Weddings, baptisms and debuts are once-in-a-lifetime, happy occasions that celebrants and their families always want captured and documented. However simple or grand, these events stir feelings and lead to special moments that, when immortalized in photos and videos, can be revisited and re-lived over and over. For many, Nice Print Photo, Inc., known simply as Nice Print, has become the dream coverage team for these milestones in their lives.
Founded in 2006 by business and life partners Charisse and Jibby Tinio, Nice Print has grown to become a leading photography service provider in the country, consistently coming out as the top booker in the biggest wedding fairs. They have even spread their wings beyond the Philippines, covering weddings and shooting pre-nuptial/engagement photos in some of the most beautiful locations in 4 continents, 35 countries and counting. Nice Print has also amassed an enviable roster of clientele that includes the hottest stars and personalities. Here are six of their most iconic weddings over the past 16 years.
6 Iconic Celebrity Weddings We Still Can’t Get Enough Of

The Alcasids gave Nice Print its big break with this first celebrity wedding coverage. All eyes and ears were on this wedding of the decade that united the star singer-songwriter and the nation’s songbird.

Who could forget this heartwarming surprise proposal and fairy-tale wedding in one? Nice Print captured it all in this picture-perfect fairy tale occasion for a loving, picture-perfect family.

A unique pre-nuptial shoot (against the lahar backdrop) in Porac, Pampanga then the grand concelebrated church wedding at Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Cubao, Quezon City, and massive reception at the Mall of Asia in Pasay; this very down-to-earth royal couple of show business did it their way and Nice Print was there every step of the way.
Neil Arce and Angel Locsin (2021)

The much-anticipated wedding of businessman and director Arce and actress-philanthropist Locsin was postponed several times because of the pandemic and then – boom – they surprised everyone by getting married in a low-key civil wedding ceremony. They broke the news on social media with Nice Print’s raw, natural photos that were as real and unassuming as this otherwise powerful couple.
Moritz Gastl and Jess Wilson (2022)

This was a breathtakingly romantic destination wedding in Salzburg, Austria, with the Gastls saying their I Do’s in front of 100 family and friends at St. Peter’s Abbey in Salzburg. The reception at the iconic Schloss Leopoldskron hotel (where Sound of Music was filmed) completed the whole, surreal experience.
David Rainey and Glaiza de Castro (2023)

This LDR (long-distance relationship) couple met by the sea and so it was just apt that they wed by the sea. The Raineys’ uniquely own Filipiniana/beach wedding in Zambales was blessed with a blazingly beautiful sunset that made the day even more romantic and picturesque.
While these celebrity events garnered thousands of likes and shares from Nice Print’s millions of followers on its social media pages, it is the trust given by and happiness they provide to many real-life couples and families that are a bigger source of pride for the company. Perhaps because Nice Print was borne out of the Tinio’s own experience as a wedding couple (who are both non photographers), the company’s value proposition is a strong commitment to and personalized treatment of customers – all of whom are met with a listening and collaborative ear.
“Every relationship is unique, every detail is different and each wedding story is worth telling. We make sure that we consider each request, leaving no stone unturned to deliver on the trust that is given to us to capture and preserve their most beautiful, unforgettable, funny, or poignant moments during these very, very special milestones of their lives. In a way, we are helping them create a legacy, to be able to tell their story for generations to come,” shares Charisse Tinio, Nice Print CEO.
As it gets ready to celebrate its own growing legacy and 17th Anniversary on March 17 this year, Nice Print is paying its storytelling success forward with a contest and discount promo that have already set many aspiring NP couples and families’ hearts abuzz.
With the “KwentongNP” photo contest, couples who are set to walk down the aisle in 2023/24 can get a chance to win an Exige Wedding Package worth Php170,000 simply by posting their most memorable photo with the story behind it as caption (along with the hashtags #NicePrint17 #KwentongNP) within March 1 to 17, 2023, on Facebook and Instagram. For the promo, Nice Print will be giving a Php17,000 discount on all wedding packages (for redemption within 2023/2024 as well) to all first-time bookers on March 10-17, 2023 .
According to Tinio, “After 17 years, it’s still exciting for us to hear the stories of our clients, and we are doubly excited to see those that we will receive as part of these initiatives. Nice Print is giving the gift to the people who have followed our journey but, really, we are the ones who are honored and privileged to receive – and possibly immortalize – these great stories of love.”
