Back from Davao

February 24, 2010

I just got back today from Davao where I attended our annual Singles For Christ International Conference (SFC ICON). Its 3 days of listening, communicating and worshiping God. Our theme and anchor verse is from Colossians 2:6-7, “6 And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” My personal message for this conference is to live full-on for Christ with no compromise and be obedient to his will.  I am also blessed and thankful that I was able to share this experience with my household or small bible study group that I lead together with Pam, my household partner. After Sunday’s final conference session, we toured around Davao thanks to Sheila. Here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come.

And by the way here’s Tristan and and Gen’s (My good friends in SFC  who’s getting married this October)  impromptu engagement shoot at Samal Island.

Also, here’s the video highlights of SFC ICON 2010.

Busy season is over but so many things keep coming up like writing articles, teaching photography and meeting couples for inquiries. However late this post maybe, I still believe its never too late to share great stories like this one.  GP is a modern day hero, he’s a helicopter pilot of the Philippine Air Force. Tanya is the daughter of General Jun Esperon, former Armed Forces Chief of Staff. There’s a lot of military history that runs between these two. I met them about two months before their wedding, which was kind of  late to book a photographer since their wedding was on December, super peak season by the way. Mayone Bakunawa, make-up artist extraordinaire, was instrumental in pointing them towards my way. She told GP and Tanya that we use the song ” I Can Only Imagine” for our on-site photo slideshows, a song they love and wanted to use for their wedding. True enough the song best describes their wedding day. A day filled with  anticipation, warmth  and love. I’ll let the images tell the story…

I love the details of their wedding – Custom Made M&M’s

The gowns…

GP’s Military Formals. Aside from their garden wedding ceremonies in Sofitel, I got extra excited when they told me it would be in Military tradition.

This is Mayone by the way being her silly self …I recommend you try her out for your bridal make-up.

A nice moment with Tanya and her sisters.

Tanya was a natural at striking a pose.

I light moment. I love making my brides laugh as it keeps them relaxed.

GP’s classmates from PMA getting ready for their wedding duties.

Mother and her daughter kiss before meeting GP…one of the most touching scene’s I have witnessed.

Happiness written all-over GP’s face and Tanya’s Dad watches her walk down the aisle.

Always a joy to experience witnessing a lovely couple set behind a beautiful sunset.

Time for some in-between portraits.
