If this day was memorable for the 911 event a couple of years back.. this for me was another memorable engagement/prenup with Charles and Steph who came up with smashing idea to do a 1920’s shoot..and my oh my, I think am liking themed prenups…:D

charles goes emo by the steps while steph was still getting her make up done.

When Steph came up from her make up, we were stunned by the transformation! We were transported back in time.. we knew then on that it would be a fun night of shooting!

This could be Steph’s future album cover! Oh I forgot to mention that Steph is also a lounge singer!

some black and white fun!

This shot somehow reminds me of the Godfather.. haha

The old staircase of the restaurant provided a nice backdrop for this shot.

I found this nice devotional on the net and would just like to share it here:

Rainbows, Glory & Promises

As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the aAppearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake (Ezekiel 1:28).

The promises of God are many, and He is faithful to His word. His word does not change in that what He says He will do, He will do. The Scripture is filled with His promises, and promises more to us than we have yet to discover. For it is for one reason or another that we have not seen, or do not see, or perhaps refuse to see all that God has for us–the rainbows of our lives.
Once, when the world was young, it was a masterpiece in the making. God held in one hand His brush (the Word of truth), and in His other hand, the palette of His promises. With every stroke He invested Himself, making each one as important as the last. He then moved the brush back to the palette and filled it with more promises–more to give, and more to add. So with His Word of Truth, He saturated the heavens and the earth, so that in every place His promises would be evident, and there for those who would need them.
But those for whom He painted His promises soon took for granted the work He had done. And turning from what He would willingly give, they chose to find their own way and live to meet their own desires outside of God’s promises. They soon were able to look right at His promises and not even see them. And they soon began to doubt all of the promises they had seen to that point. They chose to trust themselves, and in so doing, took their trust out of the God of Truest Promises and made His promises out to be a lie.
But their was one who still saw God’s promises, who still trusted that what God said was truer than true. So God devised a plan to start over, and paint His promises fresh upon the surface of the world, and in His plan He included Noah. And Noah lived within the newness of God’s promises. Then God took all of the colors of His palette, and with the Word of His Truth, He signed His work once and for all with the brilliance of a rainbow.

God has painted many rainbows into our lives. It is up to us whether or not we will allow Him to develop a heart in us that will see those promises. But we so often choose not to, not because we don’t want to see His promises, but simply because we find it easier to trust in our own abilities. When we call our Lord our Provider, yet we worry over what we shall eat, or what we shall drink or what we shall wear, and we take matters into our own hands, we same as pay no mind to God’s promises of provision. The same holds true for His promises to protect us, to love us, to never leave or forsake us. It is as though we look right at the words in black and white within the pages of His Word, and somehow cannot see what is right in front of our eyes. And even that which we have once believed, we fail to remember in our times of trouble, almost as though we doubt God’s very Word to us.
But God’s promises are true, and His word is everlasting. And although the world seems void of trust in Him, His promises have not disappeared. For as we as His children will let go of our inhibitions and our desire to trust ourselves to work things out, then what is seen in us will be the work of our Lord. And they will see upon us His seal, a signature to His work in our lives. And His promises will shine through us with the brilliance of His rainbow.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God (2 Corinthians 7:1).

There are some couples that just have the so much hyperactive genes in them and when they come together they just explode! That’s how I felt when I was shooting Teejay and Dez’s wedding. These two pack so much firepower of laughter and happiness that it was quite infectious. It was a joy just clicking away with my cam that day. If there is such a thing as camera shake, certainly I tried to avoid laughter shake! You guys rock! Enough talk, I shall let the pics speak for themselves!

Check out the personalized invitation design. Dez drew it, Teejay colored it.. talk about teamwork!

Dez’s gown and shoes.

So I saw a gift from Teejay’s sister around the room..a snorkel! haha. Might as well put it to good use! I give Teejay props from doing this pose!

Sometimes brides get all tensed up during the wedding preps.. but look at Dez.. just flexing up her biceps.. haha!

Boys will be boys.. but these groomsmen take the cake!

A candid moment of the girls.

Been practicing new stuff. I wanted to capture Dez going down the stairs and blur her movement while keeping the background sharp.. luckily a flash fired.. either from mike or mikko.. hehe!

Here are some scenes from the ceremony. Dez just shined as she walked down the aisle.

The wind was strong when we got out of the church that all the confetti flew to one side! haha! hence the shot below.

We went to UP Diliman after together with their entourage for some portraits.

After catching the beautiful sunset we headed over to Grand Terraces for their reception. Check out the cake! It’s a bonafide winner! One of the coolest cakes I’ve ever seen!

Some of the couple’s friends with the uber cute smileys..:)
