Marco and Carol knew right off the bat that Mayad Studios had a knack for making things happen. What started as a humble startup between three friends in 2006 has now blossomed into an award-winning team of Filipino photographers and videographers in the wedding industry with over 100,000 followers across social media. No dream photoshoot is too grand or ambitious for Mayad Studios. Sure enough, when Marco and Carol reached out to them and chose Thailand to help set the tone before their wedding, their team didn’t disappoint.

The couple had their hearts set on the creative direction of their pre-wedding photoshoot. Naturally, Mayad Studios brought their visions to fruition, no further questions asked.
Thailand is a whirlwind of experiences for couples to bond over, especially when it comes to a well-traveled and established multi-hyphenate like Marco. Buzzfeed named the producer, host, entrepreneur, and wellness advocate the “World’s Hottest Mushroom Farmer” in 2015 for co-founding the Ministry of Mushrooms initiative in support of local farmers’ rights.
The feathers in Marco’s cap forged various contrasting paths for his career, but all of them led to Carol, a model, lifestyle content creator, and his effervescent constant companion. Now, the next chapter of their story begins in Thailand—no extravagant gestures, no over-the-top scripts. Just them, and their quiet but passionate relationship that moves like an endless summer vacation.
