Shari and Derrick | Manila Marriott Hotel Wedding

Here at Metrophoto, building relationships with our clients, bringing out the best in them during every shoot and exceeding their expectations is what we aim to do. That is why we do what we do, exerting our 110% effort at every event we shoot. This is the reason why even though it was Paolo who shot the Tinghun of Shari and Derrick, it wasn’t hard for me to connect with them during their wedding day. Two words to describe this couple would be fun and candid. But what’s amazing about them is that they transformed dramatically once in front of the camera. They weren’t shy to do every pose I instructed them to do. Weddings are delightful and it’s always a privilege to be part of a couple’s big day. As you look at our photos, don’t be distracted by the exquisite styling done by the talented Gideon Hermosa because after all, the star of the day is our charming bride, Shari, and her radiant groom, Derrick. Enjoy! ______________ Suppliers: Photo: Erron Ocampo Coordination: Getting Married Philippines Video: Bob Nicolas Make-up: Mariah Santos Gown: Patricia Santos Officiel Styling: Gideon Hermosa Emcee: Eri Neeman Venue: Manila Marriott Hotel

Anika and Christian | The Manila Peninsula Wedding Photographer

Our feature today is all about the exciting, fun and daring, Anika and her husband, Christian. Anika was a very beautiful bride and easy to get along with. There was something about her that draws people to her. What I loved most about her was that she knew what she wanted. Because she wanted to sparkle from head to toe on her special day, she made sure that she would look exactly as she envisioned. And what a vision she turned out to be! The reception set up was also on point. As you scroll through the pictures below, we hope you will be dazzled not only by the beauty of Anika but also by the love of Christian and Anika.

Liane and Sherwin | A Manila Intimate Wedding Photographer

“It’s because of you that I’m living the good life” Due to some unexpected circumstances, I had to shoot the wedding of Liane & Sherwin alone, not even an assistant, all by myself. I was under a lot of pressure, but I pushed through. Had to shoot everything. Told them at the end of the day why I had to be shooting alone. They were actually surprised to know I was shooting by myself. They didn’t even notice. I too was surprised they didn’t even realize it was a one-man team. All did go well and it was an absolutely gorgeous intimate wedding.

Francis Libiran & Christian Mark Jacobs Boracay Love Wins Celebration

Love is love is love is love. It encompasses all and transcends every barrier. After all, love always wins. So much has been said and still so many things to say about the beautiful love celebration of Francis and Christian. From the all the gorgeous details, how annoyingly handsome this couple is, their dashing and stylish guests, we can go on and on. But the extraordinary love between these two is the center of it all. It was a splendid afternoon to get married in the world-famous island of Boracay, Philippines. Surrounded by the love and support of their family and friends from all over the world, Francis and Christian exchanged their heartwarming vows to each other that left most eyes overflowing with joy. The “wedding” they celebrated may not be legally binding yet but it is binding between them and all those who came to witness and rejoice with them. The two have plans to officially make it legal in the US some time next year. Since this is quite a long post, I will stop here and let you enjoy the photos.

The Tale of Two Princes | Francis Libiran & Christian Mark Jacob’s Pre-Wedding

You’ve probably read this phrase a few times now, please let me share a bit about the story behind it. Christian had his friend create a charming hand-drawn story book telling the story of how he and Francis met in Paris a couple of years back. The book’s characters are the Tall Prince – Christian, and the Handsome Prince – Francis. It detailed how the Tall Prince missed his flight back home and had to book a later flight and he decided to spend the day in a cafe, and there he laid eyes on the Handsome Prince. It was a serendipitous meeting of two people from opposite sides of the world. As they lived thousands of miles away from each other, they made sure they would go on trips and spend time together as much as they can. They didn’t let the distance get between them. A year after they met during that wonderful day in that cafe in Paris, they find themselves back in the most romantic city in the world. The Handsome Prince had no idea that the Tall Prince prepared a picnic for them. The book would continue to read “During the picnic, while snuggled on a blanket reading a book together, the Tall Prince got down on one knee as he pulled out a shiny red box with gold trimming. And then…”. that was how Christian proposed. Love is universal, it encompasses all creatures. We in Metrophoto believe in love and all its forms. Please enjoy […]

Shangri-la Boracay Wedding of Kisses & Arnold

A beautiful wedding is more than the venue, the decors and all the details, it’s also the people present surrounding the couple. Having said that, the splendor of the Island of Boracay, all the exquisite details (the divine Monique Lhuillier dress of Kisses, and Arnold’s Louboutin shoes among others), all the lovely people present, and of course, the stunning bride and the dapper groom, makes for a glamorous island wedding. Hope you enjoy Kisses and Arnold’s wedding photos as much as we enjoyed photographing their wedding.

Cologne, Germany Post-Wedding | Roslyn & Jannis

When I went to Europe last year, I had the amazing privilege to go to the historical Cologne City in Germany and shoot the post-wedding session of Roslyn & Jannis. We were fortunate to have a clear sunny day for the shoot as days before and the days following were cold, gloomy and rainy. The Cologne Cathedral is the most visited landmark in the city and paired with the Hohenzollern Bridge, it makes for an extraordinary view. We also visited Schlosspark Brühl, a palace nearby and enjoyed an afternoon stroll around the garden. And then I realized it was no longer the afternoon, sunset was at 9pm and I totally forgot that we were still shooting well into the bright early evening.

Tessa and Dennis | Balesin Pre-25th Anniversary Photos

Tessa and Dennis’ love for each other is like the sun; it’s both warm and bright. I enjoyed seeing them full of life. I could see the joy and excitement in their eyes. One look at them and you could immediately see that their married life is full of warmth. I saw how safe and comfortable Tessa was in the arms of Dennis. They needed no reason to love each other, they just do. As Paulo Coelho once said, “One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.” Scroll through our pictures and see the life and warmth of this couple. Enjoy!
