MANILA, Philippines — Newlywed Bea Alonzo gave fans their first glimpse into her intimate civil wedding with businessman Vincent Co, posting a collection of black-and-white photographs on Instagram.
The first official photos shared captured the couple sharing kisses and warm embraces after exchanging vows at Makati City Hall.
The actress kept the caption brief, writing only, "Home [white heart emoji].”
The monochrome photo series documented some of the most intimate moments from the newlyweds' special day. One photograph showed Alonzo and Co sharing a kiss, partially hidden behind a bouquet of white orchids. Another captured the couple gazing into each other's eyes while holding a small white cake inscribed with the words "just married."
A close-up image highlighted Alonzo's wedding ring resting on Co's embroidered Barong Tagalog, while another showed the actress smiling lovingly at her husband as they embraced after the ceremony. The final photo featured the newlyweds standing beneath the "Office of the Mayor" sign at Makati City Hall, proudly showing off their wedding bands, with Alonzo carrying her bouquet of white flowers.
The post quickly filled with congratulatory messages from friends in the entertainment industry.
Anne Curtis wrote, "Congratulations!!!!! dinner when we get baaaaaaack!"
Social media personality Bretman Rock commented, "Congraattttss ma [hearts emoji.”
Camille Prats shared, "So so happy for you B! ️"

The Instagram post came a day after Alonzo's marriage to Co was officially confirmed by her legal counsel Joey Garcia of GERA LAW. Garcia said the couple wed in a civil ceremony at around 7 p.m. on July 13 at Makati City Hall, with Makati Mayor Nancy Binay officiating.
Garcia also dismissed earlier reports suggesting the couple had encountered problems over a prenuptial agreement, saying both Alonzo and Co had "freely, knowingly and voluntarily" executed the agreement before their marriage and that there had been no legal impediment to the wedding.
Binay likewise confirmed the marriage through a social media post, sharing photos from the ceremony and writing, "Kinasal ko na po sila" ("I have married them."), followed by a congratulatory message for the couple.
