Once in a while I get to shoot a Tinghun or a Chinese engagement. Some have the full blown traditions going on, but others choose to keep some and leave the others out. Nonetheless it’s a different experience in itself. And the Jasmine resto gave the oriental feel and I loved the interiors! I had a happy time shooting and a happy tummy to boot

Gown: Cecilio Abad

Location: Jasmine Restaurant, Renaissance Hotel Makati

Other photos could be found in facebook: Jr and Lala photos

We took some portraits after everyone left.

Big windows are just awesome for portraits!

Love shooting in Renaissance! Definitely a well done interior.

It’s been a while since I last had an engagement/prenup shoot. And was so happy to finally shoot again! Although this was just around our studio in Oasis, I found new things to do and places to shoot And was quite happy how theses pics turned out. Mannix and Bern, see you guys soon in July!

Make up: Aaron Lejarde of the Makeupstudio

Bern’s eyes are so expressive! She just radiates in the pic.

Mannix was worried about something showing up in the picture… but make up magic.. voila! No worries!

I loved this trying-to-get-out-of-the-box set! haha

And why not seal the day with a kiss.

This how I like taking photos, just light, casual, fun, relaxed and dashed with a touch of love.
