Elsewhere

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Posted in Child & Family Portraits, Engagement Portraits, Weddings

We’re flying out to Ilocos later for an engagement shoot. I meant to blog a wedding today, but we haven’t even packed yet so that’s sooo not happening. Some of our work are published elsewhere though so I’ll redirect you there for now.

Those are some from Phil and Cess’ engagement session / family shoot with my favorite little Brit, Aaron. More photos can be found at Vatel Manila’s blog, here. We answered questions about the shoot as well, and gave tips on how to prepare for an engagement shoot (read: SLEEP!), you can read it all there.

Also, if you want to look at lovely brides and wedding dress eye candy, drop by Veluz’ blog here to see our Veluz brides. I’m posting some below, there’ll be more at her blog.

God, I miss everyone. Cess, I’m still willing to trade you Marbles for Aaron, just for a day or two. I promise not to lose him in any more elevators. Okay, it’s 3am and I really should sleep now. I’ve finally just caught up on all emails, I think. We’ll be posting pictures on Twitter during our overnight stay in Ilocos. You can follow Jeff here, and me here if you like. Have a great day, everyone!

Jeremy and Mimi’s Wedding

Friday, July 16, 2010 Posted in Weddings

Preps: The Bellevue Manila
Ceremony: Notre Dame de Vie Chapel
Reception: Fernbrook Gardens
Videographer: Phoeben Teocson
Bridal Gown: Niko for Veluz

This wedding is definitely one of the most fun weddings we’ve ever covered. These two, their families and friends… they have what the French call joie de vivre in spades. When I say fun, I don’t ever mean that lightly. Fun is serious business for us wedding folks. Fun means emotions and personalities galore, and us photographers basically having what you might call a field day. I always say I love my job, because heaven knows I do, but these people made me appreciate it even more. There’s nothing like being surrounded by so much love and happiness. It’s very inspiring. Phoeben Teocson’s onsite video of this wedding is one of my favorite wedding videos of all time.

Jeremy and Mimi, it’s been awhile and this blog post may be a tad late, but I’m glad to be posting it at such a wonderful time in your lives. We saw Mimi’s Facebook update yesterday announcing that you’re having a baby boy. Congratulations! We’re so incredibly happy for you guys! And we’ve thanked you already before, but we’ll thank you once more for having us at your wedding. Going through your photos for the blog had me grinning from ear to ear all over again. Much, much love, always.

Over the Moon Giddy

Friday, June 11, 2010 Posted in Random Personal Things

Our new business cards are here!!! Jeff brought the mail in this morning and I literally whooped with joy when I saw the package. We’ve been wanting letterpress business cards for two years now, as long as we’ve been in the business, but there isn’t a local letterpress printing company that makes business cards. As far as we know, at least, and I’ve searched high and low.

We came across Twenty O Four when we saw the gorgeous invitations they made for one of our clients (Thanks, Jerrold and Christine!) and I got in touch with them right away. They specialize in wedding invitations, and don’t make business cards either, but they made an exception for us, and I will love them forever for that. Sisters Jihannee and Mitzi who run Twenty O Four were an absolute dream to work with.

Letterpress fits our syle and clientele so perfectly. We kept the design minimalist, clean, and elegant. That our cards are made on environment-friendly, 100% cotton paper is a huge plus for me, too. Needless to say, I’m madly in love with them and I’m pretty sure I could stare at them for hours. But I don’t have hours to waste on staring, so I’ll share it with you guys here instead. Hope you guys have a lovely weekend!

Rolf and Jazz’ Engagement Shoot

Friday, May 28, 2010 Posted in Engagement Portraits

Every couple has a different dynamic and we do what we can to find out what that’s like. I think a large part of how we do what we do is really finding things about our couples to fall in love with and capturing those things in photographs. It’s getting to know the two different personalities and how each plays against the other. With Rolf and Jazz, we didn’t even have to try at all. They were open and comfortable and made of so much rock and awesome, it’s hard not to love them. When they dropped by last July to book us for their wedding this year, Jazz mentioned Rolf used to be a professional hockey player and that they were thinking of having part of the shoot at an ice skating rink. A first for us. And the jumping in the pool with formals on? Definitely another first. We certainly weren’t lacking in inspiration here.

So we notice the little things, because that’s what we do. Rolf treats Jazz like a princess. It’s not even a conscious effort, it’s instinctive. They took a spill while they were on the ice. They were going insanely fast but in the literal second that they were falling, Rolf twisted them around so that he would fall on the ice first and she’d land safely on top of him. That pretty much made my heart melt. And I like the way he makes her laugh. And how she laughs with him. They’re so unmistakably HAPPY, and it’s just the way they are together. When he looks at her, I can see she forgets for a moment that we’re actually there and there are no words for how much I just love that. I have to stop writing now because my face hurts. I can’t stop smiling, it’s ridiculous.
