If there's one thing I remember about this trash the dress session we had with Tristan and Angelica, it was bubble milk tea. oh plus the rain. So it's actually the pure enjoyment of drinking bubble milk tea while it is raining. I loved it a lot although it did ruin our shoot a bit because of the delay we had to endure going from the city to where The Venetian is located. 

This shoot was done 4 months after their gorgeous wedding in Manila (that same wedding that was featured in my metrophoto video) and they had to fly in their gown and suit to Macau for the shoot. Thus Angelica wore the same beautiful Veluz gown that had those super cute pompom-like attachments which still fit her (to her surprise hehehe). 

Thanks to Peaches and Rommel for accompanying me in this shoot and to Angelica and Tristan for the awesome session and of course in introducing me to authentic bubble milk tea which has been my favorite ever since =)

I have been looking forward a lot for Miko and Pat's wedding in Macau. Aside from of course it being an awesome destination wedding, it will also be the last of four consecutive weddings that we're covering in the span of time (tagaytay-nasugbu-tagaytay-macau). It will be a good test of our will and how extensive our creativity can stretch. 

But that seemed too easy I guess because fate made me miss my flight to Macau that evening and had to wait 4 hours to take a red eye flight to Hongkong and take the ferry to Macau (good thing they are 24 hours) to be sure I get there as early as I can - and not on the morning wedding day itself. I barely made it. At around 4:15am of the day of the wedding I finally got to our hotel where Rommel and Peaches have been anxiously waiting for me. 

That's just about all the not-so-good things that happened because from then on, it was one of the best wedding experiences we've had ever. Miko and Pats, their family and friends, and the other people who we worked the wedding with we're all fun, pleasant, and awesome. It's one of those things you wish will never end =) 

The preparation and the dinner reception were at the Pousada de Sau Tiago. A super nice boutique hotel where the details are overwhelmingly gorgeous. I got to take home a lot of cool ideas for the Metrophoto brand from this trip =) 

Join us in this unbelievably wonderful through the photos below. Enjoy =)

On our way for Miko's portraits =) Peaches was with us for the shoot. She took good care of some of the details photos and of course assisted our beautiful bride, Pats. Peaches also took these behind-the-scenes shots of me and Rommel at the roof of the hotel =) We worked the wedding with Lourd Ramos, shot here with Pat's sister-in-law Tet =)

Ivan and Jenie were my officemates a few years back. Got really excited when after several attempts, they decided that Metrophoto was worth the investment and they got me to cover their wedding and more thrillingly, our schedules matched and we set to have their aftershoot in Macau - at the tailend of their honeymoon. =)

Fresh from the e-sessions from Hongkong, we woke up very early the next day to catch the wonderfully cold January morning sunrise of Macau. It was pretty chilly but what the heck, if Jenie can withstand the temperature donning her wedding gown, why couldn't us? =P

We went around Macau's famed square where St. Paul's Cathedral is situated and got lucky when a very nice English lady told us about a nice alley to shoot where everything is painted red! I was stoked when I saw the place =) We finished off at the grand Venetian Hotel in Macau. =) You can see here that my hair is all messed-up (well, more than the usual =P) - I just didnt have the will power to shower that morning! hahaha. (I did brush though =P) Love this alley! You can imagine how hard the wind was blowing right?
