Tagaytay Midlands Wedding Photography | Vernes and Sheryl

I have a million of blog topics to post - or at least it feels that way. I'm months behind and I'm so tempted to skip and post our more recent coverages. But I won't, not yet. =) Instead I'll resort to speed blogging, everyone deserves to see all of the wonderful weddings that we've been a part of. =)

Case in point is this wedding of Vernes and Sheryl =) They are very good friends of mine from my photography club and it's heartwarming to see them tie the knot and be able to capture every moment of it =) Enjoy the photos =)

Romance in Acid | Bim and Gen

Acid, as the dictionary defines it, is "a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid chemical substance that dissolves some metals. Don't worry there is absolutely nothing in this post that will show a couple making romance in a liquid that will actually melt their bodies to death - despite the title. Futhermore, sour-tasting is definitely not a way to describe the love of BIm and Gen (maybe Bim's face during crunch-times for his onsite videos), it's far too cute to even go there. So why romance in acid? I'm thinking it's a metaphor to describe how the couple "sizzles" when they are together, similar to the reaction you get when you dip something in acid. If that is correct, im not sure. What I'm sure of is that "Romance in Acid" is the overall title of the shoot. 

Bim and Gen are good friends of mine from the Philppine wedding industry. Bim is the guy behind the fast-rising and popular Pheoben Teocson wedding videos who I have worked with countless times already. This month, it's their turn to be part of wedding videos and photographs as they set to formally promise forever to each other. Of course before that, engagement photos first. I have to warn you that some of the photos that you will see here could be disturbing so please do take caution (don't say I didn't warn you. hahaha).

Here we all are after shoot. All sweaty and sticky. =)

Ateneo Engagement Session | Ramon and Zerline

This Saturday, Ramon and Zerline will tie the knot. And before that let me share their lovely photos from the e-session we shot in the Ateneo campus where the couple met and fell in love (cheesy ba?! hahaha)... thus it was a super special location =) 

What's also special is that THE Jason Magbanua together with his awesome team went to the prenup shoot to yours truly for the metrophoto promotional video =) See cool out-takes at the bottom of the post. =) 

Fresh from Iloilo, Madge Lejano also dropped by to make sure that I look fab in the video. =) woohoo! can't wait to see the video? Keep checking the site! hahaha. In the meantime, enjoy the photos =)

 

US Engagement Sessions

Metrophoto's recently concluded US trip was by far the most grueling set I've ever done. It's unbelievable to know how much one can put himself to a challenge, not only physical, but more over, of mental exhaustion with successive shoots in different climates and in different cities. Fine, it sounds exaggerated and like an intro in the next episode of Man vs. Wild... but hey it was just also me (without any camera crew) if any more comparison is needed. hahaha. 

Despite all those whining and self pity, I must say that it was such an amazing experience. I am truly blessed with the best of clients and the best of friends. Check out samples of the shoots in the round-up below. All of these incredible destination e-sessions were only paused by me attending the equally incredible workshop of Amelia and Justin Lyon in Laguna Beach, California (I'll blog about the workshop next). Enjoy the photos and watch out for the complete galleries and posts soon! =)
