Of Neighbors and Schools (JM & Noelle)

JM is my neighbor but I never knew it 'till the day he visited me to view my wedding albums. After he and Noelle decided to book me as their wedding photographer we became closer and would even hang-out often. He is also into photography and we would have coffee drinks and learn from each other. Sometime, he traveled to Eurpoe and showed me his shots which made me want to visit Tuscany! Perhaps someday when I get married too I would like to spend time with my wife there. :D We had our portraits done at the Ateneo, since both of them met there and it felt kinda cool just strolling around the campus, somehow making me reminisce the good 'ol college days... Since, JM and I live in Loyola Heights I totally understood why he wanted a shot with the early evening traffic rush! A scene that only Katipuneros could love.

Pure Outdoor Fun (Prichard and Pia)

This was my second time to ride with Prichard and Pia and we took a different trail at Sta. Rosa, Laguna. The sweet thing about this ride is that I got the wide soft seat this time! :D So riding at the trail was a real breeze... I think the time we spent was good for us to bond and I also appreciate getting to know the couple at a deeper level, I really consider them as friends and I look forward to their wedding on February 6, 2010. Perhaps next time, I'll try to ride on that bull!

John.Shirley

What I love about in my career is that I get time to spend with my clients. John and Shirley are just so fun to be with and this was a last minute decision to go for a prenup, hanging out with them and sharing thoughts was very much valued. They love to travel and I can't wait to see their honeymoon photos all the way from Tokyo!

Extreme Prenup: Ricson + Mabel

When Ricson and Mabel proposed that we do our engagement portraits at Mt. Pulag, I honestly thought it would be a walk in the park. Doing some research, I discovered that it is the second highest mountain in the Philippines at 2,922 meters above sea level - still had no idea how difficult this would be... After 22 hours of land travel,12 grueling hours of trekking and sleeping for 7 hours below 10 degrees, It finally struck me that this is not your typical engagement portrait! Being a typical guy not exposed to the harsh conditions of mountaineering I'm just so glad I survived the challenge. Thanks Ricson and Mabel for the unforgettable experience. At this point, I wonder what greater challenge awaits me in my career?? This is one engagement portrait session that I definitely have classified as "EXTREME!" :D

Alwin + Johanna Engagement

Mark + Gen Engagement Portraits

JR + Jen engagement

Ok, so classes were suspended, some people stayed at home and signal number 1 was declared over the Metro...but that did not stop us from our prenup session at Tagaytay Highlands. A little rain here and there, let there be fog! Bring in the surreal effects! I thought for a moment, It just keeps getting more and more exciting! How about some indoor fun?! Hmmmm....I like! (Thank you Jen Ong for the inspiration!) :D Congratulations to both of you, JR and Jen! You make an excellent couple, I'm sooooo excited to be a part of your wedding! :D
