I know I'm behind posting weddings here in my blog when it's already September and I'm just posting one of my June weddings. So yes, this wedding was from a couple of months back but it's definitely one of my favorites. =) 

If Chok and Joe seem familiar to you, it's because they had a kick-ass engagement session inside NAIA Terminal 3 which I also featured a few months back. =) There we played with paper airplanes inside the airport and had one of the most unique shoots I've ever done. 

To make everything consistent, Chok and Joe reserved a special location for our portrait session on their wedding day. It was this huge hangar right inside the airport complex where we can even see NAIA T3 from far away. =) Now how can you not love couples who take the extra effort in making sure that they inject their own unique style to their wedding and their photosessions right? yes, you'll love them to bits! =) 

And yes, you'll love their photos to bits as well =) Enjoy =)

Today, our adorable little Lana Oasis turns three. She fills our everyday with sweet kisses (and hugs like on the photo above), witty and cute questions, some sunshine and a lot of whining - irresistible ones. hahaha =) She also calls everyone Bolok when she tries to be funny or when she's trying to annoy someone - especially her Kuya Lance. hahaha! 

Happy Birthday Lana bolok! =) We love you so much =)

  hahaha! I like this one below. it's one of my fave bride poses that Lana surprisingly knows how to do. That's what she gets by sitting on daddy's lap while daddy is working =) 

Then she starts to get annoyed. hahaha. It's a classic face with a classic phrase "You're bad!, I don't like you!" hahaha. 

With her Kuya Lance =)

To those who were able to run through my previous post about Paulo and Jhona's e-session must now know what to expect from this new post. As awesome as that e-session of them was, it was sort-of nothing compared to how grand and fabulous their wedding was. =) 

Let's start off with an exclusive ALL-ACCESS prep shoot at the Trader's Hotel in Manila. It was honestly the first time we shot in the hotel but it didn't disappoint at all. The rooms were of modern glam feel and we had access to any part of the hotel that we wanted to shoot at. You should really check out the cool portraits of Paulo that we shot at the top of the hotel and inside its facilities. 

And then how about a portrait shoot inside a huge carousel? I thought I had to go as far as Sta. Rosa Laguna just to get something this whimsically awesome. =) 

The event was capped with a full production set-up inside One Esplanade. With Paulo and Jhona being in the concert and production field, I felt that we were covering GMA's (or ABS-CBN's) 50th year celebration with all the lights and swooping equipment. =) 

So go ahead, enjoy the photos. I didn't purposely mention the fab Louboutins of Jhona, I thought we have too much awesomeness from one wedding already. =) hahaha.
