Mars + Lei: A Sagada Engagement Session

We're happy to share with you our photos from our engagement session in sagada! It was one hell of an experience that I'm very happy to be part of - and to be able document at that. =) It was the perfect getaway, and with Mars and Lei taking care of us, things just got better =)

The weather didn't cooperate for some stretches of the trip but I think we got pretty much what we wanted - shots with those colorful mountain jeeps/trucks, shots inside the caves, shots at the lake, and yes even at the market! =) We also had infrared photography tried for the first time in engagement sessions but we're saving those shots for a post of its own. =)

Here are some behind-the-scenes shots before you go to the prenup photos.

This is us trekking down the cave full of bat dung! hahaha... it was a bit more difficult for me because I had to carry my camera with one hand but I did have my R-strap with me and that made it a bit easier =)

Seriously, it was pitch black in the caves without these lamps (we had two). So while I complained previously about how hard the shoot was in Niagara Falls, this session in the caves beats it. Totally dark, very wet, and no platforms to work with (hahaha - it's not what you think) - just all rock formations. The shots were fine but we did lose two flashes during this shoot. bummer! expensive but worth it ;)

And here we all are! Funny I was able to sport a nice smile after our second flash just gave up on us. hahaha.

Firing range! Both Rommel and I sporting the R-stap! =)

It looks like I just woke up in this photo... well, you know what? I really just woke up! =)

Group shot # 2. I hate my hair!

This is how we do engagement sessions... stand-up like robots and shoot listlessly. hahaha.

This is a favorite! although I hate the colors of this photo (dont you?).
Bruce gave a fake jump!

Okei, enough of the stories and enough about us! Here are Mars and Lei's photos. And if you want more, you can click here.
