Couples often get to share their story along the way during the engagement and we at imagine nation love to get to know our couples as much as we can. As much as possible we want them to feel comfortable around us and consider them our new found friends. :D And what was interesting about our couple today, was that Bea was actually a survivor of the Infanta Quezon tragedy back in 2004! I just got the shivers from her stories and I was in awe how she bounced back from the experience and now just radiate much joy and peace. The only way her family was rescued back then was by a rescue chopper! I remember back in 2004 I aided in a medical mission in Real and just saw how devastated the place was. I was on my way discovering God once again and it was a memorable experience for me. So maybe today God was reminding me of that experience is calling out to me. This shoot was a blessing. :D I got reminded of how got me to where I am right now..I got reminded of my first love. :D This passion for photography.. was a gift from Him..

ps. thanks carlo for letting me play with your 50mm 1.8.. dang you have seduced me! :D

pss. first outdoor stint of my new bibi, david.. hehe!

Some play time haha :D

I fell in love with these quirky trees..:D

Upon leaving Fort Santiago, we asked permission to shoot by this cool sign across the street

Guess what was the background of this shot! :D

Anyone recognize the blurred part here? hehe

hello there horsey!

After this shot some guardia sibils were already watching us.. haha

We stumbled upon a new events venue nearby Manila Cathedral and it was so nice!

Off to baywalk, and we were greeted by an awesome skyline.

And this is where Erwin and Bea met, one year ago. :D This is where they work and this is where they fell in love. :D

toto villaruel: wuhoooo! galing jayjay! :D ahahhahahahah! :D dami nangyari kanina! :)) [Monday, November 10th, 2008, 4:18 pm]
jayjay: haha oo nga! buti di tayo nasagasan ng kabayo or ng kotse.. haha! thanks for the help man! keep on shooting! [Monday, November 10th, 2008, 4:27 pm]
tine: what's so interesting in this album is that its so simple. so simple to the extent that i was able to connect with your couple. in this day and age when photographers are focused on taking the "perfect" shot, they often forget that pictures are all about the people in it. that its for the couple. and in this album, you did just that :) you can do both, "edgy" and "simple" shots :) flexible according to the couple that youre working with :) real.

Taking a break from their duty work, Michael and Betsy took time to have their pictures taken at the studio.. Since they also brought their scrubs along.. alas here are the results from that evening’s shoot. :D

*quotes below are from grey’s anatomy.. I just googled them up haha .:D

“On a day like this, a day when so many prayers are answered and so many aren’t, we take our miracles where we find them, we close the gap, and against all odds, against all logic, we touch.”

“See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And once in a while, people may even take your breath away.”

“At the end of the day, there are some things you just can’t help but talk about. Some things we just don’t want to hear, and some things we say because we can’t be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they’re what you do. Some things you say cause there’s no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves.”

“Our history is what shapes us, what guides us.”

“The key to surviving a surgical internship is denial. We deny that we’re tired, we deny that we’re scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we’re in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can’t recognize the truth right in front of our faces”

“For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can’t get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can’t cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don’t want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it’s everything.”
