Even before this staycation, I had been able to capture beautiful wedding portrait preparations (I’m a wedding photographer) in the rooms of Oakwood Premier.  Its the quality of light that comes in with big windows and translucent curtains that diffuse the light to make everything look dreamy.  If you’re getting married in Ortigas area, book your preps here because it fits a photographer’s requirements to pretty pictures.

The dark hues scattered around the room give off that cozy and warm ambiance too.
