I always dread the part were I pick photos for a blog, you know?
Who, in their right mind, can pick 30-40 photos from 2,000 photos on a wedding day?
But here I am, at Starbucks in Ayala Center, doing what I just told you
The music playing on the headphones helps a little bit sometimes
But most of the time it’s sheer will.
It is work after all.
Stephen and myself took exactly 2,572 photos during Frana and Liezl’s wedding
Luckily I managed to pick 40 photos for this post
Thank You Frana and Liezl. And Riella of course for leading them to me.
Liezl and Frana weren’t fans of being in front of the camera so we practiced during their pre-wedding session.
They chose to dress-up at the Waterfront Hotel since it was very near St. Therese Chuch in Lahug.
It’s been a while since we last took photos at the Waterfront.
She’s Toni, a good friend of Liezl’s. She helped us quite a bit during the pre-wedding session.
Liezl’s room was a bit dark so we dragged her out of it an to the stairs for a few pictures.
We also took a few more in Frana’s room since it was brigther.
New locations are a bit of a challenge depending on how you want to look at it, you know?
And then I realized we can open the windows after the make-up session so we did.
So many hands.
Why so serious Franadel?
Ladies and Gentlemen, our delagates for the ASEAN Summit 2018.
It was quite refreshing shooting at the Waterfront.
While waiting for the rest, the guys had a good discussion on a few things I totally forgot about.
The ladies turn.
Liezl was flanked by both her sisters.
And a few good friends some dating back to high school.
She wasn’t as shy as when we shot pre wedding pictures a few weeks earlier.
I mostly just observe you and figure out the subtleties before snapping a photo.
Just before the ceremony started.
Frana’s niece.
And her mother on the right figuring out the right frame.
It’s a puzzle to me what these ladies feel behind that door, you know?
Hey, Toni!
Amost there.
Mean kid!
Really glad these two trusted me.
And just like that, the bond is sealed. For all of time.
We then went up to Chateau de Busay for the reception.
It’s been a while since we were back here too!
It’s like the mountains are listening to your hearts desires, you two!
We captured a few good ones that fateful afternoon!
And then the gang showed up.
Reception’s about to start!
When we arrived at the reception, we caught Sandy doing some finishing touches on the cake.
That afternoon light hit this room perfectly.
Can’t wait for the party to start.
Frana giving it his all.
The happiest day!
And that’s a wrap! Thank You again Franadel and Liezl.
