This was Day 2 of my Oasis streak and amazingly, God was still providing great spots for us to do our shoot for Noli & Juvi’s engagement session. Noli is actually based in Africa working for an IT company while Juvi is just staying here in the Philippines. Noli came home only for their wedding and will be staying here only for two weeks…
So how did their love story began? Noli and Juvi were neighbors when they were young and then Juvi moved out of their home for quite some time… But when she came back, Noli grabbed the opportunity and pursued a relationship with Juvi. And the rest is history….
Btw, Noli and Juvi were wed last April 20…. Congratulations to you guys… It was fun shooting you and getting to know about your love story. Hope you’ll always have God rule your marriage. Hope to see you again… God Bless!

I only knew Ryan and Jayme from Jayjay’s prenup shoot but when I got to finally meet them face to face, I thought Ryan looked really familiar. “Aren’t you from Lasalle?” was both our opening remarks to each other and we both found out that we were batchmates from the College of Engineering. What a small world. Got to meet some of my batchmates also including the newly wed Erlaine and Mark.
Ryan and his Mobsters…
Here’s Jayme, our bride… This lady just loves being photographed…I swear… hehe
The parade of food during the reception…
Here are Jayme’s friends.. these ladies pulled me out to have them taken pictures…
Well, Ryan and Jayme, congratulations and it was really fun shooting you guys especially Jayme, the insta-pose bride.. =) Hope you two are doing really well with your marriage… God Bless!

What is an Engagement Session? aka Prenup Session? For me, it’s a time for engaged couples to have a time with their photographer and try to get to know as much info from one another, their love story, their backgrounds, good angles and ticklish spots. There are lots of advantages when couples choose to have their engagement sessions with their wedding photographer, here are some:
1. You’re more comfortable in front of the camera come wedding day.
2. You’ll know your best angles.
3. Your facial muscles are all worked out so you can smile the whole time during your wedding.
4. You’ve got a lot of memorabilias for you and your fiance.
That’s what happened during our session with Brian and Sol. Both just came home from Qatar and they’re only staying here for a month for their wedding.
When I met them, these guys just know how to look good in front of the camera. Though I’ve shot so many times inside Oasis, God still showed me amazing spots where I haven’t used up yet. All the ideas were just flowing and I’m just amazed how God is doing all these amazing stuffs for us that day.
Anyway, here are some of my chosen pics…
See you on your wedding day Brian and Sol…. Advanced Congratulations….
