Engagement photoshoot: Dandy and Aliana

May you never steal, lie or cheat
But if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows
And if you must lie, lie with me all nights of my life 
And if you must cheat, then please cheat  death, because I couldn't live a day without you.

That wedding vow was taken from one of my favorite romantic movies of all time, "Leap Year." I don't know what's in that movie but I really liked it. 

The pictures were all took in Cebu City, at Montebello Hotel and at the Family Park in Talamban. This photoshoot was so sudden that I was not able to prepare everything. I hope I did a fine job with the couple. 

I really had a fun time because the couple were accommodating to me and they were like kids again madly in love with each other. 

A slideshow videos that I made for them. Songs were requested by the couple. 

Here's another one. 

I, the Parasite

As far as I remember, I wasn't really part of this photoshoot. I was just a joiner, a parasite, an uninvited guest but my photo buddy, Lervin, forced me to come with him. Because the one who organized this was a supervisor at work that we didn't really know and Lervin, was shy to go with people he doesn't know. So the adventurer that I am, I said yes and after work, I hurriedly went home to get my cam so I could join them.

It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon and it was so hot, but I was very excited when I arrived at the location where we will do the shoot. It was hispanic, the house was very old school or just plain old and it was pretty creepy upstairs.  After the getting to know stage with the models, I found out that they have been a couple for many years now and they have conquered long distance relationship so well. She was working here in Visayas and he was working there in Mindanao, that's okay right? since they both speak Bisaya hehehe. I also found out that this was there second visit to the place and they vowed to do there Prenup photoshoot here. So they already knew what poses to do and finding the right angle wasn't hard because they move with grace. It's like they have been doing this for years. I really had a fun time with them and I felt that they are really meant for each other, they make a good team. As for me, I went home very happy and still hyped even though it was a very tiring day. Until now, I'm such a happy camper whenever I remember the day I took there pictures. So here it goes, the picture overload . . .

The Girl who cried Wolf

 

When you want to tell your friends that you think you're pregnant, you can do it on your birthday. In that way, nobody wants to shout at you, beat the crap out of you or even believe you. That's what happened to us, when she told us that she might be pregnant, we didn't believe Tata.

The reason why we didn't believe her is because she's the she-male version of the story, "The Boy who cried wolf"; but in a more modern and harass way. Tata has been my friend since high school, so that's like 12 years of being stuck with her. All we did in high school was laugh over corny jokes,  do pranks to each other and steal lollipops. Crying over boys was not our thing. So, if you have been pranked for 12 years, you'd hesitate to believe very serious matters coming out of her mouth.

It was her birthday when she announced it and we all just laughed, only to find out a week later that it's really true. O_O So I guess, it was a good thing that she played the Boy who cried wolf very well, because of that I was able to understand and cope up with the situation in a not so serious way. After that, my perception to the story changed, I learned that the boy did those not because he was just seeking for attention, he was actually trying to tell the people to prepare because the future might get rough and a little panic drill once in a while won't hurt if you just play along.
