We’re taking you back to Singapore once again.

Since the last 3-4 years, Singapore has been more ubiquitous to us Filipinos. It just seems that more and more people from here are working and living there. It is becoming too significant to us that if I were Cebu, I’d be jealous. hahaha. I bet that for every Korean that comes here in the Philippines, there is a Filipino that go to Singapore. Or maybe not, who am I kidding, we’d be a province of South Korea first even before we can take over Singapore.

Given that that is the situation, you get to see more and more shoots from Singapore and it’s always a challenge to shoot either somewhere differently or differently in the already popular locations, or both. It is a challenge of course that we always welcome, giving couples something unique, something that they can claim as their own are priceless pride and joy :)

Last week we featured Rolly and Rachelle’s one-of-a-kind Trash the Dress in Singapore and this time we’re bringing you Louis and Marion’s engagement session in the not-so-used Emerald Hill area and the Orchard Center and then in the overly-used Helix Bridge. In all spots, we made sure that we provided them with something different, something nice, and a whole lot of metrophoto :)

Enjoy.

While I nurse the trauma of having our car broken into and having a handful of our equipment stolen today in San Francisco in broad daylight, posting these wonderful photos from Rolly and Rachel’s TTD in Singapore last month should really help me forget about that incident. :)

Rachel trashed her Veluz gown one rainy Singapore day. We started at the Fullerton Hotel and walked (or should I say boated) our way up to the Marina and the new Skypark at the Marina Bay Sands. We had some really awesome locations and concepts so we hope you do enjoy this post. :)

Thanks to Wilz, Jericho, Mikmok, and Jun for joining us in this shoot :)

Recently, Metrophoto and Dino Lara went to Singapore and teamed-up to shoot engagement sessions of unparalleled creativity and rawness. And to make the entire experience even more unprecedented, Madge Lejano worked her own skills to doll-up our already beautiful bride, Christa and her fiance, Ernest. And just to add a big-name element to what is already a huge line-up, Jason Magbanua was there to add spice and everything else that’s nice. This, everyone, is what we call, The Yin-Yang Experience.

From the helix bridge to way up the skypark on top of the new Singapore Sands Marina (where what we did is actually not allowed), we had a day filled with nothing but pure awesomeness. Ok, there were a few dorkiness here and there but don’t blame me for that. hahaha.

So here are the photos from Metrophoto’s side of the fence, which is of course just half of the puzzle. =) Enjoy them and the some outtakes at the bottom of the post =)

Dino Lara, for me he’s Merlin of the wedding photography world – not because he’s old (because clearly he’s not!) but because he’s the Master =)

At work and getting all creative.


While we were there, we chanced upon a seemingly random couple.

Thanks for Jmag for being our light-painter. =)

And to Marvin for the extra pair of hands ;)

Here’s another of one of my favorite shoots in Singapore. How can I not love this session of Marvin and Jesy when we had the opportunity to shoot on top of the roof of Chimes right in front of Orchard Road. It was fun and intense and I wanna call out both of them for being brave enough (and criminal enough) to do something illegal. hahaha. Im kidding =) 

We finished off around the Fullerton area where the nightscape and the scenes were fantastic. Truly an awesome experience and even awesomER photos. hahaah! enjoy =)

It’s always a great feeling being in Singapore, there is something in this city that just inherently inspires me as an artist and as a visitor. And while I can’t exactly pinpoint what that is, what I’m sure is that this trip will yet again be over-the-top as we are rolling the first of our Yin-Yang experience series.

Now as we get the Yin-Yang phenomenon going here in Singapore with Dino Lara and Madge Lejano (and Jason Magbanua), I thought it’s the perfect time to showcase my e-sessions in Singapore from my last trip here a couple of months back. =)

For this post, I’m sharing the photos of Bem and Ahn from Universal Studios in Singapore.

Hope you enjoy these as much as we enjoyed shooting in the theme park sans the rides =)
