Posts Tagged ‘beach wedding photography’

a design i made for the couple’s invitation for a wedding i’ll be covering this April in Davao City…The bride is my classmate when we were still in grade school and was still in Ateneo de Davao. And years after, by the power of FACEBOOK, I was again connected to my childhood friends. It just shows how time flies so fast. I could still remember that I was into playing X-men cards and marbles and now, I am going to cover my batchmate’s wedding. Well, stay tuned for this set as my team goes to Davao City this April.

Days before the shoot, I told the couple to bring anything that represents them. Something they are comfortable with and something that they usually do. And after more questions of their lives (sounds like an investigator, hehehhe), I learned that they love going outdoors.  So I suggested having some shots along the beach and some place upland. So during the day of the photo shoot, I just told the driver to just drive along the route going to Butuan City and we are just going to look some place that’s nice. We stopped in a beach resort along the high way to have lunch and while waiting for the food, I surveyed the place and thought that the place was already nice to have the photo shoot.

…Then came the editing part. I wanted to do something very emotional, something very classic feeling. That feeling you see when you happened to find a picture that hasn’t been unearthed for many years and leaves you smiling. I wanted to make the viewer feel the warmth it exudes. The memories that it tries to tell.

and I would also credit my big brother BEN ASERIOS who assisted me during the shoot.

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.
