Its December and for wedding photographers it signifies the start of peak-wedding season. Our studio’s sched is crazy to say the least with lots of consecutive-days shooting. What a great way to start my December with an out-of-town shoot in Iloilo. I just arrived in our hotel, Iloilo Midtown Hotel, and we’ve been so blessed to be pampered by our couple. From constant email updates before our trip, being picked-up at the airport, scrumptous chinese food at the hotel for lunch and providing us with WIFI connection. We are really flattered how Meileen, our bride, went out of her way to really make our stay as comfortable as possible.
We were greeted by the bride herself – the hotel is owned by the bride by the way.We’re really excited to shoot their wedding tomorrow but before that I’d just like to share Sam and Meileen’s engagement shoot we did last July in Boracay. I wanted to share this sooner but Meileen asked me to hold this blog post so she can surprise her friends in Iloilo. We shot the two the day before our mentor’s wedding, John Mateos Ong, last July 2. Meileen’s make-up was done by fab make-up artist, Madge Lejano.
We went to Alta Vista Resort for our first set. I love the place as it offers a stylish location to shoot Sam and Meileen. We started by the pool area.
Then we moved to the function areas beside the pool.
Off to the beach, that why we’re in Boracay ey!
sunset shots to cap a lovely day of shooting a super nice couple!
Tomorrow’s gona be a blast as I’m shooting with Gracielle and Tiqui. Now time for a much needed power nap…
