Dowell and Anne Nuptial

It's my privilege to shoot a friend's wedding. I've known Dowell for years already and I just got surprised to learn he'll be getting married. I thought he won't be anymore. I was right after all, he's a chickboy. :-D Lucky girl is Anne. I just met her on the wedding day itself. Very "childish". I mean she's full of energy and smiles. Ryan, who accompanied me (very kind guy), and I enjoyed our bridal photoshoot that we already forgot all about the wedding ceremony. :-D

It's a great day as Ryan always mentioned. Indeed. We've learned a lot and we were able to maximize our love for this job. It was very tiring and terribly hot that time but it's all worth it. We were at the church balcony at the end of the day, enjoying the wind, congratulating ourselves for job well done, and enjoying being served with food and drinks and all. Unlimited. :-D There's so many visitors but the food keeps on coming. ;-D

Here are some snaps...









The chalice above is what they used in the wedding ceremony. It was a personalized item of Fr. Mon Torres. Very detailed design and it's darn heavy. I bet it's also very expensive. I think it's a combination of gold and platinum.

I didn't post photos of Dowell. He's very camera shy. :) But here's a bonus photo. ;-)



Nice for avatar, huh Rye? :)

I wish to share more but I haven't processed them yet. I have to finish three major backlogs first. Maybe I'll just update this again next time. :)

Random Shots

I drove to Fontana a while ago to meet my cousin and his family. While waiting for them, I took my time to relax at the clubhouse's lobby. I also looked around for any interesting subjects that a photographer can shoot. Nothing much, I told myself. It's just sala set, and big pillars. But that triggered me to take up a challenge. I was bringing my camera so I decided to play a game. Shoot whatever I can from where I'm sitting without lifting my butt. :) Good thing, a kid started to play and run back and forth. :)





I'm starting to like shooting kids portrait. They're so natural and innocent. :) I'm sure his parents will love these photos. :)

Then I just turned my head left and right and here's what I got.





Not bad at all huh. Moral lesson from the experience is you can produce great random images from wherever you are sitting or standing. :)

Time to reformat my memory cards. Wedding shoot tomorrow. :)

Avii turns 18 :)

I was browsing my files and I almost forgot about this cool event held last March 29. This debut celebration was somehow the hippest I've attended so far. The occasion was a very good mix of rave party and formal debut (complete with 18 roses and wishes). Venue was at the luxurious and cozy Mimosa Hilltop in Clarkfield, yet, they were able to pull off one great informal event.


Nope, she's not the debutant. She (or he) was one of the hosts for the event. :)


The debutant with some of her favorite friends.


I used to dance like this way back... NOT! :-D


Avii's transferring somewhere far so...


That's her mom. Lovely. :)


Avii was full of energy the whole night without losing her composure. :)


Dance performances were everywhere. Very talented young guys (Geez, I'm old?). :-D


And more dances... :)
