Allen, had one shot in mind: He wanted a “Kiss the Bride”, Wide-angled, Crowd-applauding photo. So…WE OBLIGED! Oh, the things we do for what we really love – Documenting and Re-telling Wedding Stories!
Andrew is a man of few words, while Madonna is the exact opposite – bubbly and full of energy. There came a point when I asked both of them to climb a part of Chateau de Tagaytay, which required them to hop on a stepladder. Andrew obliged, with no words, while Madonna…well, let’s just say we heard every curse a Filipina can tell. “Ang hilig mo magpa-akyat no?” (sarcasm) – words that ring in my ears every time I remember that moment with them.
Kevin and Ingrid’s love story is one for the books. I have known the two of them for like forever. Back in highschool, we we’re all under the Special Science Curriculum of Caloocan High, under DOST – that was 18 years ago, if I’m not mistaken. What I love most about Kevin and Ingrid’s Wedding are the surprises, one of which was when Stephen Xander, their son, decided that he will be the one to dress up his dad. But the bigger surprise, was when Ingrid’s Brother, Patrick, made it to the wedding. Just a backstory: Patrick told Ingrid that he will not be able to attend the wedding because of issues with his Green Card. However, Patrick’s US Citizenship Application was approved and he was flying to the Philippines for her sister’s wedding. Come the wedding day, there we’re tears of joy – Ingrid’s family knew nothing, not even a hint!
It was during our very first bridal fair (Save the Date), when we met Kath’s family, namely Daddy Mike, Mommy Violeta and James. Daddy Mike honestly told us these words: “You are professionals, and you’ve been doing this a long time. All I want are good photos for my daughter’s wedding.”. That moment, we we’re up for the challenge! Little did we know, the groom, RL, is Senator Rodolfo Biazon’s Grandson! Come the wedding day (the first time we met RL and Kath), I took the liberty and told Daddy Mike: “Daddy Mike, pusta ko, iiyak ka mamaya.”, and he replied: “Pag ako hindi naiyak sa ganda ng photos, ikaw ang iiyak sa akin.”. Challenge after challenge after challenge, we gave our best foot forward and made RL and Kath’s Wedding Story an amazing one.
Eric is a Quality Control Engineer. Joan is an architect. Popoy and Basha, as you may want to call it. Fitting with their professions, we decided to shoot at BGC (with it’s buildings and textures as backdrop) and at one of Joan’s architecture projects in Pasig.
The answer to the most asked question: Why “Rainwalker”, or why not?
