When God becomes the foundation of a relationship, every chapter feels purposeful. For Vermeer and Angelou, their story has always unfolded with a sense of quiet grace—heartfelt, steady, and unmistakably guided from above. During our two-day pre-wedding session at La Loba and the highlands of BuDa, I witnessed firsthand how effortlessly they connected. These two didn’t need to pose or pretend; their laughter, soft glances, and inside jokes flowed so naturally that documenting them felt like watching a love story already perfectly written.
Vermeer shared that their journey started back in high school. He transferred during their second year, eventually becoming classmates, then friends, until they unexpectedly grew into best friends. Being part of the same group, TVP, allowed their relationship to blossom slowly and beautifully—no rush, no pressure, just an organic unfolding of something meant to be.
When asked about the best thing about Angelou, Vermeer spoke with the kind of certainty only found in true love. Her patience, he said, is extraordinary—beyond what most could offer. She understands deeply, loves quietly, and remains constant even in the most challenging moments. To him, she isn’t just his partner; she’s the calm to every storm, the steady presence he can always rely on.
One moment Vermeer holds dear is their first international trip to Singapore. They traveled there to watch Coldplay, his favorite band—a dream of his for years. Standing in a sea of lights, music filling the air, and Angelou by his side, he said it felt like more than a concert. It was a memory engraved into his heart, a celebration not just of music but of shared dreams and the person he wanted to spend them with.
Drawing from Saint Thomas Aquinas, Vermeer believes love is choosing the good of the other—kindness, consideration, and intention in every action. For him, loving Angelou means giving the best of himself, always choosing to uplift her and honor the gift that their relationship is.
For Vermeer, the pre-wedding shoot became a quiet realization: we’re really getting married. Each moment—from the laughter between takes to the quiet pauses in between locations—felt like a testament to their commitment. Even when exhaustion crept in, they still found reasons to smile. Their joy was not dependent on perfect conditions but on the presence of each other.
While we were in BuDa, there was a quiet moment when the faint light of sunrise slowly appeared after a night of rain. There were no striking colors or dramatic skies—just a soft, steady glow easing its way into the morning. And somehow, its simplicity made the moment feel even more genuine.
That gentle light reminded me of Vermeer and Angelou’s story. Their relationship didn’t need grand moments to prove its strength. It grew naturally, patiently, and with the kind of consistency that only comes from a love built on God’s timing. Even without a bright morning, there was a sense of peace in the air—like a subtle reassurance that God was present, guiding every step of their journey.
As they shared simple laughter and interacted so effortlessly in that calm atmosphere, it felt clear that their love shines not because of perfect conditions but because of the heart and faith they carry together. The softened sunrise, the cool air, and the quiet highlands all came together like a reminder that beauty often unfolds in the still, unhurried moments.
In that faint break of sunrise, God showed a masterpiece—not in bold colors, but in the calm certainty that their love is steady, blessed, and ready for the beautiful chapter ahead.
From behind my lens, I felt that same truth. Their love was easy to capture because it was sincere, grounded, and full of grace.
