So, April 10, 2010 was the date for the wedding of Jon and Kath. Can’t remember them? Well, you can check out their pre-nup way back in November. XD Yes, they’re the people I shot 12 noon or something. Hotness. XD
Anyway, so… wedding day. After we all arrived at the Regalia Tower Suites, the fun started. Let’s get to it.

So, last March 20, 2010 (whee, backlog galore! XD), James and Cai got married. They’re both Dominic’s friends in Singles for Christ in their chapter (or was it only Cai?), and I think Doms is their chapter head, so Doms ordered them to get him as their photographer. KIDDING. They got Doms as their photographer because they’re friends and they like his shooting style, DUH! And there, I was lucky to be chosen as the backup. I also remember this day because… well, I think I was out late the night before. Or something. So… I was sleepy. But that’s not new. XD
By the way, this wedding was coordinated by Christine Ong-Te Events, and the team that day was led by Mitch Uy. Thanks Mitch for making our lives easier (as always)!
So anyway… let’s get on to the wedding!

So, after months/years of planning, and 2 pre-nup sessions (XD), Jimbo and Shayla finally tied the knot (in a church, because, well, they’re already civilly married) last June 4, 2010. Yay. Actually, you know something? I did not even expect to be there. Why, you ask? Well, it’s simple. See, Toto and Carlo were the ones who were really supposed to shoot the wedding. Jamie and Gracielle also planned to go because… just because. And since I knew Jimbo and Shy were really cutting down on expenses, I didn’t really want to insist on my going, because I would be another mouth to feed. However, you know God works in mysterious ways, right?
What happened, you ask? Gracielle got a Palawan wedding on the day of Jimbo and Shy’s wedding, with Jamie as the backup, so I could finally come along to this wedding. (Side note: if you’re trying not spend too much on food during your own wedding, invite all those who are sure not to come, those with earlier obligations. See? Instant savings! XD). Then, Carlo had to beg off of the wedding because he was planning to do something for his girlfriend for her birthday (yeah, I would choose that too, actually… XD), so I became Toto’s backup. Amazing, right? And Dennis was free to act as third photographer. So we were all set, right?

The event was coordinated by My Big Event. No, the event is not mine, it’s the name of the team. XD
Yehey, another wedding posted! April 24, 2010 was the wedding of JD and Vanessa (no, really? XD). 23 days ago from this day we did their pre-nup, and now… it was the big day! So let’s get to it!

So what’s the story here? Mark and Monette have been married for ten years (even if they amazingly don’t look it… I hope I age as well as they do. XD), and they just wanted to renew their vows complete with better pictures and video. Apparently, their old photos… well, they didn’t like them. So with their renewal this year, they hoped to get better photos. And of course, not to brag, but from me, they’re definitely gonna get those. Hehe. It also doesn’t hurt that they’re very NICE, as in NICE people, so it was really a pleasure shooting them.
Side note, the church was in Santuario de San Antonio and the reception was in Manila Peninsula, because that’s where it all happened ten years ago. Yay.
For Imagine Nation Photography, shot with Jay Jay Lucas. No VAs, ’cause of… I forgot. Haha. No wedding that day of March 27, 2010, had VAs, I think. XD
What’s Nathan and Joyce’s story? Well, I got it from Nathan himself. Nathan’s cousin Karina (who, incidentally, was Joyce’s maid of honor), came to visit him when he was in Perth, Western Australia. At the time he was single with no interest in a relationship but, through Karina’s efforts of matchmaking, Joyce added Nathan on Facebook. Karina further got things going by inviting Nathan into her and Joyce’s conversation, then suddenly leaving. This got the two talking. XD
From having no intentions of getting into a relationship, in a nutshell, the two had more things in common than they thought, so it wasn’t even more than a month that they already knew they would get married! Isn’t that amazing? Good job Karina!
So… everything was in Alpadi Estate in Antipolo. We got there via Marcos Highway… and before that, we stopped at Burger King. Yay, food. XD Oh, and guess what happened when we got to Alpadi? More food, ’cause neither Nathan or Joyce were there yet. Haha. I thought my stomach would explode that day. And it was so hot too. XD
So, when Nathan and Joyce finally arrived… something to do. Yay. On with the pictures!

So the day finally arrived. After so many days of planning and panicking and all that jazz, the date for Jake and Anna was March 13, 2010. I know, because I was there. XD From the pre-nup to some other details, I was there. And so I finally present their wedding in my blog. Yay. Haha. It took a while to post, but it’s finally here!
For Imagine Nation Photography, shot with Benjie Tiongco and Jaja Samaniego, with a special guest appearance from Toto Villaruel, all because well… he wanted to. XD
3 months (more or less) after their pre-nup in UP (my first one there XD), they got married! Yay. XD March 6, 2010 is the date, don’t forget. XD Their wedding day was also a lot of firsts for me, as this was my first time to shoot in Vivere Suites, and in St. Jerome, both in Alabang. Yay. After so many months of waiting and being a nervous wreck (well, in my case at least. Why? I don’t know, I’m just paranoid I guess? XD), this wedding finally came to pass. It was my first of March this year too. Can I keep track or what? XD
Anyway, so… how to start the day? No idea. Maybe let’s just start writing, yeah? XD Be prepared for a lot of pics, because I’m proud of this wedding.

And we’re back in Tagaytay! This one’s just another quick post, with all these pictures being my favorites from this shoot. Everything that happened this day of February 24, 2010 happened in The Boutique, that very nice hotel in Tagaytay (although I really don’t understand the logic of some of their bathrooms having glass walls next to the balconies… XD).
So, on to the event itself.

So. First time to actually get to Tagaytay Midlands… I think. Haha. Oh, and at Madre de Dios too. So… enjoy the photos.
