It took a while before Jon and Mary were able to decide to book me for their wedding. But I guess, no other thing helped them but their gut-feel that it is what they really wanted – or that what was Jon told me. hahaha.

Set in the splendid venue of La Venta in Palos Verdes overlooking most of LA county, metrophoto witnessed and captured love, laughter, and the promise of forever. and as cheesy as that sounded and as much goosebumps as that gives me typing that, it’s nothing to compared to the actual superb feeling of being in the wedding itself. Emotions filled the place throughout the event.

What made the whole experience more fun was that one of my best buddies Ollie and her fiance Cristina (who you probably know if you frequent this site), and a few of our friends were there too. Plus, I have the luxury of having Noel Damarinas of Our Digital Studio second-shooting for me. =) It’s like I couldn’t ask for anything more – well maybe a little more sun throughout that day but I’ll take gloomy over rainy each and everytime =)

Enjoy the photos and some cute behind-the-scene shots at the bottom of the post =)

Here are some behind-the-scene photos of this intimately wonderful wedding =)

Throughout the course of my grueling schedule in LA and San Diego, Noel here was the man of the hour/day/week! Thanks for all the help that made us take everything even a notch higher ;)

Juju bear’s mowdelling time =)

Mary was great to work with too, such a trooper – willing to go through the shrubs for her beautiful portraits.

This is me, all fascinated with the view of LA county from La Venta. I was looking where Kobe Bryant’s house was. hahaha =)

I sat and socialized the entire reception while I let Noel do all the work! hahaha. i’m kidding, of course, I actually let Noel eat. hahaha =)

This is the metrophoto awesome-duosome group shot with jujubear and taw =)
