The much-awaited photos from the wedding of PBA star cager LA Tenorio and Chesca Bugia are finally here. =) It was one of the last weddings we had for 2010 and it was such grand and graceful way to end the year.

Chesca, who was spectacularly gorgeous during that evening, had wanted a Grecian theme for their wedding and these were evident in the colors, details, and the gowns of her entourage. It was played out beautifully throughout the wedding and even before that big day actually when we had the theme going-on during their lovely engagement session shoot. In more precise terms, Chesca wanted to fell of the movie 300, sans the nudity and barbarity of course. hahaha.

There were quite a few familiar and famous personalities that were present in the event. Since LA and Chesca were college sweetheart from Ateneo where LA played, much of his teammates during those years were there – Wesley Gonzales, Rich Alvarez, Chris Tiu, JC Intal, Larry Fonacier, Enrico Villanueva and Chesca’s borther Paolo Bugia. =) I felt like a smurf around them. hahaha. There were also a number of celebrities during the event – most notably Vhing Navarro and John Lloyd Cruz who were part of LA’s entourage. =) Scroll down to see more of this wonderful event PLUS commentaries and captioning by me =) hahaha!

Chesca’s gown was a masterpiece by Amir Sali. The attention needed for this cannot be described better by the fact that Amir booked only ONE wedding for the entire month of December to make sure that it is as perfect as it can be. With a price tag like this one, I’m sure i’ll be fine with just one project a month. =)

LA’s fine shoes are of the brand Tenorio. How often does one get to wear shoes after your own name right? Well, unless you surname is Choo or Louboutin or better yet Lopez (for Rusty) hahaha.

LA and his boys. The incomplete version – later JC Intal and John Lloyd Cruz will join them.

Isabel, Chesca’s sister, had a touching moment with Chesca just before they marched.

For their portrait shots, LA and Chesca specifically wanted night shots around the rockwell tent area. It was challenging but they were fab =)

The lovely reception set-up and sumptuous food was prepared by Kaye Cunanan who happens to be a very close friend of the couple.

Worked this wedding with Bong Sare of Threelogy and Chinky Uy-Agregado of Metro Evenscape.

After covering the weddings of Mac-mac Cardona and Jimmy Alapag, the third of metrophoto’s own Mythical Five is none other than Ace point guard LA Tenorio.

Amusive is the word to describe when I remember back in my high school when I was a huge huge fan of the PBA and saw an exhibition game where they featured young cagers and I was so amazed at how one sixth-grader singlehandedly dominated the game like he was an import. That boy is of course LA, who’s heart is bigger than his gigantic hands and it’s his turn to tie the knot today. =)

Before the today’s wedding vows, we’d like to bring you the photos from the e-session of LA and Chesca that we shot all-around Rizal. =) Chesca wanted the deep brown feel similar to that of the movie 300 and I said we’d veer toward that but maybe not as brown and not as grungy. hahaha. After all they both look so elegant and beautiful to do so. Chesca wore gowns designed for the shoot by Amir Sali which will also do her gown for today’s event. =)

Enjoy the photos =)
