Held at the scenic <strong>Timberland Highlands Resort</strong> in San Mateo, Rizal last July 11, the couple’s big day was not only a celebration of love but also a heartfelt showcase of culture, personal touches, and shared passions.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Here are five things we absolutely loved about their wedding:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>The timeless garden Filipino-inspired celebration</strong></div><p><strong></strong>Perched 250–450 meters above sea level, Timberland Highlands Resort offered panoramic views of Metro Manila, the Sierra Madre mountain ranges, and Laguna de Bay—a stunning backdrop for the couple’s vows. Guests, many of whom traveled from the UK and the US for the first time, were treated to a genuine Filipino experience. </p><p>From the<em> sari-sari </em>store giveaways to traditional dancers, <em>B</em><em>arong Tagalog</em> for the men, and garden-inspired dresses in champagne pink and nude for women, every detail reflected Filipino warmth and hospitality. &quot;We wanted the day to feel relaxed, yet elegant, so our guests could truly enjoy, feel grounded, and present in every moment,&quot; Cam Lagmay told <strong>Metro.Style</strong>.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754968641784metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsCK1_1214.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754968661721metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsCK1_1287.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754968704763metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsIMG_0007.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>A love story anchored in dates that matter</strong></div><p>Cam and Chris’s engagement happened on 11/11/25 at exactly 11:11 AM—a moment of perfect symmetry. That same evening, they decided to get married on their 7th anniversary, 7/11/25. After enjoying a two-month engagement, they spent seven months planning, with their first and most valuable investment being their coordinator, <strong></strong>Kim Torres Events, which b<strong></strong>rought their vision to life.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754968795687metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsCK1_1654.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754969007390metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsCK1_1029.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754969027249metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsCK1_1094.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Wedding prep as a bonding experience</strong></div><p>One of the couple’s favorite parts of planning was visiting their venue. Each trip became a special bonding moment—from rehearsing their walk down the garden aisle and sampling the menu to bringing their puppies to get familiar with the space (who later walked down the aisle with Chris).</p><p>&quot;Visiting our venue helped us prepare, get to know the people we were working with, and gave us the peace of mind that it would be a beautiful place and day to celebrate our love,&quot; Cam said.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754969113492metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsCK1_1727.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754969154472metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsIMG_9136.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754969176094metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding details_CGI1950.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754969197392metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsIMG_8953.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div><strong>A program full of surprises</strong></div><p>The reception was a whirlwind of surprises, from cultural Tinikling performances and a <em>Pilipinas Got Talent </em>magician to a Michael Jackson impersonator who lit up the afterparty. Guests enjoyed arcade games from Arcade Games PH, including basketball, pinball, Pac-Man, air hockey, foosball, iDarts, a claw machine, and Time Crisis—a nod to Chris’s love for basketball and gaming.</p><p>Three photobooths from PicTok PH, including a mirror booth with magnet prints, a 360-degree video booth, and a life-size FOREVER NEW magazine cover, captured the fun. At the same time, the Manila String Machine provided a romantic live soundtrack.</p><p>One of the sweetest moments? Chris giving Cam a Miss Universe-style “crowning moment,” complete with a sash declaring her “Mrs. Newsome.”</p><div><br/></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754969275695metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsIMG_0311.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754969291175metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsIMG_0325.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754969315214metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding details_CGI5095.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-21" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMIOUy8TgxR/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=810&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A21%2C%22os%22%3A11418764.3%2C%22ls%22%3A35385.90000000002%2C%22le%22%3A35393.59999999998%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-21" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>A wedding style that speaks volumes</strong></div><p>Cam stunned in a Regi Cruz creation—a simple yet elegant sweetheart deep-cut corseted gown with a flowing trail and floor-length veil. She kept the look timeless with a sleek updo and surprise jewelry from Chris. “Beauty doesn’t need to be loud,” she said, aiming for a look she’ll still love 50 years from now. Chris, in a regal black-embroidered <em>barong</em> adorned with crystals also by Regi Cruz, embodied strength and nobility. Both wore Jojo Bragais footwear, proudly supporting local talent.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754970912934metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding details_CGI2841.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754970893172metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsIMG_8976.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754970935451metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding details_CGI3595.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754970958410metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding details_CGI2882.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754970991493metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsIMG_0263.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>At the heart of it all, Cam and Chris’ wedding planning journey reminds us that a wedding is more than a single day—it’s a collection of moments, decisions, and shared experiences that lead up to it. By staying true to their vision, prioritizing what mattered most, and treating the process as a celebration in itself, they created a day that was not only beautiful but also deeply personal. </p><p>When it comes to wedding planning, Cam took the time to share some tips: </p><p>1. &quot;Immerse yourself in your bridal era! Your wedding is your big day, so you want it to be special, meaningful, and memorable for you and your husband.&quot; </p><p>2. &quot;Do it <em>your</em> way. There is no &#x27;right&#x27; or &#x27;one&#x27; way to get married… You’ll be hearing suggestions and comments left and right, but it’s <em>your</em> special day, so be in your bridal era, remembering who this wedding is for and why you’re getting married in the first place.&quot;</p><p>3. &quot;Prioritize what matters most to you and your husband. Add little touches of what makes the day <em>you</em> and what will make you remember it forever.&quot;</p><p>4. &quot;Get a coordinator who will help you bring your ideas to life, someone who understands your vision and genuinely has your back.&quot; </p><p>5. &quot;Celebrate small wins as a couple and enjoy the process together. Treat it as a bonding experience that you will go through together, so that your wedding is not just about the date, but the whole process you went through to get there.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1754971624744metro weddings cam lagmay and chris newsome wedding detailsIMG_8237.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Wedding suppliers: Cam Lagmay and Chris Newsome&#x27;s dream team:</strong></div><p><strong></strong>Photography: Team Pat Dy and Caliber King</p><p>Video: Theia Films</p><p>Coordination: Kim Torres Events</p><p>Hair and Make Up: Dexter Lopez </p><p>Bride and Groom Couturier: Regi Cruz</p><p>Event Stylist and Florist: FJ Sionson Flowers and Events </p><p>Venue and Caterer: Timberland Highlands</p><p>Officiant: Reverend Moreno</p><p>Musician: Manila String Machine</p><p>Cultural Dancers: Sanghaya Dance Ensemble</p><p>Choreographer and Back Up Dancers: D&#x27;Grind</p><p>Coffee Cart: Plgrims Coffee</p><p>Food Cart: Hotlinks</p><p>Sushi Bar: Sushi MNL</p><p>Mobile Bar: Fun Cocktails</p><p>Arcades: Arcade Games</p><p>Photo Booth and Video Booth: PicTok</p><p>Souvenirs: Lumi Candles</p><p>Tattoo Station: Foxtrot Tattoo Shop</p><p>Magician: @magicmanody98</p><p>DJ: Mikko Abello</p><p>Performer: MJ Impersonator (Jan Mark)</p><p>Host: Sam Corrales</p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Photos by <strong>Team Pat Dy </strong>and <strong>Caliber King</strong></p>
