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!

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.

Eric and Ann’s Engagement Shoot

Thursday, May 13, 2010 Posted in Engagement Portraits

Hello! It’s been awhile. I have to say the number of weddings I’ve yet to blog is ridiculously overwhelming. We’ve been fortunate enough to have joined so many beautiful weddings and I want to share as much as I can without going nuts. So less pressure on myself this time, which should help me update this blog more often and regularly, I’m going to slowly try to blog a few of the older weddings in between posts of our more recent shoots. This way, I won’t forever be just catching up, and it’s less daunting a task for me.

We shot this three weeks ago in Tagaytay. Jeff and I were bracing ourselves for the summer heat. Imagine our surprise when it started raining cats and dogs in the middle of the shoot. Thankfully, Eric and Ann were great sports, we were able to use the rain to our advantage and had an amazing shoot even partly because of it. Jeff and I have always wanted to shoot in the rain, and somehow things just fell into place that afternoon. We had a blast with these two and can’t wait till their wedding on the 29th! They’re so cute together, and I absolutely adore Ann. I could go on but I’ll save the rest for when I blog their wedding. This goes down as one of our favorite engagement shoots ever.

Javier and Marie’s Bohol Wedding, 12.08.09

Saturday, March 20, 2010 Posted in Engagement Portraits, Weddings

Preps: Bohol Beach Club
Ceremony: Church of Our Lady of Assumption
Reception: Terraza de Mariveles

Jeff and I flew out the day before Javi and Marie’s wedding for their engagement shoot. Our flight was delayed, but we made it in time to catch two more hours of glorious Bohol sun, and shot one of our favorite engagement sessions to date. I’m sharing a few photos from that below. I’ll post more in our galleries soon as I get around to redesigning that.

This Bohol wedding was so much fun. We got to work with videographers (and newlyweds!) Bim and Gen Teocson, and hair and makeup artists Angie and Ogie again, who have become our destination wedding buddies of sorts. We somehow end up working on the same out of town weddings often. We joined them in Baguio shortly after, but that’s another blog post altogether. Dinner before the wedding was incredibly fun, and they had us laughing so hard I felt like my face was going to explode.

We woke up to a beautiful morning and joined the bride and groom at the Bohol Beach Club where we found the gorgeousness that is Veluz‘ work. (You can read her take on the wedding here.) I could take pictures of her gowns forever. Marie looked absolutely stunning in her dress, and Javi looked quite dashing in his Barong Tagalog as well. So many people flew in for their wedding, so much that practically everyone we were with at the airport flying in and out of Bohol was a guest of theirs. The mood was fun and lighthearted that day, and people partied the night away.

There was a flowergirl I absolutely adored. She fell madly in love with her dress; she looked at it and touched it with the kind of great awe only children can muster. She twirled around in it all night long, lost in her own little world. She got a picture of herself wearing her dress and the look on her face was so ‘Wow, I can’t believe this pretty girl is me’ that I just wanted to pick her up and hug her.

Javi and Marie, being a part of your wedding was such a treat for us. Thank you for having us there, and for the lovely emails you sent us when you got your DVDs. They were greatly appreciated, more than you know. We’ve missed you guys, and were happy to see Marie at Gary and Aileen’s wedding a couple of weeks ago. Wish you could’ve been there, Javi. We might be in Singapore this August, maybe we can catch up over coffee again. Much love from me and Jeff!
