One thing about early morning weddings is that, well preparations are REALLY THAT EARLY, meaning we’re going to start shooting even before the sun rises. The wedding day was a Saturday, yet hours before that, we ( Team Oro ), we’re covering a Regine Velasquez concert at Limketkai Mall. The concert ended around 11:30PM. We were then rushing back to our homes to get our chargers, attires and other equipments needed for the next day wedding shoot. The couple that we were going to shoot was very kind enough to book us a room on the same hotel they we’re going to have their preparations. It was a plan also for us not to oversleep. After preparing our equipments, attires, backing our files and charging our batteries, it was approximately around 3am when we already had a shut-eye. Then alarms rung! It was already 4am and we had to start shooting already.

One hour sleep only baby!

We we’re racing against time. After quick showers and checking of equipments, we were already ready to shoot around 5 am.

After emptying lots of energy drink bottles, we were up running around and shooting. With a very fun and lively couple to shoot and also having a team who is harmonious and fun to work with, stress was not evident. There are some technical glitches, but in the end, the team made it through. We were able to present our works. Well, after the wedding, you know what happened next. A 12 hour sleep was greatly needed.

The day couldn’t be so perfect for a photoshoot. It was sunny and I was in the mood to take pictures. Guess the happy mood was heightened more when I arrived at their house with her parent’s warm welcome. Smiles flocked the room and a constant stream of laughter and giggles echoed around it. We were well prepared for the shoot. I guess it was a one month preparation searching the net for inspirations. When we thought of a make-up artist to pick for the shoot, I automatically referred Dr. Grace (http://www.vanityclinic.com/ ).  I have already worked with Doc Grace previously and I couldn’t be more amazed of her works. Doc Grace was accompanied by her very supportive husband and her mom, who by the way was the one who styled Audrey’s hair. My usual time frame for a photo shoot usually starts at 3PM onwards, but days before the shoot, we had a 3-day rainy weather and an option of postponing the shoot was imminent. So I had to schedule the shoot earlier that day just in case it will rain in the afternoon. But we were lucky and I thanked God when the time came and the weather was clear and warm.

People go to spas and health clubs to feel good. But I guess treating yourself for a photo shoot and really loving yourself is also therapeutic.

and a great shot by Doc Grace. rakenrol!

And as usual, I was surfing through the net for hours until i decided to stop by on Cebu Pacific‘s website after hearing that they were giving out very low fares. I wanted to go out of my work to refresh my mind and just relax for even just a few days. Then I was thinking that I should pay a visit to my brother there in Cebu City. I pretty much like visiting Cebu City. Then I read Sir Nelwin Uy’s status in his facebook account that he was looking for a 2nd photographer for his wedding shoot in Cebu. So I decided to volunteer, and I was also hoping that time that the reception would be in Shangri-la Mactan as I haven’t yet set foot there. Well, true enough, the reception did took place in Shangri-la. Armed with my camera, again I was in the prowl, taking more candid shots than ever. Really love taking those kind of shots. Special thanks to Sir Nelwin Uy and to Mam Tey for the warm welcome. These are my share of photos.
