Even though Christine and Ronney had been together over ten years, that didn’t stop them from having one of the most emotional weddings I’ve seen. They were married in a traditional Filipino ceremony at St. Joseph’s in Mandarin.
After the ceremony the couple continued to their spectacular reception at the Marriott at Sawgrass. It was an amazing party and it was like the dance floor was never empty!

Michael and Sonia had an amazing and glamorous event. When I first met with Sonia, she told me her wedding would be an event I would definitely want to shoot.
She was not kidding.
The ceremony was heartfelt, with Michael and Sonia reciting a beautiful vow to each other. The ring bearer was so cute; he surprised everyone when he got down on one knee to present the rings. He came up with it all on his own and had been practicing all day.
Sonia worked with event designer extraordinaire Liza Chung to create an incredible reception. The three ballrooms at the Marriott were decorated in a luxurious theme with fabulous centerpieces and details like the elevated head table that was backed by a wall of crystals that hung from the ceiling.
Thanks again, Sonia and Michael, for including me in your incredible event!
Update: Sonia & Michael’s story was featured in the Florida Times-Union newspaper.
Here are some reactions from when the reception ballroom was unveiled.
