February 2014: Destination Wedding

Our good mates Rod & Denise had planned an amazing wedding in Samal Island, off Davao Philippines.

It was a week of paradise - buffets, drinking, soaking the sun, chilling at your private beach, looking out at the view from your 3 level Villas… what more could we ask for! It was EPIC!

The love-birds went all out at their wedding. Truly a ROCKSTAR WEDDING!!
