This was one wedding I was looking forward much in shooting! We were transported back to the 1920’s and enjoyed the ride! It was a pretty touching wedding that caused almost everyone in the Mercalco tent to shed a tear during the ceremony.  Let me share some pics during the day that I think represented how the day went.. crazy, fun, beautiful, tear jerking, rocking! Thanks charles and steph for making us part of this exceptional wedding. Finally your pics are up!

Charles in his true form!

Meet mr. socko!

Mr. Socko takes his revenge on Charles!

I think it’s quite obvious that Charles was not at all tense during the preps… haha!

After we were able to clear up the room where Steph was preparing, we quickly started shooting her portraits. Steph looked absolutely beautiful and the make up greatly complimented her overall look!

Steph and her close up smile! hehe!

A tighter shot of Steph’s make up and head piece.. it was so nice!!

The couple all dressed up.

The couple’s family and friends were in theme also! Check it out!

I think this was the “fayz” shot.. haha! My batchmates from Ateneo!

Took some portraits of Steph around the Edsa Shang. Steph mentioned she sang for shang for a time back then.. pretty cool.

Now let’s fast forward to the ceremony and reception! I love how the wind caught steph off guard hence the nice effect of the veil flying!

I think I cried here, during the honoring of parents.. tocuhing simply touching..

Finally married!

We were kinda pressed for time and had only 15mins to shoot during the in between so here are some of the shots that I liked!

They wanted a paparazzi shot… haha!

The band for the reception was the UP Jazz band..(hope I got it right! haha) who played spectacular numbers throught the night. I felt as if  I was at the Oscars.. hehe

A sweet first dance.

A cake eating-race game!

Nikki Gil on the far right below, was the host of the reception and turns out was also the cousin of steph.

hello there peewee! and the boys, looking snappy.

Just had to write about this! I perceived the day to be sunny, fresh and bright.. but nooooo cloudy weather brought upon I think the thickest fog I’ve ever experienced in tagaytay!! What a challenge it was to shoot in the midst of this natural phenomena! Check out some teaser pics!

Venue: Tagaytay Higlands

Check out the fog here man!!  I decided to shoot in B&W since it was pretty much no good to compensate for the white balance at that time.. hehe!

Imagine shooting and seeing only glimpses of faces from afar! But it was fun!!

Here is my freezing like a popsicle with Brian.. what a wrong move for me to wear shorts and sandals for the shoot! haha. Picture care of Noel.

Still a nerdo, checking out the result of  the pics with Junie our assistant. Picture care of Noel.

When the weather cleared up a bit we were able to visit other locations!:D More pics to come

Engagement shoot over at Subic Freeport. I’ve shot several engagements in subic but everytime there is something interesting that happens! Something unique is shot. And it I just got all giddy when we were able to shoot at the whole portainer of subic!!! We had the whole pier to ourselves! Oh joy!!

We braved to stop over at SCTEX to get some shots in… A patrol car came over and thought we got car trouble. When we said we were just taking pics, they let us be!:D Whew I thought they would drive us away.

Ryan is into cars and Jayme is into fashion.. mix it up, and hence the pics below! haha!

When the sister of Ryan came over and visited us while we were shooting, they said that they had a friend in the portainer area who could let us shoot under the HUGE cranes! I got all excited!!

Obligatory pic with the boys!:D yeba!

After the shoot we headed over at Coffee Express and binged on one humongous pizza!! That’s what you call an icing on the cake!
