Yasmine and Harry were set up by mutual friends, and the couple’s first date was an awkward blind date with one of their friends acting as a chaperone. Yasmine didn’t even give Harry her number, but he left the date intrigued and tracked her down on Instagram. The two started messaging back and forth but didn’t meet up again for two more months. Upon that second meeting, things just clicked, and the pair have been inseparable ever since. Yasmine and Harry share a love of travel and adventure. During a fun-filled trip to Mauritius, off the east coast of Africa, the duo enjoyed swimming with wild sperm whales and hiking through the Ebony Forest. On one of their hikes, with Le Morne Brabant shining in the distance, Harry got down on one knee and asked Jasmine to be his forever!

FAR FROM HOME

“Since we are from the Philippines, we wanted to elope a bit further away from home. We were able to search many places and vendors online that offer elopement packages, but Desert Harbor Retreat just had a different appeal. Raymond with Desert Harbor created a very tailored elopement that didn’t copy an elopement of someone else. We were very lucky that we chose Raymond to orchestrate our elopement and Shutterfreek to document it.”
