Suady and Shanell’s wedding was held at Miniloc Island in El Nido — intimate in tone, yet surrounded by nearly sixty friends and loved ones who flew in from all over the world. No overproduction. No excess. Just joy, honesty, and a kind of warmth that carried through from the ceremony to the sea.

They exchanged vows on Entalula Island, barefoot in the sand, with the limestone cliffs behind them and the water quietly moving in. Some weddings try to orchestrate moments. This one didn’t need to. The connection between them — steady, unscripted — was already doing the work.

Shanell works at Disneyland — and yes, she’s an actual Disney Princess. But on this island, there was no script, no stage. Just real emotion. And Suady? Calm, grounded, fully present. Together, they made this stretch of Palawan feel like a page from their own fairytale — only with better light.

This destination wedding didn’t need to announce itself. It just needed to be felt. And that’s what we photographed.
