Its been a while since I shared an on-site photo slideshow. I’d like to share this one since it was a great effort by our team that day. Great shots from Noel Salazar and Jamie Lihan. A lovely wedding in Calaruega…I’ll let the video speak for itself…

I made an unofficial save the date video from the snaps I took that day. I used Animoto and it whipped up something really cool…Jayjay’s still cooking up the real thing…for the meantime here’s my version :)

I just came back from Tagaytay and had a great  wedding shoot. I never met Jiggs and Jen until today and they booked me on complete trust after seeing my website, a blessing by itself. There were a lot of firsts in this wedding one of which is that this one is the smallest most laid back wedding I ever shot, more of this story on my complete post. Here’s some of my favorite shots from this wedding. Another wedding shoot later, Jasondeg and I are shooting Elmer and Gie, our friends from Singles for Christ.

Jason and Loi Engaged!

May 11, 2009

Finally! Here’s one of the most anticipated shoot we’ve all been waiting for. Our dear friend and fellow Imagine Nation photograher, Jason De Guzman is getting married this July. Of course we won’t let him get married without an engagement shoot… the Imagine Nation Experience way! For the official post check out Erron’s blog, he was the main guy for this day but we all tagged along to show our love and support to Jason and Loi.You can also check out Jayjay’s blog for his shots that day. Tiqui and Gracielle will be posting their share soon

Here are some of my takes from that day. Our call time was 5am since we were going the distance for this shoot. The destination, Anawangin. We stopped over for some breakfast at NLEX and we saw this beautiful cloud formations just before sunrise.

After a hearty lunch, time to get to business…these two are so effortless to shoot and are so natural in front of the camera.

Since Erron was the lead that day, I tried not to get in his way and I concentrated in capturing the unseen moments.

My favorite for the day. I was ahead of them and I when I looked backed I saw them walking back and I just loved the background and how the afternoon sun’s golden light hit them…so natural.

This one was requested by Jason a tribute to Sir Jong’s Dubai shoot.

I met Benj and April last December for Coffee at Starbucks and they booked me on the spot  that day.  Time really flies and I just finished shooting them yesterday. It was a very relaxed and fun day and we got to work with the industry’s coolest suppliers Chinky Uy-Agregado of Metroeventscape Planners for the wedding coordination and Bob Nicolas for the video coverage. More about that on the complete post. I’ll leave you with one of my faves for this wedding. I’m off to Baguio today till thursday for our family vacation.
