Eris, we met na pala some 10 years ago during our school org outing in Bataan. Eris was Dom’s sister, our school paper editor-in-chief that time. Anyway, I got this kwento from Eris’ mom whom I got to know a lot during our initial meeting. Eris found me thru W@W. =)

I asked for the same shot we posed during prenups, was just amazed how the ultrawide lens captured the ever famous Fernwood feel.

It was my first time to meet Ian and Robee during their prenups, just like the others, they were overseas bride and groom. Hallo allerseits! Guten Morgen! Hehehe! Yes, they went home to complete the preparations of their upcoming wedding. They were very nice and accommodating. And the best thing, they were all smiles! We certainly enjoyed hanging out, here are some of the shots:
Btw, salamat sa chocolates at sa tuna! Ian was from Gensan a.k.a. Pacland hehehe. =)

N smiles!

The skies are blue!

Yes po, we are here for our much needed break and vacation. We’ll be back in Manila by Friday, March 14. For inquiries, you may email us or reach us by our mobile phone. We need to recharge. We felt really DOWN going to Bohol but we are going back to Manila 10,000 stronger. FYI, we will be celebrating Redefine Weddings’ 2nd year anniversary on May 2008. Jo Anne and I would like to thank everyone for their love and support, asteeeeeeeeg kayo. It has been a great journey so far, maraming salamat po. Expect a bigger and better wedding photography studio in the months to come.

Asteeeeeeeeeeg ang Bohol, nakaka-recharge din ng creative juices ko!
A hint, what to expect? (1) A new branding and website (lapit na excited na rin kami), (2) a new office and showroom, and (3) we are proud to say that we are getting bigger. We are adding people for our upcoming office and showroom. It’s nice to think that we are getting to the next level, before kasi kami lang ni Jo Anne, now our wedding photography studio is going full blast. It really is promising and we are looking forward. =)

Many have heard the news already, here is the official news announcement. My 2nd photographer Richard Buan has expressed his intentions of going solo. We have received alot of inquiries if Richard will still shoot at their wedding. Our reply is yes, for 2008, (and some weddings on 2009), Richard has committed on the weddings we have booked him, these are the weddings with Richard Buan as indicated in the Terms/Agreement. If there would be any concerns regarding him being my 2nd photographer, please do let me know via email.
Jo Anne and I fully support Richard in his endeavors. FYI, Richard is now my kumpare as I one of Reign’s ninong. We will truly miss his services but then again, moving forward, we all know that this is the path to go. He has been my sidekick right from the start and we are very happy and proud of him.
As for the next team member? Our closest couples have asked already, honestly, Jo Anne and I are aspiring to be the next husband-wife combo just like our friends Paul Vincent & Ivy or even our asteeeeeeeg idols Mimi and Karl (who has yet to be married hehe). It’s a long shot but I’ve been sharing with Jo Anne my passion for photography for over a year now. Adding a woman photographer really helps as there are certain aspects in a wedding that needs a feminine touch. For the past year you should have seen her shoot as my 3rd photographer, creating shots with the angles that I cannot physically cover. I must say she is doing great and certainly a good work in progress. As of today, we are adding manpower in the team but it will all be freelance photographers. Speaking of freelance photographers, a big thanks to Ems Chua & Mike Agsaoay for being with us last March 7. Salamat sa company, asteeeeeeeg kayo!

Finally, Jessie and Tina’s wedding. I was their backup photographer for the day, sakto lang after our Inasakan trip I went straight to Manila Pavilion. For me, it was a fun and emotional day, like any other couple, I got very close to Tina and Jessie. I did their paintball prenups and have been texting each other since. Anyway, the photos for me are limited since I’m shooting as an added 3rd photographer but I did get my shots with the conditions given. Here are some of the photos:

Jessie and Cristina =)

Tina was blooming!

Jessie with his double, este twin brother. =)

Since I’m the 3rd guy, I got to shoot the backshot hehe.

And the first kiss, I honestly was stunned how Jessie approached Tina for the first kiss. It was one of the best first kiss I’ve seen as Jessie quickly sneaked in the veil and caught Tina by surprise and striked really out of nowhere. Asteeeeeeeeeeeeg talaga! You should see the video!

I noticed Malate Church has a good ceiling view with the bride & groom at the recessional.

My requested jump shot at Roxas Blvd.

The kiss.
