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! =)

For someone who graduated from UP and seen a lot of UP engagement sessions, it's really great to see fresh take on shooting an e-session in UP. Ganda sir!

I have tons of things I wanted to say about this e-session we had in Taiwan. I could start with how this entire trip was such a gastronomic ecstasy and how I am craving everyday for a chipai! hahaha or I could say how unbelievably diverse and beautiful Taiwan is which seemed to have inexhaustible spots to shoot. It also take me probably several paragraphs to describe how awesome Duke and Irene were in all of the session we did, not to mention those astonishing gowns that Irene wore.  

But let me cut everything short and just say that this is one of my most favorite e-session sets of all time. hahaha. So go on, enjoy the photos =)

Anyone who's a basketball fan probably knows who Mark Cardona is. He's the current scoring machine of Talk and Text in the PBA and was DLSU's star player in the mid 2000's. What most of us probably don't know is that Mark is a better-half to the beautiful Cariz Francisco-Cardona. 

The lovely couple tied the knot last Friday in Makati in full wedding celebrations witnessed by their family and closest friends. Im sure that everyone are keen to see the photos from that wedding but let's heightened the anticipation by posting the photos from their e-session first =) hahaha. 

Enjoy these engagement session photos and come back tomorrow for Mac and Cariz' wedding photos =)

Remember the day I posted a status in facebook when I said I shot the e-session of Kristine Hermosa and Christian Tanglao? Well that can't be true right? After all, Kristine is with Oyo Boy Sotto. hahaha. 

Step aside Kristine because your just an Erin look-alike =) Who together with Christian, totally rocked this e-session.

Christian and Erin is one of my couples that are dearest to me the most. I feel most comfortable when I'm with them and it show in this shoot despite the fact that we had to shoot under the midday glory of the summer - the photos turned out fab, metrofab! 

Thanks to Patrick Galang and Bobbie for the styling and make-up, it sure provided the shoot an awesome boost =) 

Enjoy the photos =)

It's one thing to have an awesome set of photos from an e-session in such a great city like Chicago. It's another to do it on back-to-back shoot in consecutive days. It's like repeating as NBA champions. hahaha. Well one will surely feel like back-to-back champions especially when he is gifted with fabulous couples to shoot. 

If you liked Mike and Donna's e-session in Chicago then you'd enjoy this next one of Shawn and Pam's. It has the same Metrophoto and Chicago feel but different in so many ways =) Shawn and Pam planned to shoot with the Buckingham Fountain but we got disappointed when we found out that it was closed for maintenance (yeah, after walking three blocks in super-cold weather). Then I thought it would be more awesome to just shoot ON and INSIDE the fountain itself since it's not working anyway. Thus with a little trespassing, we were able to do what no one else has done before - a photoshoot inside the famous Buckingham fountain. Oh I didn't need a ladder for this shoot as Shawn is a stuntman and made climbing the structure seem super easy. =) 

After such a great start, we headed-off to the old Chicago Theater, then a few shots in the elevated train tracks and finished in Chinatown. =) 

So as the Lakers try to win their back-to-back titles as I type, go ahead and enjoy Metrophoto's own back-to-back winners ;)
