Ojay and Karen are both from San Francisco, but they were both in Hong Kong for work when we got the chance to shoot their engagement photos. They have lived here for the past few months and these streets will now remind them of the glory days leading up to their time to walk down the aisle when they go back to San Francisco in the middle of next year.
With every turn of the corner of these streets in every photo, a familiar sight, a warm feeling, and a sense of nostalgia. What a way to remember these sweet times! Ojay and Karen… what a great couple.

Last July, we spent a whole afternoon and evening with Ryan and Leana just strolling around Singapore’s botanical gardens and the streets of Little India. It’s kind of amazing that a city as urban as Singapore would still have places tucked in its corners that are distinctly holding their own against a fast-growing modern and globalized world. We wrapped up the shoot soaking in the best view of the city at night right on top of Marina Bay Sands.
After the shoot, they also treated us to a sumptuous dinner of chili crab, cereal prawns, etc. and the conversation seemed to kick into high gear that we lost track of time. That my friends is one big reason why we love doing e-sessions.
Aside from getting our creative juices flowing to hyper levels, we eventually get to make our couples relax around us so we could shoot them in a more comfortable atmosphere during their wedding. On top of that, free dinners, new friends, more inspiration, free dinners (did we mention that already? hehehe). We can’t complain. We love our job.

We are so excited to post a full feature on Jamie and Cheska’s beautiful wedding yesterday at Shangrila Mactan Cebu. But before that, let’s have a look at their cute engagement session in Cebu.
Jamie’s very shy and Cheska, well she’s not hahaha. They wanted something fun for their e-session so we thought we’d play with stop-motion again. This was quite fun!

We treat e-sessions as bonding time with our couples so that they’d be more comfortable with us on the wedding day. When we arrived in Boracay the day before the wedding, we had the opportunity to take some shots of our couple Paul and Criz at the beach. But then, surprises abound when you’re not in control of the weather. It rained. Hard.
The strong winds and hard rain put a damper on the spirits of the family and the guests that night since the following day’s events will be held at the beach. But their worries didn’t last long. Instead of worrying, we all prayed together. And you know what happens when people pray? Miracles happen.
We thank Paul and Criz for trusting us enough to let us expose them to the elements at the risk of getting sick. Lookie how it all turned out! You guys are pros!
Watch out for our post on Paul and Criz’s wedding coming soon.

When we were shooting Man and Vicky in Bohol, we kept on thinking “oh what will they think of the Philippines?” Surprisingly, they were patient and game with the stuff we asked them to do, despite the occasional gasps and reactions to bugs flying across or crawling up their clothes or the huge arthropods wandering about just beside where they’re standing or sitting.
Man was very very quiet the entire time we were doing the e-session, give or take a few laughs and some one-line comments along the way. Vicky on the other hand was the opposite. At times we didn’t know how to answer her innocent questions like, “So what’s so special about this place?” referring to Bohol’s Man-made Forest {since we had to shoot deep into the forest}. But they were both really nice and appreciative the entire time. She even gave out her pink dress at the end of the shoot to some lucky recipient at the location.
This is the entire set of Man and Vicky’s laid-back and dreamy engagement session in Bohol. Hope you guys enjoy them as much as we loved taking them.

Sometimes, things don’t always go as planned and they yield surprisingly exceptional results. We wanted something kind of left of center for Judge and Brenda’s e-session with us and they were game for anything. But since the original ‘props’ became unavailable the day of the shoot, we had to make do with what we had. It didn’t hurt that our couple for the day were oozing with appeal. Add Wenwen Zaspa to the equation and we had ourselves a lava fountain right in our midst.
Looking at these images would probably give you the feel of looking at pieces of a puzzle a.k.a. you won’t get the whole picture of what the set is about. That is just part of the mystery that’s going to be unraveled little by little leading up to Judge + Brenda’s wedding day in 2013. That’s a little too far into the future, we know. So expect more from these two as the months go by and their date gets nearer.
