It was so much fun shooting the e-session for this couple. After our initial consultation, I had a working concept on how and what to shoot for their engagement pictorials. On the day of the shoot, the bride asked me to listen to Nicole Hyala's Mahal Kita Kasi. The humorous mood of the music got to us! We promptly changed the whole concept and shot the whole session with this funny song playing in our heads! Here's the AVP.

But I could not help but show you people this gorgeous bride! Gina Cortes was wed to Ampogs (Mark Andrew Pros) last November 18, 2009.

The whole time I was shooting Ivy & Guille's wedding, I felt like I was in the set of a Mexican telenovela. Guille is of Spanish descent. And we were surrounding by Spanish looking and speaking people. Here are some of the shots from that day. I'm not done yet but I just have to show the world their gorgeousness...

The most beautiful flower girl ever....

2009-10-09T06:37:00.000-07:00

I was going over some of the photos of the previous weddings we covered a while back, I came across a photo of the most beautiful flower girl I ever saw. May I present to you Terra. This is my favorite photo of her.

Pre-Natal Pictorials

2009-10-02T08:44:00.000-07:00

Babies are sooooo good to be photographed...even before they're out. Here's our first take on pre-natal pictorial.

Doc Mark and Meann

2009-09-29T07:05:00.001-07:00

The Doc and the Vamp
This set was shot at the Loboc Church. We had Meann wear a black long gown and, as a contrast, we had Doc Mark wear a white shirt.

Crying Butchok

2009-09-28T10:03:00.000-07:00

I have always found Jill Greenberg's Crying Baby photo series to be awesome. Not that I like watching the little ones in pain, but there's something awesome about capturing those moments of intense emotion on the faces of babies.
So, I deliberately made my little boy cry last night. Here's what I got.

Not really as good as Ms. Greenberg's (I lack 1 more back light). But it came out quit close, at least for me.

And my little boy looks adorable even when he's belting out something from Celine Dione (minus any recognizable lyrics).

Doc Mark and Meann

2009-09-20T22:06:00.000-07:00

We just got back from Bohol for Doc Mark and Meann's engagement pictorials last Saturday. We'll share more about it later. For the meanwhile, here are some of the shots from Saturday.
...
Awesome weekend! We had our first out-of-town engagement pictorial last Saturday in Bohol. The groom-t0-be, Doc Mark, is one of the coolest doctor we've ever met. And the bride-to-be is a real Boholana beauty and the coolest DILG field officer we've ever known. When we first met, Meann (short for Mary Ann...not mean) told us we are to do anything, conceptualize anything for the engagement pictorial. So, we told her to bring any prop she could think of aside from the stuff we told her to have. Imagine our suprise to find an ISUZU ELF truck following our car on the way to the venues for the pictorial!
We hit the ground running (so to speak). We started the pictorial as soon as the couple picked us up from the seaport. We were all over Bohol, starting at the Baclayon Church, and ending at Bohol Beach Club.
It was 12 hours of straight shooting, but it never felt like work. We were having so much fun!

Nothing could be more awesome than finding and falling in love with someone who loves the same stuff that you do. He loves dogs; she's a sucker for four-legged, furry fellows. He loves nursing sick pups back to health; she loves dissecting them (to fix what's wrong insider them! What were you thinking??). When a vet falls for a vet, it's more than just puppy love...

Butchoy and Aimee's wedding

2009-09-08T06:01:00.000-07:00

We woke up at around 4AM today. Still groggy, but still psyched over the great reviews the guests at Butchoy and Aimee's wedding, gave the photos we took today. It was my first time to take in the view of the city from the Crown Regency tower (the dressing up was at the 16th floor).
The wedding was at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. I love to shoot weddings there. The whole church has such huge windows, making the inside of the church all bright and sunny. Although I'm a true-blue strobist, I love the drama ambient light brings on each shot.
The couple is the zaniest couple I have ever been with. So expect some craziness in the shots I'll be posting here in a few days.
Here are some of the shots from today's wedding.

Julius + Agnes

2009-09-05T08:01:00.000-07:00

Just got back from shooting Julius and Agnes' wedding in Compostela.
My day started out with a bad tummy but Cha, Paulo, Ainz, Pido and Ruel did great for the first few hours of the dressing up and details shots while I was...er...otherwise pre-occupied.
We had fun shooting today. The bride and groom were so cool.
The venue for the dressing up was at the Green Lagoon, Compostela. I will definitely go back there. That is the only place I have ever been to where the sky really meets the ocean. No other island can be seen from the shore. This would make for an awesome background for future shots. Sadly, we were not able take shots with that in the background with the bride and groom in their wedding dress as it was too inconvenient for the bride to walk all the way to the water's edge in her heels.
The wedding ceremony took place at the St. James Parish Church. My jaw dropped when the priest came out from behind the altar. He was looking like John Lennon...I kid you not. He had long hair and a mustache. But the sermon he gave was very nice.
Here are some of the shots we took of that day...

Cyrus and Kiss on Rock 'N Roll Bride!

2009-09-03T06:02:00.000-07:00

We just got word from Kat Williams of Rock 'N Roll Bride (www.rocknrollbride.com) that she posted the photos from Cyrus and Kiss' engagement pictorials. (CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW TO VIEW THE POST)

Praise God! This is awesome!!!
Ok, so we submitted those photos to her. But she would not have had put them on her site had she not seen something cool about these. It is truly an honor to see our work along side those of other cool photographers.
For the past few months, we've been drooling over the photos that get to be on her site. All are so cool. And we've been studying them all, and, we admit, we did copy from some of those photos. Thanks to Kat, we were able to do something cool... And thanks to her, Cyrus and Kiss' engagement photos are now displayed at www.rocknrollbride.com.
Kiss, the bride, was online a few minutes ago and I sent her the link to the post. She was estatic!

2009-08-31T15:08:00.000-07:00

The first time we met this couple, we knew we had to do something different. Kiss, the bride, gave us ideas of what she would like to have for her engagement pictorials. So, for the first session, we dragged a sofa (from our own living room), loaded it up on a small truck and took it to the old lighthouse in Liloan.

We had an awesome time with the Shutter8 guys yesterday. This was our 2nd foray into fashion photography.
It sure was hot yesterday. (I and my wife went home with a bit of a tan...) But the models got the worst of it. We had them pose under the heat of the noonday sun, with reflectors focused on their faces. But these gorgeous ladies didn't seem to mind.

Get it dirty. Get it wet. Trash it. And that's just what we did.
