Happy new year! =) 


I thought of having an annual year-end blog post where I would award the best photos from throughout the year. It was a fun and exciting idea but I don't have the time. And after all, it would take me days just to figure out from all of our shoots deserve a recognition. So maybe next month when I finish posting all of the shoots from 2009 =) 


Meanwhile, you can all enjoy this e-session set of Karl and Alanna from Cubao Expo in Quezon City. It was an interesting place and we had a great time playing around the shops in the complex from the cute to the bizarre =) 


And if you think these photos are nice, I say you wait for my post tomorrow of their wedding photos. Those ones brings in more bang than your neighbor's labintador last New Year's eve. =)

Karl and Alanna:

Oly! Thank you for the blog posts! Sayang, you didn't post my favorite--those steamy shots of us with the books! Hehe. But it's OK! We had so much fun during the shoot. It really helps when you say "Beautiful!" after taking a shot--makes us non-models feel like we're actually worthy to be models, haha! Would love to do it again and stare at 'em pictures that make you say "Ahh" and "Ooh" and "Wow"! :o)

...And oh, if ever you need models for your photo shoots, *ahem* let us know! Hahaha

The more shoots there are, the more frequent I should post blogs right? Because if I will use my shoots as an excuse not to blog, how will I be able to catch-up and feature all of metrophoto's wonderful couples right? =) So yes, let's continue with blogging =) 

I am in no way a fashion or a commercial photographer. I like to take cracks at these type of genre whenever I can but they definitely don't tickle my fancy. Except of course only when one of my couples specifically requests for them =) 

Jimmy and Lesley wanted something high-fashion and magazine-ad-like. They had this whole pile of cut-outs (more like rip-offs) that they showed me as pegs. Since I'm nice and since I think I'm good, I said yes. hahaha. Plus they did say Jesy Alto and Raymond Ko will be there to doll and style them up so I was sold. =) After a lot of food and a nice overnight in Punta Fuego, here are the photos =) be nice ;) hahaha

We are in the middle of a crazy month for weddings. And while we have our subtle share of all the wonderful chaos that's been happening, i thought it would also be nice to just keep posting updates on the blog for our dear readers. After all, it's my last chance for the year to be nice and make-up for all the delays (non-posts) in my blogposts - I'd still love to get a really cool gift from santa. =)

Here are Ron and Cate's photos from their e-session in San Francisco last July. =) They are set to tie the knot in Manila this Wednesday, December 23rd. Shot in the Embarcadero and in the Palace of Fine Arts, we had a great time seeping through parking lots and climbing structures (you'd see that under the huge construction in the center was where Sean Connery met her daughter and got caught in the movie The Rock).

Enjoy the photos =)

Guess who was with me in the shoot? =)
