

I think Jose thought the priest told him to shake Carmelita’s hand!!  These two are so cute!!

Halfway down the aisle, someone yelled out “Jo kiss your bride!”

Carmelita looking as classy as it gets :)

This is the very happy Jose

He made sure I got PLENTY of photos of his car.  He was so proud of it!!  It was quite a fine ride!

probably my favourite shot…

You’re definitely as young as you feel.  They sure partied like they were young :)

Laura - This must've been such a neat wedding to do... people who are old enough to really realize what matters most to them and don't care about spending time or attention on anything else. their young-at-heart-ness totally comes through in the pictures. how neat that Jo's life has brightened up since meeting his lovely lady... :)December 11, 2008 - 11:40 pm

Melissa - this is a long-time family friend of ours! in fact, two pics up (the b&w of people singing) - that's my Mom on the right holding the mic!!! small world :) great pics, Melanie! you definitely captured their happiness.December 10, 2008 - 12:34 pm
