Paula and JR | Fernwood Gardens Tagaytay Wedding Photographer

I believe in the saying that every cloud has a silver lining, but we have to consciously look for it. This means that although bad things happen, we can see the blessings when we deliberately open our eyes to see them.  Our feature today is an example that even against the backdrop of difficult circumstances, we can still see beauty and love. Paula and JR’s wedding happened less than a month after the Taal volcano erupted and as the pandemic was starting. But nonetheless, they pushed through with it and they became a beacon of hope to the people who attended.  Paula and JR’s wedding is proof that love is immune to problems and will always prevail no matter what. I look forward to shooting weddings like this again, hopefully in the near future. Enjoy! _____________ Suppliers: Photo: Erron Ocampo Video: Forever Mine Wedding Films Coordination: Aldwin Manguiat Make-up: Barbara Bennett

The Wedding Photos of Sunshine Garcia and Alex Castro

Radiance and reflections are the two words most associated with the wedding of Sunshine Garcia and Alex Castro. And how literally appropriate they are, seeing in photos the beautifully executed reception set-up that’s filled with lights and mirrors, that brought Sunshine, and a few other people, to tears. Now if I may add, the word real should surely be up there as well. These two people are nothing but genuine first. They are transparent, they are sincere, and they are very easy to connect with. Whether it is with their love, with other people, or with each other, what you see is what you get. And we are grateful for that, as it allowed us to engage them warmly and to shoot them with so much inspiration and joy. We are excited to share with you today the official feature of the wedding of Sunshine and Alex. In them you will definitely feel the winderrful radiance and the impressive reflections that have so defined their wedding. And now, to a wonderful extent, we hope you also see the realness in every aspect of it. Enjoy.

Patricia and Lester | Iceland Pre-wedding Photographer

Last January, we squeezed in a quick but incredible trip to Iceland for Pat and Lester’s prenup shoot. This was supposed to be one of a few we planned to do with this couple before their wedding and one of many trips scheduled for Metrophoto this 2020. We all know what happened next; just a few weeks after, the world came to a grinding halt. As great as everything turned out to be from this shoot, nothing beats the impeccable timing. All of the shared experiences from this prenup shoot were already unforgettable and yet with the way we are all confined inside our countries now, let’s all say that this one was really meant ‘for the books’ or, in this case, ‘frozen in time.’ Join us in a time that seems eons ago, as we go back to Iceland with the photos and behind-the-scenes video of Patricia and Lester’s prenup shoot. Special thanks to Renz, Anthea, Jackie, and Jim for assisting me and Erron in every way possible. ____________________ Suppliers: Photo: Oly Ruiz Make up: Anthea Bueno Hairstyling: Renz Pangilinan

Sarah & Louis | Tagaytay Pre-Wedding Photos

Would you believe Sarah is utterly frightened of heights and was 4 months pregnant during our shoot? She absolutely didn’t look like she was expecting and props to her for conquering her fear of heights (and not giving birth during the shoot).

Ielle and Freil | An Intimate Wedding Photographer

Freil and Ielle were supposed to tie the knot last August 2019 but due to the pandemic and travel restrictions, they had to reschedule it since Freil, a minister based in Italy, wasn’t able to come home. The same for most of his family members who were residing in Italy. But as they say, good things come to those who wait.  They finally held their wedding last January and it was an intimate, memorable and beautiful event.  Ielle looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress and it was a joy to shoot them. An added bonus that I didn’t expect was when Ytram, one of their bridesmaids, booked us for her own wedding in May.  What a true privilege it is to be part of the love journey of these clients.  Enjoy the photos! ____________________- Suppliers: Photo: Erron Ocampo Makeup: Michelle Tamayo Coordination: Rhed Sarmiento Gown: Cecilio Abad Flowers and Styling: Gary Abar Dacanay Suit: Ryan A.

Osaka Japan Pre-Debut Photos | Gail and Giann

Japan is top on the list of our most favourite places to shoot and to simply visit. Shooting the pre-debut shoot of Gail and Giann in Osaka was something different to the usual pre-wedding shoots that we do here – we can say that it was enjoying the place like much younger person. The vigor of the twins are contagious and their energy is inexhaustible. While we were there, we were able to cover so much ground and we were able to experience so much fun.
