Venue : Boracay Island, Kalibo Aklan

I haven't had the chance to really dig into the images from Ian and Lenny's E-session this past Wednesday. As I went through the initial edit, these images really stood out for me. What do you think? Sorry for the teaser. We had so much fun and i was able to do some beautiful shots in spite of the killer typhoon "Frank" that ruined the beauty of Boracay. Ian and Lenny are scheduled to get married in New Jersey, USA on August 8, 2008.
I'll definitely have more soon so stay tuned...

Reception : Patio Victoria
Photographers : Lito Q. Genilo and Nonie Gatchalian

I met RJ and Wilma for the first time during their E-Session at Eco Park. They were so nice and very humble and I knew we were going to get along great together. Both RJ and Wilma gave us the opportunity to execute what we wanted on their special day and more than that though, they were not afraid to play and have fun.
I absolutely loved the ceremony especially the homily of the priest, a very inspirational message not only to the newly weds but to all married couples all out there... please view the slide show and listen to the homily.
Here are some of my favorite moments of the day.
Thanks for letting us be part of your wedding day.

Ryan and Michelle are my kind of client who gave me so much time to do the non traditional portrait on their wedding day, that we were able to get really creative. If you are planning your wedding and would want plenty of creative shots, allow your photographers to have enough time to create stunning images for you. That is the important element to remember.

Is'nt she lovely?
