After 8 long years of being lovers, this jolly & lively couple finally made it to the altar and pledged publicly their immovable love to each other. Vic & Len were two of my hundreds of students back in their high school days in AUP Academy. Both of them now work in the Middle East as nurses. Not to forget also Che, Len’s CI sister, worked untiringly behind the success of this wonderful wedding from Preparation to Ceremony to Reception! I felt how hard it was to get all things done just to make sure everything and every parts of the program turns out right.

One more thing that would definitely make me remember this wedding is, the Officiating Minister used an Apple iPad during the Ceremony. Hahaha… Cool! Well of course that was only a supplement aside from the bible.

This memorable and heartfelt union were witnessed by Vic & Len’s able and very supportive parents, loved ones and of course… classmates, batch mates and friends! So, here goes just some of the thousands of beautiful images captured together with my friend, Oggie.

This is one of those rarest times when I was supposed to take some rest, celebrate and enjoy my birthday with my family and loved ones, yet I chose to shoot and capture this sweet couple’s best moments in life — their union of hearts. Me thought that next time somebody books me on my Birthday, I will cover their wedding for FREE, granting that it won’t be on a Saturday or Friday night! However, when I checked Dec. 30 this year, looks like it won’t be possible, and even next year. Tsk, tsk, tsk… unintentional, simply wrong timing when I thought of this idea.

Anyways, let’s just enjoy viewing Cesar & Lalaine’s images for now!

To date, this is my farthest wedding coverage ever since I started capturing the bests in life. The first experience was unforgettable. Too many lessons learned — team work, preparation, people skills, and even the business side of this trip. We look forward to the next destination wedding coverage and we would even surpass what we did on this one.

Thanks to my team: Oggie, Jet and Jun, please don’t stop making suggestions! Hahaha… To Toto & Ivy, we appreciate your hospitality and accommodation. It rained and limited us all to capture other moments but, we hope to serve you again in other events! Congratulations and enjoy your wonderful time together , SOON when you will be in the same place at the same time! Here are the chosen few among the thousands of great images.

It’s really a learning experience to cover a wedding with a tinge of local Philippine traditions. I learned that both sides of the family gave and exchanged each other’s 6 peso-coins for the bride and groom to put inside their shoes before wearing them. There’s a promise of abundant blessings for this kind of practice.
Just after the Reception, the groom has to bring home his bride and introduce her to the whole family and clan — thus, I have to ride with them all the way from AUP to Batangas and capture more moments and traditions. The last thing I shot was when the newly weds entered their private room to signify their union and being one!
