{DISTANCE MEANS NOTHING BUT LOVE}

JANELLE DELOS REYES & GEORGE RENDON
engagement session
Luna Compound | Calo Horse Farm | Bo's Coffee
​
Two more sleep and the doctor is in! - - - to tie the knot. Welcome to the club Doc Janelle and Engr. George!

This is another beautiful love story, which proves that distance means nothing and geography is just about maps.
They keep themselves busy with the things they do but they work harder to pull off something beautiful between them 
so I had to give my hats off to these two lovebirds (without borders.) 

We had a multiple location for this e-session, from the river to a coffee shop, a horse farm down to a beach with
 a vibrant sunset. The whole team ran the extra miles and move things around to make the scenes suitable for a concept
that fits their unique characters. I think all the extra efforts paid off so we hope you enjoy the imagery of their
​beautiful chemistry together.

{SAIL AWAY WITH ME}

CHARLENE FLORES & MARC NORRIS LIM

​I always stick to a mantra that says, “Chance favors the prepared mind”. Only this time it’s the opposite because we were
completely overwhelmed with the glory of this infamous Fortune Island (blame it to the google and trip reviews haha!)
 
Be warned that braving the treacherous waves makes you a bit dizzy (or more), enduring the scorching heat of the sun like
you were in a desert safari creates tan lines or sunburn, challenging your fear of heights makes your knees weak and testing
the toughness of your gears makes you wanting more!
 
At the end of the day, only then you'll realize that it’s not the place nor the weather, not what you’ve been through or what
you lag around your body the whole day just to get the job done but the privilege of witnessing a very special kind of
  affection between Marc and Charlene that totally blew us away!
 
We had a blast and hope you equally enjoy reliving what transpired on that day through our imagery. Enjoy!

A blissful time to reminisce the biggest day of their life, Adrian & Champee's union. They planned everything together though wedding planning was quite stressful, right? Well, kudos! to this happy sweet  couple who pulled a very joyous celebration and didn't seem stressed out at all. Something worth sharing~ it was all about them, their relationship and the moments they had with the people they want around them. Keep the love burning Adie & Champ! :D

JELLY VIEN CEVALLOS & CHRISTIAN BOTABARA
engagement session
Calatagan, Batangas

Still it’s February but feels like summer came a bit earlier to us than the usual. Yes, we had so much beach-escapade lately from Stilts to Panglao, Bohol and now, a new spot in Calatagan.

It’s a loooong drive all the way to Batangas, travelling at the wee hours to escape from the hassle traffic. What’s waiting for us there? The calmness and tranquility of the sea that never cease to amaze us, a total relaxation paradise.

We had a beautiful e-session with the golden glow of the sun that made our couple, Jelly and Christian shine all throughout the day. Thank you to our super game lovebirds for bringing us here with lots of food to munch (lol!). We can’t wait to see you at your wedding day this coming weekend in Tagaytay! *wink*

{MAKE MEMORIES TOGETHER}

GENOVEVA ORTIZ & JOHN MICHAEL YU
engagement session
Panglao Island, Bohol

"We must take adventures and make memories together."

Here's a destination e-session at a pristine white sand beach of Bohol with a vintagey ride, a playful dog and
a perfect pair who didn't mind the scorching heat of the sun~ what more can we ask for. It's always fun to get-on in a new adventure, at a place away from the buzz city of life not knowing that you're not just there to enjoy the place but you've been creating memories already to cherish.

Thank God and to the people who made this adventure of Gen & Michael possible.
Can't wait to shoot their rustic themed wedding tomorrow. :)

garden wedding
Two Gardens, Tagaytay

It’s always a given that a wedding is a happy celebration with lots of doors waiting to be unlocked. But before the shoot starts, there are only 2 things I always wish in every wedding… 1st is to be given the chance to chase the beautiful light of the day and 2nd is to be given an ample time to shoot my subjects. Luckily I had the best of both plus this lovely couple is a big bonus! Yeah those are the essential that continuously fascinates me, indeed the big motivator of the day! It’s been a privilege to be part of Randell and Pring’s most momentous event of their lives. Once again thank you and have a wonderful married life!

{CLOUD 9 with CLAUDINE}

CLAUDINE CASSION
Doctor Who Themed Debut 

Turning 18 is a beautiful milestone for a lady and an accomplishment for parents who dearly love their daughters.
Just like Claudine's parents who are very proud of their daughter studying in UP-Los Banos away from them.
In time for the Xmas vacation, The Cassions had a surprise debut party for Claudine.
Definitely not a queenly type of party but a unique one,
based on the debutant's obsession on Doctor Who Episodes.

{GOD GAVE ME YOU}

ANGELICA FIRME & DEXTER HULLEZA
AlDub Inspired Engagement Session
Shambala, Silang, Cavite

"God gave me you to show me what's real
There's more to life and just how I feel
And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't know why
Now I do, 'cause God gave me you."

From a song that almost every-Juan knew why it hit the billboards again after almost 16 years since it became a hit. Yes, it was released again because of the Aldub love-team craze by 
Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza on the Kalyeserye segment of the #1 TV variety show in the Philippines, Eat Bulaga! 

And our bride-to-be, Angel,  is one of the million AlDub fans in the country. When it was her turn to have her engagement session, no doubt that she wanted to be a "Yaya Dub" of the day together with Alden of her dreams.
Congratulations in advance, Angel and Dex! :D

{TAKE ME ANYWHERE}

CANDY STARR UY & JONATHAN LIM
engagement session
Hong Kong

For travellers who are camera geeks… what’s not to love about a place with great scenic views? Of course it helps a lot to fuel our creativity and  Hong Kong is the perfect place to be, it's simply a concoction of the East and West. Just get an Octopus card and you're good to go for countless opportunities to satisfy your wanderlust... and  camwhoring too! (i mean the endless selfies haha)

 One good reason why we stayed at Tsim Sha Tsui was the easy path to whether green spots or a scenic urban with incredible backdrop for our night shots. I was blown away with the colorful view of the city skyline over at Victoria Harbour where Jonathan and Candy first brought us for the location of their warm up shots.  They were timid and shy at the first phase of their e-session but the groom-to-be recurrently spent vacations here since his childhood years so I just took that advantage to let him chose the spots where he and Candy frequent, then everything went well till the end of our shoot. It pays to have a well-versed guide! It saved us a lot of time to and gave us a chance get the job done in laidback manner. 

 Thanks Jonathan and Candy! We came home with new friends! See you guys on the Big day!

PSYCHE SALARES & ZED VERNNIE PALAD
engagement session
LUNA COMPOUND | LAHAINA


Lush greens backdrop, colors of the food, shabby-chic kitchen and playfulness… my wife wanted to incorporate all of these elements into this E-session. It was generally pretty wet outside with heavy rain during the day so they bounced a lot of
  ideas on how she can shoot this outdoor… but my wife insisted to wait for luck until late in the afternoon, they were blessed 
with a soft sunlight! (luck favors to the one who has patience indeed)

The Groom-to-be is a Chef and they wanted an engagement session that tells a story about his passion for cooking and  their happiness, as they would normally together be at home or in the kitchen. So here's some snippets of the foodies in love!
Tick-tock, tick-tock! ---They will tie the knot today and this time, I’ll be part of the team. Congrats Psyche and Vernnie! 
See you guys in a few minutes. :)

Plan, plan, plan until the planning is over!  This beautiful bride plans ahead of time as she was meticulously hands-on in every details and it is just effortless like her way of life. Imagine the bride-to-be drove fearlessly and traveled alone in long distances just to scout the perfect location for her wedding (and the church next to it). After that road trip, she has personally chosen The Hills in Silang...  so perfect for a countryside and intimate wedding. Fast forward to the most awaited day, everything fell into 
place and they really rocked the house! Thanks Mark and Zara for the privilege to party with you guys! :)

I'm a lover of vintage, so when I meet a duo that is open about it and frolic around the old stuffs, I'm a big fan.  Such is the case 
with this adorable twosome, a couple of soon-to-be married sweeties that embraced of what we love with smiles on their faces
In my humble opinion, when it comes to locations - the more the merrier! Especially given the chance to shoot both indoor with
tons of props (thanks studio namu) and outdoors blooming with foliage… we’re lucky enough to get some drop-dead cute
moments captured, thanks Adrian and Champee!

We shot this e-session in 2 different locations on a summery day of March in a busy and loud Q.C. Thanks to the welcoming space of Stacy’s! A corner we can call our own even for only a certain period of time, not minding if it’s a kitchen or store counter, a parking grounds at Eco park or whatever we stumble along the way, what all we need is a beautiful light with the love birds on it! Not only am I fortunate to have been given what we wanted that day but also on top of it was the time we get to spend with this gorgeous couple that can break barriers so we can work the way things are for us. Congratulations Randell and France! We are so excited to shoot their wedding tomorrow! Cheers.
