Wedding at Antonio’s

A wedding at Antonio’s…white and classic theme for a wedding..browse some photos that are my personal favorites from my thousand of shots…so glad to be the back up photographer for this 🙂

Bridal Shower

An intimate bridal shower coverage. Blues, lunch, games and a bride Q and A …the basics for a classy bridal shower shared with the bride’s closest friends.

Andres and Arny Shoot

advertising shoot with andres and arny 🙂

My 2015 notes…Carpe diem…Surprise yourself and do something different for the first time…Pursue that thing that sets your soul on fire and do that “F” word to yourself…which is forgive…something that I tried everyday instead of being too harsh to self…forgive yourself for the wrong grammar, missed punctuations, missed deadlines, missed shots, for the imperfections, for trusting wrong people, for walking away when you’ve had enough of others’ shit and following your dreams, then move on and live another day…for there are seasons when we can’t do anything but to trust the process and have faith that we will not miss anything that are meant for us…for there are days that we can say that the “struggle” is real (such as being an introvert in an extrovert world, or finding self as the center of joke of people waiting for you to have a social media “fairy tale stories” while you are great with gypsy life) and there’s nothing that we can do but to remind ourselves that before anyone got an opinion, you got a purpose…and there will be days when the only thing that we can do is be still, breathe and if it will make you feel good, say out loud the first “F” word that you can think of.

Robert and Julie

One thing I love about this shoot…this was done at the groom’s home and backyard…something new really and I love them for being so practical. I always think that location is just secondary on engagement shoots…the couple’s smiles, sunny attitudes and good vibes will always be on top of the list…the rest will be the work of the team that you hired for the shoot.

Bridal Boudoir Shoot with Cris

Few minutes before she puts her hair up, we shoot some “bed scenes” while she’s on her “i-woke-up-like-this” look 🙂 Bridal boudoir shoot with this beautiful bride…oh well, we leave the sexy shots to her husband’s eye only 🙂

Billy and Sharon

Being able to do what you love is something to be thankful for…but what if being able to do what you love means serving people, giving hope and changing lives of street children? Honestly, I can’t imagine being that selfless, that’s why, I’m always in awe of social workers, volunteers, missionaries and the likes…and Sharon and Billy are few of those people that I have met in this lifetime, whose life will always be a wonder to me. I can only be happy when I found out about their relationship.
Sharon is the head of Children’s Garden that takes good care of street children while Billy is a missionary here in the Philippines. Can’t help but be thankful as I look back on their prenup shoot. There’s a big chance of rain on that day but it only rain after we’d finished with our shoot and the rain stopped when we shoot again at some street in Antipolo.
Thank you to Toni Aviles for helping me with this gift to Billy and Sharon.
