Photo shooting outdoors these days has been very difficult lately as we just got hit by monsoon “Juan”. My shoot with Marianne was no exception.  Her mother, who is still in the States, wanted very good pictures for her daughter’s debut. Frequent emails from her about her ideas on the planned pre-debut shoot then followed. Our idea of having a warm afternoon shoot did not go as planned because when the pre-debut shoot came, “Juan” was also tagging along with us. But we didn’t stopped from getting nice portraits of Marianne. Jeri Udasco’s nice make-up job on Marianne can’t be left unphotographed.  So, with great faith, we still trudged amidst heavy rains to Opol beach as we can’t think of any other place that we can have a small chance of having a better weather than along the city proper which was already getting beaten up by the heavy rains. Eventually, the weather turned positive toward us as the rain became very light and we can finally have some fun shots along the shoreline. We had fun working with Marianne as she was friendly and was also having fun being with us. This is part one of two of getting to know Marianne…:)

Wedding has only one story.

Same script, same flow of events, same key players, you know what I mean. But this doesn’t mean that we have to follow what is traditional. Just like movies that get a lot of remakes, weddings should be too. It has always been my principle that every wedding has its own DNA. Each has its own take on the wedding ritual and each wedding that I cover; I also too have a different view on your wedding. With that kind of state of mind, I also thought of adapting to a newer version of albums. And so, in the coming 2010, I’ll be presenting my new Photobook album and new Coffeetable album. I just don’t want to be the same with other photographers. But still, the photos, the candid shots, the lay-out will always be the same, the funky style! YEAH!

With the new upgrades, it is inevitable that I have to bump my rates a little higher from the old rates. I know that with the crisis going on, we have to consider every small detail that we pay. But we also have to consider the importance of your special day. Photos are for eternity. It is something that you’ll have to cherish until you’re on your 80’s and still keeps on laughing on your wedding album, reminiscing that special day the two of you got hitched. The photo shoot sessions you have with me, the stuff that I have to dare for the both of you to do and all the crazy stuffs. Photos are for eternity I say again. That’s why I always have to look for better and nicer suppliers for my albums and photos. We have to adapt to be better.

2010 will be one hell of a rocking new year! With newer uploads and fresher ideas! To my clients who have already booked, get ready! We’re gonna rock you out!

One major factor for a shoot to be successful is to have a very participative client and also a very supportive cast. That was what happened when we had the photo shoot for Grace’s predebut. Grace was up to the challenge. Even though the place we had our photo shoot was hot as the air conditioning was not turned on, she was still cooperative with every request I made her do. And with her very supportive friends/relatives, the shoot went well. The outdoor shoot was also a difficult one as rain was already pouring in and I had to get great shots as fast as possible before we get totally drenched. Again I would like to thank my big brother again, Ben Aserios for helping me out. — He is already a videographer and is now hard to ask for favors because of his tight schedule…damn! Hahahaha.
