sheena - Beautiful photos. As I scrolled to the closeup profile file shot with the veil and smile my heart suddenly pounded … there is something magical and scary about your photos…perhaps its the rawness/realness/essence/soul/sparkle of the person you’ve capture (and just by a photo, not film).July 20, 2010 – 12:14 pm

Just Because

Thursday, May 20, 2010 Posted in Random Personal Things

It’s 5:30pm, I’m answering emails and trying to put together a wedding blog post for tomorrow. Jeff’s sleeping next to me. It’s been a long day of running errands for the both of us, and Jeff going everywhere from Quezon City to Makati looking for decent rabbit food. Marbles, our four year old rabbit, is stretched out on his belly, blissfully unaware. The National’s High Violet is playing on my laptop’s speakers. Midway through, I stop in the realization that in this moment, I am completely, utterly happy. Jeff and I are celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary on June 2. Sometimes it’s still hard to believe we’ve been together this long; it still feels like we’re just kids playing house, only the plastic cups and toy wrenches have been replaced with real ones.

Over the last few months, Jeff and I have taken to shooting with our iPhones daily, just for kicks. Here are some of them, and these are some of the things we’ve been up to lately:

A Post From Beyond

Monday, November 2, 2009 Posted in Engagement Portraits, Random Personal Things

I just realized we haven’t blogged anything for three weeks now. Haha. October was a flurry of engagement shoots for us: Island Cove, Bellarocca in Marinduque, Timberland in Rizal, Mimosa in Clark, Japanese Garden in Caliraya, and a few Metro Manila and Tagaytay shoots in between everything. We’ll start blogging again this week. I hope to catch up on the blogging before our November weddings.

Answering a bride’s email late last night, I asked her to stick her nose out the window. I’m crazy, I know. Try it! It smells like Christmas already. The morning after the last typhoon, Santi, was the clearest sky we’ve seen in Metro Manila for the longest time. And last night, as Jeff and I were walking outside, we smelled Christmas for the first time this year. The concept of the happy place? All our versions smell like Christmas. Well, okay, some of mine smell like Acqua di Gio and 1998. Long story.

I remember being so excited about 2009 this time of the year last year. I still can’t believe it’s November already. So much has happened this year so far, and there’s still so much left to look forward to. Don’t even get me started on how much I love 2010 already. Right now, right this very moment, I am a hundred different colors of happy. I hope you and yours are too.

And since a post is never complete without a picture, here’s a shot taken with my iPhone of the vintage bicycle that one of our fun, fun couples brought to their shoot. Love!

Eleven Years Today

Monday, April 20, 2009 Posted in Random Personal Things

We became a couple eleven years ago today. It’s funny but I still remember being fresh out of high school, holding her hand while watching the animated movie Anastasia and praying to dear god I would stop sweating. I spent the whole day rehearsing how to ask her to be my girlfriend.

Somehow I built up enough courage to squeak out “Can I keep you?”, sweaty palms and all. She had to ask me to repeat what I said. I did, and she just smiled and didn’t let go of my hand. I took that as a good sign. I was half expecting she’d run out of the theater screaming. She then tried to break up with me the day after, but that’s a whooole ‘nother story altogether. Haha.

Below is something I wrote for her on our first wedding anniversary back in 2007. I wanted to write something new for her today but I don’t think I’m capable of phrasing it any better.

This is my happiness. It is how she says my name so differently from everybody else. It is how she smiles and laughs and dances. It is how she sings Christmas songs unwittingly when she’s happy, no matter what time of the year it is. It is how she holds my hand, and how our hands fit so perfectly together that it seems they were made for nothing more than this. It is how she inspires me. It is how she loves me, and how I love her. And how every little bit feels like coming home.
