‘Hinding-hindi kita iiwan, mahal ko. Mahal na mahal kita, ikaw at ako, palagi.’

Nikko and Ara, the couple behind NQ by Metrophoto, have not only captured beautiful moments for others but have lived their own incredible love story. Twelve years ago, in the quiet mountains of Sagada, everything began for them. On their way home, with her head leaning on his shoulder, Nikko felt his heart race, not knowing why yet. Over the years, they fell in love, faced challenges, and built a life together. Now, they’re back in Sagada to say “I do.”

Through shared risks, countless adventures, and the life they’ve built together, they’ve weathered both the wins and losses, always finding strength in each other. Now, Nikko’s dream has come true, marrying the love of his life in the place where it all started, surrounded by family and friends who’ve been there through it all.

Family, friends, love, Sagada. Everything came together just the way it was meant to. 🥹🤍 #sagadawedding
