If there is one thing I hate the most, it is waking up very early in the morning. Ok maybe next to negativity and mayonnaise, but it’s up there with the things I hope do not exist in life. My profession as a photographer is as ideal as it can get, but sometimes it does have days where we are required to wake-up much earlier than the usual. Case in point is today’s feature of the wedding of Natassha and Charles, in which the scheduled ceremony of 10am had me up and about as early as 4am. There are days that I only start to sleep at this time. While it is starting to sound like I am complaining, let me say that in most cases I would be, but not this time. The moment I went in and saw Nikky being made-up for her wedding, I honestly felt that it will be one of the most exciting and beautiful days ever. And you know what? That was exactly how the day had been. From that very early hours up to almost the next day, I witnessed and took part in what was the most heartfelt, most beautiful and most well thought-of weddings I’ve seen. We were treated with such warmth and with so many arrays of amazing scenes to photograph that we hope you appreciate in the photos below. It may not be easy to wake-up very early for unusual wedding schedules like this, but if only to shoot […]

We kill ourselves to give the best photos to our beloved clients. But with us, it only starts with the photos as the same effort is exerted with every other aspect of the experience – from inquiry up to even after the delivery of the products. While what we do is commendable, we really have acknowledge that, in the same manner, we are lucky as well. We are booked by client who are the most respectful, trusting, and driven. All these are achieved with that extraordinary synergy. As we share with you today Thea and Pierre’s wedding, let me also share you what they have to say about their entire experience with us so far. I believe while these photos are beautiful, their meaning and appreciation are taken to a whole new level when these very subjects’ thought are shared with them as well. To Our Dearest Oly, Thank you for taking such wonderful photos during our wedding day. You vibrant personality and passion with what you do made is so easy for us to pose in front of the camera. In fact instead of having that feeling that “we just had to do it” we were actually having fun, and we were honoured to do it. Now, personally, we know what sets you apart. You work using not only your head, but your heart and soul. You do things not for yourself but for who your deeds are for and we are one lucky couple to have you as […]

I’ve heard it said – and I guess you’ve heard it too – that people come into our lives for a reason. I’ve always been certain that this is true. Some are meant to stay for a short time but some are meant to stay forever. On today’s feature, I share how Nikki and Jeff proclaim to the world that they were meant to do just that, stay with each other forever. We were a witness to this love during the time we shot their amazing prenup in Batanes several months back (click here to their amazing photos). We have grown really close since, including their families, and have nothing but love for these two amazing individuals. People come and go and just like Nikki is to Jeff, and vice-versa, some will stay forever. With us clients also come and go, and with Nikki and Jeff we also have proof that there will be some that will stay forever, maybe not physically but as friends and, particularly with Nikki, as a testament of a true blue #metrophotobride. ___________________ Suppliers: Photo: Oly Ruiz Make-up Pong Niu Gown: Michael Leyva Coordination: Rita Neri Event Planners Video: Kristopher King Caldera Flowers and Styling: Jo Claravall Reception: City of Dreams Manila Emcee: Max Tiu
