Shooting weddings internationally? I call that awesome. Shooting weddings of celebrities? I call that spectacular. Now what about shooting the wedding of Jimmy Alapag and LJ Moreno in Laguna Beach in California? Awesome-tacular? You bet! =) 

PBA all-star point guard Jimmy Alapag and actress LJ Moreno tied the knot at Surf and Sand Hotel in Laguna Beach south of Los Angeles. Families and friends (consist of cagers and celebrities) took part in the intimate but breathtaking ceremony that happened on top of the balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean. 

A lot of beautiful people graced the event which already had such gorgeous couple and location and it's just appropriate for me to churn out equally beautiful photographs. =) Enjoy LJ Moreno's Wedding.

Don't miss Jason Magbanua's heart-melting SDE of the wedding here.

LJ had stylish purple shoes with "I" and "do" emblems glued at the soles. =) Nothing beats the best weather in the best hotel and beach in the area.

LJ's six-year old brother wrote the note below. It's funny he seemed to know such things already. hahaha.

TFC correspondents were there to cover the wedding for The Buzz as requested by Boy Abunda. I saw myself in some of the clips in the show. Now I'm wishing I've nosed around more. hahaha.

Peachie is my new found friend. I know she's Ruffa Mae for most people but like what I've said, we're friends. So I call her Peachie. hahaha =)

My groom was strikingly handsome, he brought his A-game for the wedding of course - it's like a Game 7 Finals day for him. =)

What do you do when literally you have taken photos of men almost double your height? =)

Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! =)

If we weren't pressed for time, I wouldn't have stopped shooting LJ. She's beautiful in every angle.

LJ prepared for her vows. She told me Jimmy was really good with words and she wanted to make sure her vows will be as nice. Since at the photo below, Jimmy cried, I guess LJ nailed it! =)

Weeee!

Today, our adorable little Lana Oasis turns three. She fills our everyday with sweet kisses (and hugs like on the photo above), witty and cute questions, some sunshine and a lot of whining - irresistible ones. hahaha =) She also calls everyone Bolok when she tries to be funny or when she's trying to annoy someone - especially her Kuya Lance. hahaha! 

Happy Birthday Lana bolok! =) We love you so much =)

  hahaha! I like this one below. it's one of my fave bride poses that Lana surprisingly knows how to do. That's what she gets by sitting on daddy's lap while daddy is working =) 

Then she starts to get annoyed. hahaha. It's a classic face with a classic phrase "You're bad!, I don't like you!" hahaha. 

With her Kuya Lance =)

To those who were able to run through my previous post about Paulo and Jhona's e-session must now know what to expect from this new post. As awesome as that e-session of them was, it was sort-of nothing compared to how grand and fabulous their wedding was. =) 

Let's start off with an exclusive ALL-ACCESS prep shoot at the Trader's Hotel in Manila. It was honestly the first time we shot in the hotel but it didn't disappoint at all. The rooms were of modern glam feel and we had access to any part of the hotel that we wanted to shoot at. You should really check out the cool portraits of Paulo that we shot at the top of the hotel and inside its facilities. 

And then how about a portrait shoot inside a huge carousel? I thought I had to go as far as Sta. Rosa Laguna just to get something this whimsically awesome. =) 

The event was capped with a full production set-up inside One Esplanade. With Paulo and Jhona being in the concert and production field, I felt that we were covering GMA's (or ABS-CBN's) 50th year celebration with all the lights and swooping equipment. =) 

So go ahead, enjoy the photos. I didn't purposely mention the fab Louboutins of Jhona, I thought we have too much awesomeness from one wedding already. =) hahaha.

In one of my tweets last month, I mentioned about an e-session in UP unlike any other. Well, here it is =) Shot inside Guerero Theater in Palma Hall, Paolo and Jhona were able to set-up something you would not imagine outside the campus - even outside the country. hahaha =)

Paolo and Jhona are college sweethearts from the UP theater college and there was nothing more fitting than having their awesome and high-tech e-session there. With both of them now into the business of producing and directing concerts, we thought we'd spice-up their old college theater and voila! =)

If you liked their set-up here, wait till you see what they did with their reception set-up. That's up next in the bloggity blog so stay tuned! =)
