Engagement Session | Buboy and Mabelle

Buboy and Mabelle's engagement shoot was extraordinary. It was our first time to shoot in the Ateneo de Manila Campus. Buboy is a lawyer and an alumnus of the said university, while Mabelle is a professional nurse. They gave us three ideas for their photo shoot. First, they wanted to do a fashion shoot. Second, they wanted to show how their respective professions play in their love story. And lastly, they asked to re-enact one of the most memorable moments in their life-- a night when their car broke down. It was a challenge for us, but we would not have pulled it off had our couple not been as eager and as excited to execute the concepts as we were. What made it more fantastic was that our groom-to-be was able to fulfill his dream-- a "GQ-ish" cover photo! 

Enjoy!

Contemporary Family Portraits | Alvic, Rhanee and Adam

Children are the most interesting subjects in photography, especially if you have a kid like Adam who is the very opposite of camera shy. All you have to do is put your camera in burst mode and pray that you won’t run out of memory cards. Everything he does is just so adorable. Even a simple yawn was so cute. During our family portrait session, Adam’s parents Alvic and Rhanee also weren’t very shy.  They are the most “game” parents in the universe. At one point during the shoot they confessed that it felt like their engagement session but this time with a twist. We did the shoot at Philippine Air Force Museum. It provided a terrific backdrop for such a picture perfect family.

Contemporary Debut Portraits | Danielle Cortez

We haven’t done a commercial spread before. But during Danielle’s portrait shoot, it felt as if it was a shoot worthy of a Guadalupe billboard. A lot of heads turned, and people were even asking who our lovely model was. It was because Danielle was simply stunning. Prior to the shoot, she warned us that she was a bit shy. We had difficulty believing because this lovely gal has a lot of poses up her sleeve. All we did was tell her to pose and she owned the shoot. She turned Bonifacio High Street into her very own personal studio. What made the shoot so awesome is that our self declared “shy” model was having tons of fun. And it was so contagious. Made us forget that we were working.

Corporate Videos | OSCI Paceclahan

This is another video post. I recently made an AVP for Office for Social Concern and involvement in Ateneo de Manila. This was during our PACECLAHAN. It was humble day of service to our apostolate area in San Mateo Rizal. We helped in the rehabilitation of their tutorial center.

Graduation Portraits | Happy Kids Integrated School

It is an extraordinary experience shooting children's portraits. Something magical happens when you put them on a stool and place them in front of a camera... they behave... or at least they sit still. We had an amazing experience shooting the portraits of the graduating batch of Happy Kids Integrated School. And who doesn't love having their wacky pictures? These kids can't wait to have theirs taken. So much so that they make their wacky poses immediately after sitting in front of the camera. They're all so adorable.

Corporate Videos | Ateneo de Manila : Office for Social Concern and Involvement

Here is something that is different from our other posts. Would just like to share an AVP that I made for the Office for Social Concern and Involvement of the Ateneo de Manila University. An office whose work focuses mainly on Student Social Formation. This was used as a teaser for their 35th year anniversary.
