In one of my tweets last month, I mentioned about an e-session in UP unlike any other. Well, here it is =) Shot inside Guerero Theater in Palma Hall, Paolo and Jhona were able to set-up something you would not imagine outside the campus - even outside the country. hahaha =)

Paolo and Jhona are college sweethearts from the UP theater college and there was nothing more fitting than having their awesome and high-tech e-session there. With both of them now into the business of producing and directing concerts, we thought we'd spice-up their old college theater and voila! =)

If you liked their set-up here, wait till you see what they did with their reception set-up. That's up next in the bloggity blog so stay tuned! =)

I have tons of things I wanted to say about this e-session we had in Taiwan. I could start with how this entire trip was such a gastronomic ecstasy and how I am craving everyday for a chipai! hahaha or I could say how unbelievably diverse and beautiful Taiwan is which seemed to have inexhaustible spots to shoot. It also take me probably several paragraphs to describe how awesome Duke and Irene were in all of the session we did, not to mention those astonishing gowns that Irene wore.  

But let me cut everything short and just say that this is one of my most favorite e-session sets of all time. hahaha. So go on, enjoy the photos =)  

This September, I'll be collaborating with master wedding photographer Dino Lara for a one-of-a-kind photoshoot experience. Dubbed as "Experience The Yin Yang/The Yin Yang Experience" this rare spectacle will feature two very unique but awesome styles in wedding engagement shoots. Dino's mastery when it comes to natural moments and B&W images will truly compliment Metrophoto's colorful and creative posing and shooting style - it's going to be a feast for the senses, a true Yin-Yang experience. 

To even take this opportunity even further to the next level, famed wedding make-up artist and stylist Madge Lejano will be part of the team and will provide her own expertise to all the shoots. 

There is now more to look forward to in Singapore this September aside from the Formula 1 race =) hahaha. =) 

There will be 6 slots (3 left) available from September 14-16 at 55,000 each. And it will include a 30-page 10x10 album of the whole experience

I always open my blog posts with my favorite portrait of the couple from the shoot and then I blurb about what I remember the most about the experience. Needless to say, today's post is different. This is I think the first time that I'm opening a post with a photo without my couple. hahaha. Of course this is not to take anything away from my super awesome couple - Curt and Shiela - it's more because it's the first time that my bride's shoes is almost as fab as my bride herself =) 

These incredibly chic Louboutins are just the start of the pretty things about this wedding. This being Curt and Shiela's renewal of vows (from their wedding 10 years back), their beautiful children are now witnesses to the event. What's most fun are the entertainment that Sheila prepared to surprise Curt during the party at the Terra Gallery in San Francisco - Fire dancing and Beat-boxing. 

Enjoy the photos, love them - especially those at the ceremony =)

While it's not rare for me to cover beautiful weddings week in and week out, it is a rarity for me to have such a high-profile couple, or should I say a high-flying groom and bride. hahaha =) Mac Cardona soars the Araneta Coliseum as one of the PBA's best baller. Cariz, on the other hand, does her own flying as part of the elite crew of Northwest Airlines. Awesome indeed! Not even Marvel or DC have a high-flying couple.. or there's not one I can think of - Superman and Supergirl aren't even a couple and while Jean Grey can fly, Cyclops is stuck in the ground. hahaha =)     

This was really one of my most anticipated weddings because all throughout college up before I took up my graduate studies in Ateneo I was a huge La Salle fan in the UAAP where Mac Cardona played for. But FYI, I'm not from La Salle - that is what happens when your own university suck in almost every sport except, yes, of all field, cheer dancing. hahaha. Add to that the fact that I knew Cariz would be such a wonderful bride to photograph as even undone her beauty was exquisite (I'm bidding for a second mug - hahaha kidding). 

Mac and Cariz are such nice people, we had so much fun shooting their e-session (which kind of had a "nomad" theme hahaha) and of course, their wedding was a blast. 

Enjoy the photos =)
