Our Wedding

In the vibrant tapestry of life, our story began to weave its intricate threads in the year 2019 when fate orchestrated a serendipitous encounter through a mutual friend. As our eyes first met, a spark ignited, setting ablaze a journey of shared moments, deep conversations, and desire for more. Bonded by a love to entertain, we found joy in hosting gatherings with friends, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Our shared enthusiasm for entertaining and crafting unforgettable experiences brought us closer, forging a connection that transcended the ordinary. Amidst the flickering glow of movie nights and the warmth of our cozy home, our love deepened, nurtured by the laughter that filled our hearts and the comfort of each other's presence. Together, we found joy over the last few years, cherishing the moments spent cuddled up with our two dogs, Devin &amp; Frank, who became an integral part of our shared journey. With every passing day, our bond grew stronger, a testament to the enduring power of love and friendship. Through the highs and lows, we stood by each other's side, a steadfast pillar of support in a world full of uncertainties. Today, as we stand on the brink of a new chapter as partners for life, we reflect on the beautiful tapestry of moments that have brought us to this long awaited moment. Our story is a testament to the magic of connection, the beauty of shared passions, and the unwavering bond that unites two souls on a journey of love, laughter, and endless possibilities. We could not be more excited to share this special moment with you all in the beautiful Philippines!

Honeymoon

OUR STORY In the 1980s, an old angler called this house his sanctuary. He lived a simple yet fulfilling life, spending his days fishing in the abundant waters right from the property to the neighboring Olanggo Island. The marine life during that time was so rich and vibrant that the house became a treasure trove of artifacts and stories from the sea. In our living area, you'll find a display of these preserved artifacts, each with its own tale. The very paddle that the old angler used on his fishing expeditions now hangs proudly on our display rack, a testament to his enduring spirit and the history of the home.

Staying at The Old Angler House is more than just a vacation—it's a journey through time. You'll feel the history in every corner, from the preserved artifacts in the living room to the architectural details that tell the story of its transformation. Whether you're looking to relax by the sea, entertain loved ones, or simply enjoy the charm of an architect's home, The Old Angler House offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

In recent years, this cherished property was inherited and lovingly renovated by its new owners, a pair of visionary architects. They saw the potential to transform the house into a stunning holiday home, while preserving its essence and history.
