Time and place will never be a factor if you have couple who looks like them. With these faces, you can create endless possibilities and explore every direction. If there’s a song that fits this engagement session shoot, I think It would be Rihanna’s We found Love. Even how hopeless the place is, if there’s a real love dwelling on it, it will definitely transform that hopeless place into something extraordinary. I am not saying that the places where we did the shoot were hopeless, but these are the locations that  you usually see everyday, and will never imagine that you can do something great on it plus the fact that we have to do this in a very short span of tyime — and yes, we did this shoot at Alleine’s hometown in Cavite.

Omar and Alleine met in Doha, Qatar, where they work for Al Jazeera News English. They’re both exposed in Arts & Media, so just imagine the pressure and challenge on my end. But what I can boldly remember is how much we enjoyed the shoot.

Soon, I will feature their extraordinary wedding in Tagaytay. So watch out for that, you will definitely see more extraordinary photos you’ve never seen before.

Enjoy!

To Omar and Alleine, congratulations on your new blessing.

You might wonder what the title is all about since I am not really featuring a Singaporean couple. Let me start this post by sharing you their love story based on what I can remember and what the groom shared – - – Both works in Singapore until now, but before their love story flourished into something unexplainable, they bumped into each other via a Pinoy forum, where of course, Filipinos register and discuss things like employment, career and even lovelife online. So that’s it, It all started online and the rest of that love story is forever. Please enjoy some photos of their union – - – a union truly made in heaven and in Singapore. Later, take a look at their engagement session shoot we did at the Lion City.

Here’s their engagement session we did at the Lion City. Bernie+Christine are both tennis players, thus, this session involves balls, greens & love.

I consider traveling as one of the most satisfying ways of relaxation. It enriches both my physical and mental being. But how would you explain that feeling of traveling and dreaming at the same time? I bet nostalgic is not even enough to describe it.

Joey+Lech tied the knot recently in an intimate affair, witnessed by selected family members and friends. So I decided to feature their engagement session before this will hit blogs & wall post. We decided of doing a laid-back kind of shoot but involves different aspect of travels and dream.

Thanks to the people who made this possible.

Enjoy!

Finally, I’m featuring the wedding of B+Tin. I already featured their extraordinary session here. I’m sure you loved the architectural inspired location and concept that we did.

B was my classmate during a Basic Photography workshop under Rhonson Ng some 5 years ago. I was so glad when he called me after 4 years that finally, they’re tying the knot and they are considering me to cover the wedding. I didn’t know that his then girlfriend Tin is a sister of one of my photography buddies when I was still a hobbyist. Feel pressured? Yup, I must say. But with this couple’s charm and trust, It didn’t stop me of making it different but still very personal. Thank you so much B and Tin for trusting us to do this.

I never thought that this wedding would be that emotional. Everyone was warm and happy. So, stop reading and keep scrolling down to see more. Enjoy!

Rod+Mai wanted their union to be as intimate as possible and simplified in every manner. I’m sure you would agree with me, in a place as beautiful as Santa Barbara, you don’t need to exaggerated things.

If you can still remember, I featured Rod+Mai Extraordinary Session already and yup, you’re right we did it in the same place. Santa Barbara is considered as one of the most beautiful places in the US, that celebrities like Oprah bought a property to build a peaceful sanctuary. Don’t worry, you will not see the same places as featured on their engagement session.

Mai is my wife’s dear friend, but more than being a friend – - – she treated us with respect on a professional level by giving us what we deserve and by trusting us wholeheartedly. I was so happy when my wife broke the news that they want us to cover their union. I must say more than having beautiful places to shoot, it’s really the couple’s treatment, trust and respect towards their photographer that makes it more extraordinary.

Thank you Rod+Mai, here’s a post dedicated to you. Processed with so much love – - – with our extraordinary film look style.

B and Tin wanted something different but within their personality, or something close to what they do and like.

So here’s B+Tin Extraordinary Session with hardwares, architectural designs & furnitures.

Finally, my first blog entry for 2012. My sincere apology to all who follow this blog for not updating and uploading extraordinary love and weddings. We’ve been blessed with many weddings to shoot since October plus traveling from one place to the other for commitments – thus, I can’t find time to upload.

Without further ado, I would like to share this intimate and very personal wedding of Dean+Jehan. Personal, in the sense that the bride is more than being hands-on. She took care of all the details and I would say she nailed it, plus having the best suppliers for their wedding. When Dean+Jehan met me just a month and a half before their wedding, I was really ecstatic when they mentioned that they’re having Vatel Manila as entourage flowers supplier. I’m a big fan of Vatel Manila, for bringing fresh and lovely ideas. Speaking of freshness, you might notice the new look for my photos – - – yes, sometimes it’s nice to embrace fresh ideas to create variation.

So again, the wedding of Dean+Jehan with a different style.
