Our Subic bride and groom wanted nothing but a chill engagement session, at which, Carla requested for us to shoot at a Ministop branch they own, at the heart of SBMA. With a few chips that got tossed, a few bottles of liquor and softdrinks that got took out of the freezer, we were able to pull off this one-of-a-kind session (And did I mention that I went inside the freezer to shoot?).
Arjay and Joycee booked us at the Weddings and Beyond Bridal Fair last January 2020. Our initial plan was to do their pre-wedding shoot last February in Singapore (alongside our vacation trip), but with the pandemic looming right around the corner, we did not push through. Back in Manila, we decided to do the “Earth, Wind, Fire and Water”-themed shoot at The Heirloom Manila, with Arjay and Joycee’s leaning towards architecture and vintage looks.
Milo was an officemate of mine back when I was still working in the BPO industry. When I saw online about his engagement with Prousel, I was very eager to pitch the idea of us working together for their dream wedding. Milo and Prousel wanted to do the Engagement Session by the beach, so we suggested a ton of beaches in the South. We ended up doing the shoot at Stilts – a very common beach location, so we we’re challenged to take a different approach with this, but we we’re able to pull off an amazing set.
Before everything dived into the year-long quarantine, one of the bravest couples we have ever met – Roy and Mita – went on with us to make photographs. These photos we’re made ONE DAY BEFORE THE ECQ.
It’s not our first time making photos of “Men and Women in Uniform”, but this is our first time wherein BOTH the couple are members of the Philippine National Police. Mark reminds me of Resident Evil’s Chris Redfield, while Rachelle reminds me of Dino Crisis’ Regina, especially when they put out their firearms (mind you, they are LEGIT, and they are heavy). No lives were harmed during the period of the shoot. So here’s the full set of their photos, in one of our “Bucketlist”-ed locations; The Northern Blossom Flower Farm, in Atok, Benguet, and Baguio.
It was a regular day for us when I received the call from Chad. I didn’t have any idea that it would be the day that will change our lives. Chad and Jec we’re already married (in a civil ceremony, 2017). Two years after, they’ll be married in a catholic ceremony. Chad called me and was, at first, sounding hesitant, asking about our wedding photo and video packages. It was then when he told me the whole story behind him, asking for our rates (even though their already posted in our SHOP Tab). Chad and Jec decided that they want us to tell their wedding story. So we decided to meet them up, plan and finalize everything. With this in mind, we did not want to waste Chad and Jec’s trust, so we dealt with the cards that we’re given to us and these – these photos of them – are what we made. More than just clients, Chad and Jec became totally close to our hearts. It’s like meeting that friend you have in your past life, in the present. So here’s the full set of their Engagement Session, with a little bit of rain, but a ton of love and laughter.
Back in 2016, at the UAAP Cheerdance Competition, news broke out about a Med School Student who said YES to a wedding proposal during the same event. Indeed, a lot of reasons to cheer and celebrate. Come 2019, here they are, getting married, and, we’re very lucky to be the one’s who will make their wedding photos and videos. Here’s the full set of Fonci and Reg’s Engagement Session at Casa Bendita.
Paolo and Issa booked us at the Getting Married Bridal Fair last January 2019. Talk about “three time’s a charm”, Pao and Issa took, not one, not two, but three roam-arounds before they decided to book us. Kayle was nervous (oh, those pretty rare times my wife gets this feeling), discussing everything to them, with Pao, having the serious and stern look at her, with his arms crossed across his chest. Imagine: Tony Stark or Doctor Strange, giving you that questioning look. Come their Engagement Session, that stern look of Pao was nowhere to be seen! Issa was all smiles, while their bundle of joy, Lance, was all jealous and hyperactive! I remember asking them to “Say something expensive!”, and their response got me caught off guard…they both said RAINWALKER, in full conviction! Here’s the full set of their E-session Photos. A home-y and warm one, from us at Rainwalker Photography.
Crisostomo and I share something in common: we proposed to our significant other in a very, very discreet manner. For me, it was with Kayle’s dad, while for him, it was with Hannah’s mom – we did not propose directly to our significant others, but to their parents! Like literally...
POTTERHEADS UNITE!!! Here’s our take at a Harry Potter-inspired Engagement Session! A little backstory: Ronald and Kathlyn booked us at the Getting Maried Bridal Fair, last January 2019. Topz, my co-Nikon Pilipinas group member, connected us with them, they checked our work online, they visited our booth and that day, they booked us for probably one of the HOTTEST wedding dates this year! (We had to decline 7 inquiries for Ronald and Kathlyn’s wedding date). Both of them are Potterheads (well, actually bookworms; the Rowling and Riordan type!), and I got totally excited when they decided to have a Harry Potter-inspired Engagement Session. Looking for a location proved to be a challenge. Good thing, Kayle and Kathlyn are both UST alumni. That moment, everything fell into place – Hogwarts x Espanya, it is! See the full set of their magical prenup at the heart of U-belt. Oh, and don’t worry, even Lord Voldemort APPROVES!
