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!

Such a small world. Ina’s sister happens to be a kabarkada of my sister. Ina’s brother is the cousin of my girlfriend, Tine. Peter happens to be a band member of Monsterbot. And it was Ina’s mom who connected us all! See you guys end of Feb!

Mike and Kristine just booked me this January. Being based in NY, they came home for a few weeks to single-handedly do their wedding preps, book suppliers, and mix it with vacation at the same time! We were able to squeeze in an engagement session and did it in Heritage Park. Awesome place. We had good light, a hot sun and an action packed afternoon. Here are some pics I liked
