Here is part two of our back-to-back feature of Aileen and Byron’s e-session and wedding. As beautifully tranquil and soothing their e-session photos were, it is a big contrast to what their wedding was all about – crowded, non-stop, and very much festive. It also adds to the excitement that it was held in Bacolod, one of my favorite places to visit and shoot.

Bacolod is the hometown of Aileen. Needless to say, we expected quite a big turnout of guests and more importantly, we felt we’re home. The people are very nice and we had access to pretty much anything we needed – for the shoot and everything else.

Aileen and Byron are probably the most preoccupied couple I’ve had. Incidentally, the timelines of them opening-up the first Broasters franchise outside the US and their wedding aligned with one another and obviously that would entail some compromises. Nonetheless, both were successfully dealt with and they had such a beautiful and unforgettable wedding and now an equally successful store in Robinson’s Magnolia (you have got to try it).

So please do enjoy the second part of our back-to-back posts and if you’re craving for some healthy fried chicken, you know where to go. ;)

It is my first time in Bacolod. And what better way and time to visit than to cover the beautiful wedding of Vince and Ana which was scheduled just a day before the festivities of the Maskara was set to begin. The streets of the city that they call the “City of Smiles” were lined up with banners and colorful masks that symbolize the Maskara festival.

The place, the people, the food all contributed to a great experience. I’ve been snubbing the chicken inasal all my life only for it to be my new favorite food after trying it out, authentic and sans spoon and fork style, in this very city that it came from.

One of the highlights of wedding day was when we decided to shoot in the town proper for the portraits of Vince and Ana and their bridal party. What we got were photos as colorful and as delightful as the people and spots in Bacolod city. I will definitely be back.

Enjoy the photos.
