I once believed fairytales were only in the movies… until she made mine come true.
There are love stories that echo through ballrooms and wedding halls, and then there are those that unfold like a modern-day fairytale—complete with a castle, a queen, a king, and a kind of love that weathered storms, both literal and poetic. This is one of them.
Meet Bianca Nicole Dee, a dedicated nurse, and Freddie Dee Jr., a passionate teacher—two hearts bound not only by their shared surname but by a deeper connection, sealed in a photoshoot that transcended reality and transported them into a dream.
On Thursday, July 10, 2025, against the breathtaking backdrop of Dragon Castle in Baguio City, Bianca and Freddie turned their pre-wedding photoshoot into a cinematic experience. With its grand towers, mysterious fog, and medieval charm, the castle became more than just a location—it became a metaphor for their love: majestic, timeless, and undeniably real.
“Our Castle… The Queen and King!” 👸🤴🏰
Their theme was a romantic proclamation of royalty—not in status, but in spirit. Bianca and Freddie weren’t just posing for photos; they were stepping into their roles as sovereigns of their own story, ruling over a kingdom of devotion, trust, and unshakable commitment.
Every frame captured by Phil Diaz of Petiks Photography & Films told a tale: of stolen glances under misty skies, of laughter echoing through stone corridors, of gentle hands held tightly under rain-kissed air. It was as if the elements themselves were in awe of this love—adding drama and depth to every click of the camera.
“Our photoshoot felt like stepping into the pages of our own fairytale. The mist, fog, the castle, and the glow of the lights made everything surreal, as if time stood still just for us,” Bianca shares.
But even fairytales face trials. That day, nature had its own plans. The weather turned mercurial—showers interrupted the flow, dampened gowns, soaked shoes—but never their spirits. Instead of retreating, the couple embraced the moment.
“The fog, the rain, and even our wet clothes became part of the story—turning the shoot into something raw, real, and even more magical.”
This rawness, this refusal to let challenges dim the light of their joy, is what turned their engagement session from a photoshoot into a powerful testament of enduring love.
Advice from the Queen & King Themselves
To other couples planning their own engagement sessions, Bianca and Freddie offer this heartfelt wisdom:
“Treat your photoshoot as more than just taking pictures. See it as writing another chapter of your love story. Don’t be afraid of the unexpected—the rain, the wind, or the quiet mist can create the most magical moments.”
And perhaps that’s the most beautiful takeaway from their story: magic isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. It’s in the way two people look at each other, support each other, laugh through the unexpected, and embrace every part of the journey.
Because in the end, fairytales aren’t found in books or movies—they’re written every day, by people like Bianca and Freddie, who choose love—boldly, beautifully, and without reservation.
