We *Heart* Weddings

WE heart weddings. We wouldn’t have quit our day jobs to be doing what we’re currently doing if we didn’t love it. Jeff and I would like to extend our most heartfelt gratitude to Wedding Essentials magazine for recognizing our hard work and passion in wedding photography as it grew to unexpected levels over the past year or so.

If you grab a copy of Wedding Essentials: Beautiful Weddings 2010-2011, you’ll get to read the story of one our most memorable couples from last year. Siu and Natalie flew to Cebu all the way from the U.K. and Australia, respectively, just to say their I do’s in front of an intimately-gathered crowd of their close friends and families amidst the lush backdrop of sun, sand, sea and sky . Read up as Natalie shares how it all lead up from a witty exchange at a comedy show to that pivotal moment of vowing lifelong commitment to each other at Shangri-la Mactan.

Also out now is Wedding Essentials the Jan.-June 2011 issue where we are featured as a discovery. Big thank you to Marbee Shing Go, Kitten Zapata, Maureen Belmonte, Carlo Francia, Crae Achacoso, and the rest of the WE gang for the two-page spread.  Y’all are so nice to us and we are honored and humbled by your awesome team. Quick shoutout to RPS member Lorel who also appears on the photo for the spread. We might not have been able to convince you otherwise but we wish you good luck in Singapore with whatever future endeavors you choose to pursue. Reach for your dreams. God Bless!

Thank you Wedding Essentials!!!

Some things to look forward to… 2011 is shaping up to be one hell of a breathtaking thrill ride for the Rock Paper Scissors team. We’re going island hopping… Manila, Camiguin, Davao, Cagayan, Bohol, Tagaytay, Boracay, etc.  Watch out for our upcoming post on how we conquered Ilocos! Also, Hong Kong and Singapore are on the list yet again. Plus, later this year, we are crossing the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. As to what that’s about, we can’t really reveal much right now.  We are forever grateful for God’s blessings.

Ian + Nina | Chateau de Busay Cebu Civil Wedding

The nice thing about civil weddings is that: it’s simple, no fuss, very straightforward.  Ian and Nina’s civil wedding was held at the beautiful garden of Chateau de Busay overlooking metropolitan Cebu.

Ian and Nina were all smiles (big smiles) all throughout the day. We guess they’re just very excited that they’ll be finally tying-the-knot after a 2-year long distance relationship.  We’re also glad that the heavens answered their prayers to not rain on their big day.  The union was very quick and was capped by releasing dozens of white and blue balloons during sunset.

Vagabond Lovers (For a Day) | Ryan + Cha-Cha

Cebu Engagement Photographer | Rock Paper Scissors Photography

Client: Ryan Sojor and Charisse Faith Pepito - Sojor
Cebu wedding date: January 23, 2010
Cebu wedding photographers: Rock Paper Scissors Photography

Some scenes here were shot on location at the university I went to back in college, UP Cebu. It was nice going around the old campus again, reminiscing, while Ryan and Cha-cha were reliving their own first meeting not too long ago at the same university. It's amazing how sometimes the most magical place on earth can be just your humble little UP Cebu Cafeteria. After that, we went to Daan Bantayan for some shots as well then we went all out and shot the rest of the photos in Arizona, USA. *Ahem* haha.
