Okay, so the story is this: This was really supposed to be Toto’s wedding, since Ian’s sister Mica was his friend, and he was the one referred in the first place. Unfortunately, Toto was no longer available this day, so he passed it to me. Coolness. Works for me. Haha. XD
If you can remember who they are, their pre-nup was posted earlier. Hahaha. XD If not, go look for them. Or something. XD This was actually a very memorable shoot, because it was the first time I got to shoot in the Angelo King Hotel in Taft, and we also shot in the new building of CSB, the SDA building (or Camp Big Falcon). Yay.
So let’s get to it!

In case you’re wondering, Daniel is British. Haha. XD
Anyway, this was in Tagaytay Highlands. This was special in a way that… let’s just say that we did something illegal. No, I will not elaborate. Wahahaha. XD

If I remember correctly, this was my second time to shoot in Hotel Kimberly. Wala lang, sharing. XD Anyway, we had a heck of a time getting to Tagaytay this day, because for one thing, one of our people was late in arriving at the meeting place (but he brought pancit the same week to the studio to make up for it XD) and then we made a wrong turn in Tagaytay. But we got there early anyway. So it’s all good. XD Oh, and lunch for us here was sisig, and rice. And more sisig. And more sisig. That was like, YUM! Screw the cholesterol. SISIG IS GOOD! XD

Gulo ba ng watermark? Promise, ganyan na ‘yan. Hahaha. XD Anyway, so… this wedding was immediately after the whole Imagine Nation Boracay escapade. Pagbalik na pagbalik no, trabaho uli. Which I don’t mind. XD Although I think I got fever after this, but I just slept it off. This was also my first back-up to Sir Jong, and my first time to go to Thunderbird Resort. Yay. Kaya memorable.
Joseph is a pastor in their church in Antipolo (or was it Taytay? I am not sure. XD) and Camille is a flight attendant (for one of those airlines that belong to UAE or something. Sorry naman, I forgot na. XD). They met in church.
Before we dive in to the actual wedding, I just want to share God’s miracle for this day. See, when we got to the resort, it started raining. HARD. So you know, since the wedding was going to be a garden wedding, everybody was worried. Camille’s dad even asked for Sir Jong to pray for the rain to disappear. Even though it looked like a lost cause, we prayed anyway.
And guess what? The wedding was at 4, 4:30 pm, and the rain was still pouring around 2, and then suddenly stopped around 3 (or earlier). As in sunshine, for both our outdoor portraits and the actual wedding (although since the wedding was backlit, there was no sun in my photos XD)! And the ground was dry! No mud, no wet grass, no nothing! It was like the rain never poured! Isn’t that great? And where better for God to give a miracle than to the wedding of a pastor? Wala lang, it’s just so cool.

As promised, here’s another pre-nup post!
Yes, I have many weddings from July to August that still haven’t been posted. Mas madali kasi ipost ang pre-nup eh. Less pics to go through. XD Sorry. Haha.
Aris and Yña are having their wedding on the 25th of September (read: NEXT WEEK NA!). They got me for their pre-nup because they just wanted a fun, relaxing shoot, and apparently, they got told that I was one of those wacky photographers.
*cues screeching record*
I don’t know where that came from. Haha. XD Ako, wacky? I’m sure a lot of people would disagree. Wahahaha. XD
But anyway, even if Yña said Aris was shy, and that they’d probably not do a lot of things… marami pa rin kaming nagawa. And I think they liked the pics anyway, so no worries. Haha. XD

I was all by myself with this one. *sniff sniff* Haha. XD
Anyway, just to be different for a while, let’s post a pre-nup. It HAS been a while, hasn’t it? XD
Antonio and Michelle were originally just supposed to be scheduled for a studio pre-nup. While before I was very happy to just shoot in the studio, now… not so much. I want more! Of course, so that every one’s time will be well spent, right?
So I guess you already know where these photos were taken. (Hindi counted ang mga tambay doon. XD)

This was my first Bora wedding ever! Well, technically second. Haha. XD Anyway, since there was a party the night before at Sir Jong’s wedding reception, and I don’t know what the heck I was doing after that, I arrived late at the preps. Good thing I was only a VA. Hahaha. XD
So anyway, since I can’t really say this is a complete post, let’s just post all the highlights for me for this wedding!
Hawhaw.

Finally, I have the chance to post again! Hahahaha. XD Busy kasi eh. So anyway…
This wedding was like 9 in the morning, so we had to be in Oasis at around 5 am. I came from Sir Jong’s bachelor party the night before, so I was kinda sleepy, and I didn’t think any of the people I was going to be with would be a morning person. And I was right. Hahaha. Pero buti na lang nabuhayan kaming lahat. XD
Oh, and I always say that if everything is just in Oasis, it’s impossible to be late. Turns out I was wrong. XD The wedding was scheduled at 9am, but started around 10, if I’m not mistaken. Oh well. XD

Batch 3 shoot ah. Pansin ko lang. XD
So… how do I start this entry? I don’t know. Hahaha. XD This was actually one of the more unconventional (therefore cool) weddings I’ve ever covered, so I don’t really know how to start. XD What do I mean by unconventional? Well, there really wasn’t an actual “preps” section, and we had the group pictorials and in-betweens first before the actual ceremony, and… well, I’m getting ahead of myself. I’ll just start. XD
Let’s just say that the photos here will just be the moments I like. Or something. Basta, ‘yon na ‘yon. XD
Some of the info here will be supplemented by stuff I get from Nicole’s Facebook. Haha.
Nicole is a professor for UP Diliman, while Andre is a lawyer who once worked for the WTO. Ganda ng combination ‘no? Haha. XD
Random trivia: They shot their own pre-nup session.
Preps was at the Intercon Hotel. Wala lang, sharing. XD Yes, I was late. Haha. XD

And this is another wedding that I most likely will never ever forget. XD Why? I can’t say. Baka may mag-away. XD But aside from that unnameable reason, it’s because the after-party of this wedding was one of the funnest (I don’t know if that’s a word, and I don’t really care XD) I’ve ever shot/been to. Yes, guests stayed and partied the night away.
Kami ring mga photographer nasama. Hahaha.
