As previously mentioned (here), not only were we ecstatic to have met Dexter and Beverly but you could almost say that it was sweet serendipity at work. For weeks now we’ve had the wonderful opportunity of traveling to a lot of places around the world the country and we are endlessly grateful to have been graced with a bunch of warm and good-hearted clients. We owe a huge part of it to this wonderful couple for setting off a good amount of out-of-town bookings for us when they became the first ones to take us outside of Cebu and on to Boracay and Iloilo (Dexter’s hometown) earlier this year for their engagement (prenup) session.
Boracay, commercial as it may have become as of late, has still got to be one of the more romantic destinations in the country. There’s something about its white powdery sands, the clear turquoise water, and the perfect view of its orange sunset that makes it irresistibly charming. All of these characteristics made for the perfect setting for the concept we had in mind for this e-session.
Concept + Location + Dexter + Beverly + Rock Paper Scissors = One HAPPY engagement session!
Do watch this director’s cut edition of Dex+Bevs’ photoclip before going through the rest of the pictures. Allow the entire video to load/buffer completely before playing. And oh, plug in those earphones or get your loud speakers ready and have the volume turned UP. We’ve picked an awesome soundtrack for this one that may create magic. 
Enjoy!

We find it a little funny that our second ever destination (out-of-Cebu) wedding is one that would take us out of the country and into the bustling urban jungle of Hong Kong. Of course, we can’t complain.
There was a lot of pressure though for us coming into this shoot because the couple already had an engagement session in Manila with master Lito Sy and we’re doing their wedding and e-session in Hong Kong. Our first out-of-the-country e-session didn’t go as easy as we hoped it would be because a tropical cyclone was on its way even before we started the engagement session and midway through it, Hong Kong was already placed under signal #3! But in true Rock Paper Scissors fashion, rain or shine or typhoon (LOL!), the show must go on.
Without further adieu, Adrian Eastman and Pansy Leung-Eastman’s engagement session in Hong Kong.
P.S. Make sure to watch the photoclip of their e-session at the end of this post. Special thanks goes out to Edward Gonzaga. We can’t thank you enough.
P.P.S. We are so behind blogging! Up next is their Hong Kong wedding and our other destination (Bohol, Tagaytay, Boracay) weddings!

I know how excited you are to see the rustic chic vintage wedding of Brian Minerva and Josephine Sicad-Minerva. But we will have to keep you in suspense a little longer! For the meantime, let’s have a look at their engagement session that we shot just a few hours before the wedding.
Their videographer wanted to do a few layouts to be used on their onsite wedding video. We thought we could also get some good portrait shots of the couple while they’re at it. Indeed, it turned out to be a great set! I just love how natural they are in front of the camera. You can really see and feel the love they have for each other weeehhh! Wedding pictures coming soooonnn!
Shine and Josh are planning to get married in Japan. Since they can’t bring all their relatives and friends, they decided to throw an engagement party here in Cebu and have their e-session done the following day. The plan was just to shoot at the rooftop in the hotel the couple was staying. When we saw Josh inside the hotel room smoking, we can’t help but insist that the shoot be continued in the room. Josh in his American Air Force uniform and Shine in her sexy black outfit looks like one of those made-for-tv movies.
Josh and Shine are such nice people. We had a fun time shooting their engagement party and the e-session except that there was a slight problem with the couple and the hotel. But that’s another story =)
To Josh and Shine: we are crossing our fingers for the Japan wedding! *wink* *wink* Enjoy the slightly edgier-than-usual photos!
Christopher Nolan’s latest film Inception is mind-blowing and kick-ass! Exactly the same as Goodie and Kathy’s pre-wedding session in Cebu. We are quite happy with how this one turned out considering we had to come up with a totally different concept for them at the very last minute and at our busiest month so far!
The original concept that the couple wanted was kinda difficult to achieve location- and props-wise. Although it would have been pretty amazing if we’ve done that. For Goodie and Kathy’s e-session, we wanted to defy gravity. It’s 90 degrees angle for the couple including the furniture and props. It’s crazy, fun, yet challenging! One of us stood in the middle of the street; brownout to the max; just praying for dear life that no vehicle would hit him just to get some good shots! We finished the shoot at 8pm.

We’ve known Krystel for quite some time now. When we found out that she was getting married, we were thrilled! For her and Mark’s engagement shoot we first went to FullyBooked as both of them are book lovers.
We had a wonderful Japanese lunch at Ginza and continued our shoot there and at the adjacent Kumon center.
It was an all-indoor shoot…which is unusual for us since we usually take our clients outdoor to the open fields. Haha! But RPS embraces every challenge with open arms, hence we took on this one. =)
P.S. Krystel is a dead ringer for Bea Alonzo, no?
This has got to be the most effortless prenup session in Cebu we have done to date! hehehe. The couple brought everything that we planned for the shoot (from the outfits, accessories, props, and even down to the exact shoe color that we wanted! Just great! hehehe).
There were even other things (read: buffet lunch and overflowing snacks! waaahhh!) that we don’t necessarily require but we were provided with, so we definitely didn’t mind having those! More info on the shoot when we do the full post. Enjoy the preview guys!
