I've probably shot a photosession in the most interesting places in the beautiful province of Bohol... twice in the man-made forest in Bilar, along Panglao beach, the Loboc museum, among the old houses in Baklayon - of course with the exception of the Chocolate Hills which I'm likely not even allowed to step onto. hahaha. While those seem a lot, there is this one elusive place that I've always been fascinated with but never had the chance to explore, the unusually vast mangrove field (if you even call that a field) along the highway. For the last few times I attempted, it was either raining, or I was out of time, or that area is knee-deep with sea water.

Well not this time. =) Mike and Leslie are my lucky charms. In the instant we went and stepped into the area, all we saw are amazing structures of plants and trees all surrounded by powder-white sand that even looked like snow =) It's an unbelievable site. If ever it gets more unbelievable than that it is because I'm actually doing an aftershoot of a gorgeous threesome Mike, Leslie, and nothing less but a Veluz wedding gown - how more stoked can one be? =)

Enjoy this super lovely aftershoot session with Mike and Leslie who made it so fun for me (see behind-the-scenes photos at the bottom) by being very spontaneous and being very easy to work with. =) The dinner that followed after this shoot was as fun. hahaha =)

This is part two of our feature on Johnwin and Rachelle's wedding in Bohol. Remember that pleasurgasmic experience we had? Well, this is one of the reasons it was like that. Since we had to fly back first thing the next day after the wedding, and their super awesome e-session already finished, we decided to have a prepostnup instead. Yes, an aftershoot/trash the dress done before the wedding day. =) If of course meant that I had to be careful with Rachelle's lovely gown because she still has to wear it AND there was no cleaning services for such in Amorita. We went a couple of days early to have this shoot exactly on Rachelle's birthday so we had to make it extra special and nice for her. hahaha. We shot in Baclayon, Loboc, and Bilar - all under the glory of the Bohol monsoon. hahaha =) It was truly a great experience and we owe all of it to this supertrooper couple. Enjoy the photos. =) bigfoot? he's real. hahaha

Destination weddings are always fun and exhausting. But what if instead of exhausting, it turned out to be relaxing? Is this what everyone refer to as workcation? maybe, but I'd like to call it pleasurgasmic - the perfect combination of a fantastic destination wedding coverage complete with the awesome couple, great details, relaxed atmosphere, involved guests, and kickass suppliers all in one roof, or should I say cliff! hahaha Set in Amorita Resort in Panglao Island in the Province of Bohol, Johnwin and Rachelle's wedding was a sure-fire hit waiting to happen. This despite the weather being very unpredictable although it showed a pattern of pouring hard every afternoon. We did arrive days before the wedding which gave us enough time to prepare, relax, and shoot a pre-postnup. This was also the first time we worked with Mayad Studios and Mich Lim. =) So, want to know how Pleasurgasmic feels? Start scrolling down ;)
