On January 23, 2010-- Atty. Concep Mendoza and Atty. Dodie Baldueza were once again on the grounds of the University of the Philippines. It is on this campus where they both studied law, where they first met, and now, where they were going to get married.

Location: Linden Suites, Ortigas and The Glass Garden, Cainta

In between memorizing the Philippine constitution, reading tons of cases, and basically just trying to survive the arduous task of studying law at the University of the Philippines, Dodie and Concep managed to find true love...though they did not know it then! Their funny but true love story was laid out on the lovely invites sent to guests.

The Cinematic Concepts' shoot began with the wedding preparations at the Linden Suites, where they found Dodie...busy with his cellphone...

and where they also found Concep...who was also busy with her cellphone.

When the team got to peek at what the couple were texting each other.... Everything suddenly made sense. :)

It was going to be a great day. :)

While Dodie had some finishing touches,

Concep was also prepping up for her special moment. :)

UP Parish of the Holy Sacrifice. The Parish of the Holy Scrifice (UP Church) was designed by the National Artist for Architecture Leandro Locsin. The church is adjacent to the U.P. Health Service Building and the U.P. Shopping Center, and is serviced by all of the university's jeepney routes.

After more than a year of being engaged, the bride finally walked towards her groom, to be united in the sacrament of matrimony.

The reception for the newly married attorneys immediately followed at The Glass Garden in Cainta. While the Glass Garden displays contemporary design, it is inspired by old English Architecture. The romantic wedding venue is sprawling with a lush indoor garden. It gives you the benefit of having a garden wedding in Metro Manila, while still being protected from unpredictable elements like rain, the sun's searing heat, and bugs and insects.

This was the site of Dodie and Concep's fun celebration!
