Weddings

“Now very often events are set up for photographers... The weddings are orchestrated about the photographers taking the picture, because if it hasn't been photographed it doesn't really exist.”
- Elliott Erwitt

LOL. Don't you agree? Pre-nuptials, the wedding day and everything about them (small details such as shoes, rings, car, flowers, etc.) seem to have to be photograph-able.

Anyway, here are shots of weddings I've attended and shot.

Photos associated with this set are listed below, ordered latest first. Click on the title to view the photo's page or click on the thumbnail to view a large preview of the image. Photo posts with more than one thumbnail have more images attached. See the post to see more.

Kasal ni Sarah ug Richmond
Sarah and Richmond's Wedding. February 27, 2010.Alliance of Two Hearts Church, Banawa, Cebu. First wedding assignment I ever lead. Came up with great shots. I think. It's difficult to come up with good shots when you've never met the couple, the entourage isn't so keen with having me around taking pics and no photo shoot session was ever planned into the schedule. Talk about diving in head first. ^_^

Not happy with her hair.
Pag-atiman sa Kaluha
Taking care of the twin. Angela is Amanda's twin. Their aunts showed me an album of kiddie pics one time when I went to Manila and I could not tell who's who. It seemed like a Photoshop cheat. In this shot, Angela redid (is there such a word?) Amanda's hair because it did not look good. She let it down and everything went fine. Amanda's facial expression here is pure and says one word: pissed.

I give you this ring to wear with love and joy. As a ring has no end, neither shall my love for you.
Timailhan sa Akong Gugma
Symbol of my love. I was looking for a nice verse to go with the picture's zoom caption and I found many. Here are some lines from About.com on how to say "take this ring as a symbol of my love":
