Vice Ganda – A Day In The Life/Birthday Surprise Video

Break from weddings 🙂 one of recent celebrity shoots…a shoot for a day in the life of the unkabogable star that turned out to be a same day edit video that was shown in his surprise birthday party 🙂

Jon and Nikkie Wedding

posting random photos and video from Jon’s and Nikkie’s wedding…how we wished we got more time to shoot this couple because they are just so beautiful together…cheers to forever, Jon and Nikkie! 🙂
one of those few times that I got to shoot a night wedding…experiencing the challenge of low light, traffic, rain and not having enough time to shoot what i had in mind…on post processing, since Nikkie is the not-so-usual bride who prefers the color of the movie Twilight, i experimented a bit in trying to achieve her preferred color scheme 🙂

Orven and Princess Wedding

Gold

i’m back to updating this site 🙂

we’ll be uploading interesting weddings that i’ve got the chance to cover soon…i am one blessed individual to witness and cover a once in a lifetime event.

on top of my favorite shots are these photos taken on the 50th wedding anniversary of my friend’s parents…made me believe in the so-called forever 🙂

Orven and Princess Engagement Session

Not their original engagement session plan…they have arranged it at Intramuros, Manila but then, as they drive to the location, their car broke down and so my friend, Misty who also happened to be their coordinator (Passion Events) received a call from them to cancel the shoot and to not have the engagement shoot since they don’t have an available date anymore. Orven and Princess are based in Oman and they just came here for the wedding…so Misty and I understand the stress that they are going through. And so we told them that we will just go where they are since the time they have reserved in Intramuros have already passed, we will just shoot on any available location…It was so easy to say ok, let’s not have the shoot anymore, since this will not affect the rate that they have paid me but it’s something that my core being can’t take and I guess being in this industry for quite sometime, experiencing shit is not really new…but then, you just keep going with a smile and not let those stress reflect on the photos 😉

As a photographer, as I look back to this day, I am so glad that Misty and I insisted the shoot because I am one blessed photographer to capture two nice people in my camera.

Randy and Kat Wedding

Batanes

the plane fare to batanes is quite pricey and the assigned driver (manong joey) informed me that it is part of the strategy in controlling the number of tourists…and i think it’s a good strategy, for one can really enjoy the view for it is not really crowded and one can have enough time to paint a good memory.

the food servings were quite overwhelming at first sight. the lobster that may cost a thousand here in manila only cost a hundred or two. however, the food can be so bland and the locals need to learn on how to play with the spices. the only food that i enjoy was the food served at fundacion pacita. and again, manong joey informed me that the abad’s hire a chef in manila to train the chef at fundacion. (ps. just visited toby’s estate and the brownies that they’re selling is similar to the brownies being served at fundacion pacita).

according to manong joey, batanes got zero road accident and even before text language became popular they already have “blow ur horn” as a popular road sign.

got an extra treat from manong joey (who is such a good tour guide too), on the second time that i visited fundacion for breakfast, he showed me the “great road of batanes” (which is not yet included in the usual itinerary) wherein you can literally overlook the entire basco, batanes island.

most of the shots were taken while inside the moving car, for two days were not enough to explore batanes that can’t say stop and stare for every beauty that one can see while in a moving car.

the three days of not having internet access were all worth it. one day, i’ll go back and create new memories again.
