Meet Rod and Adrianne, our first couple for the year. Our wedding
photography team at Core33 Studios Wedding Photography always enjoyed
the rustic atmosphere of Intramuros and was excited to cover the couple.
Despite the horrific Quiapo traffic -- it was also near the feast day
of the Black Nazarene -- and the sudden pour of rain, everything turned
out great.
The wedding ceremony was held at the Santisimo Rosario Parish Church
in España, Manila. The reception was celebrated at Casa Blanca in
Intramuros, Manila.
"Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Nicknamed the Walled City, the fortified Intramuros was the seat of government during the Spanish Colonial Period. Its name in Latin, intramuros, literally means "within the walls".[2] Districts beyond the walls of Manila were referred to as extramuros, which means "outside the walls."
The city was located then along Manila Bay and south of the Pasig River entrance before 20th-century reclamations obscured the city from the bay. Guarding the city is Fort Santiago, a citadel located at the mouth of the river. Construction of its thick defensive walls were started by the Spaniards
in the late 16th century to protect the seat of the Spanish government
from foreign invasions (most notably British and Dutch) and raiding
Chinese sea pirates."
