Emil & Marianne - pre wedding portraits

Fashion & Beauty

I met up with Lanie and Cherry the other day to do some beauty/fashion shots. I was glad to work with Romina again as I did some bridal shots with her before. Maha was just fantastic! Although we were working under a 5-hour period we managed to get high-quality material.

Jay & Clara - Bridal Portraits

Had my portrait session with Jay and Clara yesterday at Tagaytay. We opted to shoot the bridal portraits on a separate day. Although it is common practice to shoot the portraits on the event, my clients agree that they are really comfortable to shoot after the wedding since they have all the the time to pose and relax...

Bridal Challenge!

As a wedding photographer, I encounter all sorts of challenges on the event. From lighting conditions to crowd management it keeps me on my toes all day! But another challenge worth quoting is when a guest would hand over a camera and request that I take their group photo with it as well. This is the part after the ceremony when we try to photograph the family and guests of the couple as quickly as possible so as not to delay the next wedding lining up. At an instant, 4-6 cameras of different makes are handed over and aside from taking a shot from my camera - I'd have to take more with different camera settings! though some may look so simple I sometimes stare at the camera and wonder why don't they make 'em all the same?! Here I am working hard to take the shot! :-)

Typical afternoon in Legazpi Village

Yesterday I took some shots in Legazpi Village, particularly in the vicinity of Legazpi St. and Paseo de Roxas. Initially, I was supposed to take the shots two days ago and proof that Makati office is very strict with regards to photo shoots in the area, my permit was denied due to the poor print which was sent to me via fax. So, the day after I went back with the original copy and headed precisely to my assigned area. To my surprise immediately after pulling out my camera, an assigned security patrol (came out of nowhere!) asked me to present my permit. that just shows that it ain't that easy to shoot in Makati without any permit and get away with it! After all that I've went thru I finally got that shots that I needed! :D
