When Ray and Lon originally wanted to run away to Vegas and get married there.. but when they had the idea of how about getting married in the Philippines; they got all excited! They decided to instead bring Vegas to Manila! hehe. For their engagement we wanted to shoot at a casino but it wasn’t allowed. So with Feliz’s help, they came up with somehow incorporating the KING of rock and roll into their engagement! (So you’ll see hints of Elvis in some of the details from this shoot) We traveled to San Lorenzo Leisure Park and was completely stoked with such a grand location! Imagine a whole race track to ourselves! Pure joy! Here are scenes from our shoot.. will be updating this too with more photos just as soon as I get to work on them!

Thought of sharing a maternity shoot to break away a little bit from weddings. First time I did a maternity shoot and it was tons of fun! I thought of it as an engagement plus “one” haha. and the star for this shoot is the baby bump Enjoy these uber adorable photos! Doris and Sean are expecting baby Megan soon and I can’t wait till she comes out! Someday when she grows up, I hope she would remember that it was tito jayjay who took her photos before she entered this world!

Just shot around the house of Doris’ parents. I loved looking for the available light that day and I think it turned out quite nicely for this our set

They were styled of course by Feliz and it was a big help in putting this shoot together!

Will be back in posting weddings and engagements soon, but in the meantime enjoy these photos!
