This is the first superhero costume prenup that I ever shot haha. It was a blast. just wanted to share a teaser first.
Exactly one year a go I shot my first wedding. (february 24 2007) I could still recall the awkwardness I felt and how super shy I was during the shoot! I was baptized into the world of wedding photography and I didn't know what I was doing! :) haha! That was the day I met Erron and John J for the first time. I certainly learned from them and carried them on my future shoots. I honestly wanted to quit afterwards.. for I felt so unhappy with my shoot! I had a long talk with God in my quiet time and decided to approach wedding photography through His eyes and with His strength..:) And after 1 year of shooting.... I am just so thankful for all the blessings and all the couples I have met.. each wedding was certainly memorable and there is always something new to shoot. :)
I just want to share 50 pics from my past and recent weddings. I fixed them up for our portfolio for the studio when I remembered that it was my anniversary of shooting today. :) so yey! happy anniv to me! haha labo!
enjoy! :)
I met Carlos back in a wedding fair in PICC several months back. I was just starting out then and he booked with me! Amazing! Time seems to travel so fast and now I shot their wedding! :) It was my first time to shoot at Coconut Palace and my first time to shoot a kalesa as the bridal car! :) The family of Cheryl was so funny, warm and accommodating! I really felt we were part of the family and not as the photographers. :) Her mom was the best! haha! Was always game for a pose and was the so ecstatic the whole time! Even lifted her robe for a pic..ayayayay! Too bad I wasn't able to come and visit Carlos and take pics during his prep, but Erron took care of him.
It as also my first time to shoot a sunset wedding, and God gave an awesome sunset backdrop during the ceremony. The weather perfect and it was one memorable wedding for everyone. Carlos cried during his vows to Cheryl and he made the people laugh when he said "Hon, let's go home."
Indeed they would be going home forever together. :)
Shot with Erron Ocampo and Gracielle Hernandez.

We set this prenup before hand and I was praying that the weather would improve. I never shot a prenup in bad weather before and I was half worried about it. In the morning it rained! I said erks and sighed, then it shined! Weird weather we're having lately. I had my one on one with Jong at the studio and presented my works before we left. Hydes and Ipe came along and we were laughing all the way. hehe! We asked Jen and Aaron to tell us about their love story and they have the funniest proposal I ever heard! I shall quote Aaron, "O ayan kunin mo na yung singsing sa bag!" (after coming from an overseas trip) hehe!! It was interesting to know that Jen was 4 years older than Aaron. We had burger kin g for take out along the way and their large drinks pala are really LARGE. We didn't get to finish them!
Anyway, it started to rain as we neared clear waters.... I was really silent for a bit. I was thinking ahead of that to do. I had to be quick and was limited by the impending rain. It was really a good thing that Aaron and Jen were game for anything!! hehe!! I thank them for being patient and their willingness to do our crazy poses hehe!! Towards the end of our shoot, the rain really poured! And we found ourselves stuck in the tents area of clearwater that had cute indian designs. First time i saw the inside of those things. hehe! We had a few pics inside and used the tents as backdrops.
On the way back to manila, I was not satisfied with the pics I took, parang kulang.. then we spoted Boom na Boom sa Clark!! The flashing lights caught my attention. I asked if they were still game for one last stop and they were! haha! First time to shoot inside a carnival! hehe! Good thing the management allowed us to shoot for free! yey! :D We ended the night by having dinner at nearby Gerry's grill in SM Clark. We feasted on good yummy sisig, pusit, and kangkong! Listened to 80's music on the way back. hehe
Truly one unique engagement pictorial! Eventhough it was raining, we had a sunny shoot! :) PG!
Shot with Hydes and assisted by Ipe the "ninja" and master lightman hehe :D

My first Australian based couple! Maila and her siblings' last time to visit the Philippines back in 1987! They're Australian accent was now very prominent. On the other hand, its Jamie's first time to ever set foot in our country. Together with their crazy friends, they made the shoot quite a riot. :D hehe it was amazing that jamie and the groomsmen still had so much energy after coming home at dawn from Embassy! I loved Maila's shoes! Most of their stuff were brought in from australia. They have a super hyper kid named Jarod and was not camera shy at all! Although he developed a tantrum halfway through the day, he was appeased quite easily by his parents. i admire their patience!
One funny incident was when we were going down the elevators with Maila when we stopped at a floor and when the door opened Jamie and the groomsmen were right outside! Jamie quickly jumped out of sight and this made Maila and the bridesmaids burst into laughter all the way down! :D
We once again had a beautiful sunset for our in between shoot! They said that there was a storm to come that day but God is good! Surely Australians know how to party and they danced the night away!
Their imagine nation onsite video was awesome! Hope I could get a copy so i could post it here. :) (good job cedric and the gang!)
Everything was held in Manila Hotel. Shot with Erron Ocampo. Make up by Karen, hair by Aaron.
