Atimonan, Quezon

A 4 hour drive from Manila is the quaint town of Atimonan. It’s my first time there and it is where Tine’s cousin was to be married. I was not the official photographer but the official guest hehe!! Of course I could not resist to shoot! So here are some pics from that day. It was very inspiring to shoot with lovely locations around. It was a break from the pressure at times of shooting and just letting the shoot come to me.. and it flowed like water..

At the side of the church there was a hidden old stair case that was absolutely beautiful! Am thankful that the main photographer allowed me to take the couple there for some shots.

A European feel… love it!

A short visit to the Atimonan port.

Philippines represent! haha. Notice the national flag on the bottom left of this picture.

Why not showcase the beautiful seascape that Atimonan has!

This little tree added spunk to this portrait.

As always, I really like shooting with the sun against me. I just see stars after though.. hehe

Chloe, the cutest kid around!

Promdi

Feels like we were in a circus that day.. haha.. but things worked out in the end

I know it’s been a long time since I last blogged! Been so busy but here’s me making a comeback! (well trying hehe)

It was my first time to shoot an evening wedding and before the preps I got to shoot some video for Carlo and Hyde’s wedding at Manila Pen also haha.. that’s a future story to tell. Anyhoo this day had its challenges but I was so thankful that Consul and Dottie were calm as clams and enjoyed their day. Here are some snaps that I particularly liked during the day. Somehow I feel that am evolving in how I shoot things lately.. I dunno hehe what do you guys think?

Dottie’s gown was care of Vera Wang .. wowee!

It’s rare that I make a ring shot that I particularly like and this is one of them

Dottie’s flowers were not of the normal ones! It was a long “dropping” one.. sorry for my lack of a better term. But I really liked it!

Consul over some painting exhibit.. we managed to steal some shots before we were shooed away.hehe

Did I mention I really liked the boquet??

The sun’s rays on a late afternoon was really a delight!

An experimental shot..

I love the action here..

Ok sometimes it’s boring to capture the communion part.. so I tried to make it look interesting..

We had little time to shoot the in-between portraits..

This was one wedding that I really liked the set up of the place!

Jong shared with us a cool new way to make AVPs.. quick and stylish.. so am just trying it out.. I like it so far..

When I arrived at the studio for the prenup of Ian and Margaux, I was overwhelmed with the amount of clothes that they brought with them!  We had a long day ahead of us but it was fruitful! Wang came along to shoot video clips also for the Save the Date Video that will be shown soon! Here are some of my fave shots during  the day. Enjoy!

Crazy shot with me

haha!

Night came so fast! But the lights in UP gave this rustic homey feel that I liked. Thank goodness for high ISO!

I go up close to capture this nice intimate moment between the two.

Then it was back to the studio to shoot Mr and Mrs Smith.. este.. Ian and Margaux hehe.
