we capture LIFE

i just noticed that almost all of our wedding suppliers last year are getting married 0r were already married this year (like our photographer JJ Lucas, and also our make-up artist Chin Viyar) This time, it’s our coordinator, Tr. Portia Mantuano or Teacher Eps, as we call her.

after I got home from work, I took a rest because I knew this would be a long day for me. I woke up around 12.30pm and was still sleepy.  I wanted to message tr. Eps if it was ok to be late at her party. fortunately, I didn’t have the time to send her a message or txt because we were busy preparing things to bring to the party

beautiful and elegant place in South Forbes at Bali Mansion

i love the columns there because of the shadows and the lines– a perfect place to have a E-session

what is a celebration without sweets. these are ordinary cupcakes bought from the grocery with  icing, candy sprinkles  and lots of love as shown in their messages

most of the time, life is represented by heart.

sometimes life can be messy and dirty but always keep in mind that when life becomes odd and luck is not on your side,

you always have your friends who will comfort you

we never back fight a friend.. we simply love them back

unexpected guests may come in the future, just welcome them and be yourself.

good or bad, there’s a lesson in life that you could always learn from them

This was the funniest part of the afternoon. Tr. mariel one of the teachers in PLICA told everyone that tr. portia and sir ron will arrive in a few minutes. They all panicked because they didn’t know how to surprise them. They were all shouting and running around and the last thing they thought about was to hide under the table.

then out they came… “SURPRISE”

a mini veil was worn by tr. Portia to signify that weeks from now she is getting married.

the rest 0f the afternoon was spent for games and swimming

congrats to Sir Ron and Tr. Portia

welcome to the club and hoping that Matthew will have a playmate soon

see you on 5/15/2011

i shoot a friend for a maternity shoot (click here to view) and exchange for my service is a overnight stay @ bellevue

me and my wife had a chance to shoot around with matthew

great experience for us. we really enjoy it.

thanks to Jun and Camille Navarro for the GC

successful family portrait

matthew portrait shots.. he likes being in the camera

kulit mode sa lobby

mommy and son moment

my brother Rey enjoying the pool.. almost a day he swam in pool

he went home with sunburn and the color of his skin is darker than the usual

a college friend called my and ask if i could shoot cars

and when i went to the studio i didn’t know that i’ll be shooting for a company product

hope you enjoy the pictures

**no edit on the pictures just watermarks**

it is not that i’m not welcome with my previous community which is Single For Christ

but me and my wife have to take our service to the next level. of course in CFC already

Last February 6, our sector asked our band to play for the worship for provincial leaders assembly

and i must say that aside from serving our God, i really miss playing in a band (even it is only a K-hon, i usually play drums)

after that i try to worship God and reminisce the old days by taking pictures and offer to God almighty.

the topic that event is about love because it’s February and it is love month. SFC called it LOVE FORUM

hope you enjoy some of the pictures

here’s the speaker for that day. joining the activity. thanks tito francis

writing in the paper on a back of a person.

here is my SFC chapter.. i saw them attempting to make a jump shot.. i try to take a picture of them.. i hope this is a success one!!

after the session, we take the afternoon to shoot for a new profile picture in Facebook

but it turns out to be a band picture, because we just think that we dont have a picture as a band

unfortunately, we’re having struggle in capturing moments because we dont have tripod and no one to operate our cameras

so we just decided to put it on the ground a put it to timer mode.

just a nice framing and wonderful bandmates

and here’s the final outcome of our craziness that day!!

after that day, i realized that it doesn’t matter if you are serving in a community or not.

all you need is a faith and constant communication with God.

and good thing that my set of friends came from a community that has only one belief in terms of serving God.

my 1st (success) maternity shoot

had a great time shooting with the couple.

Pregnant model: Camille Navarro

Hair and Make up: Jc Cantos

feel free to leave some comments.. thanks

the preperation
we start around 5pm.. it’s almost dark
at the lobby of bellevue
husband and wife plus baby

learnings in this new experience

it is hard if you dont have any assistant with you but the good thing is you are flexible to make good shoots

so hard to make a pregnant woman to pose but good thing model is willing to make some sacrifices for future view of her son

lastly, use your talent not only for the reward that will be given to you.. use it to express the beauty of life that the lord entrust to us!!

god bless camille and praying for the safe deliver of vered!!

these are the best words i can describe the wedding of vic and raine

stressful and tiring because im awake almost 24hours

but thanks to my crew, we pull it of.

enjoy the rest of the pictures

vic, the groom. if sorry worth a peso, maybe im already a millionaire because he always say sorry every time

he feels that we are not taken care off.

raine, pressured bride because she panic on the day of her wedding. i thinks that is normal.

and also if thank you is worth a peso im a millionaire

simple but like it.. like our couple.. they are simple but cool

the bestman

looks calm but not… try to be relax even there a lot of pressure out of the room

the march

our happy couple

after the ceremony

thank you vic and raine for the wonderful day

because you allow us to be part of your special day

good luck to you both!!

for the past month, i have a corporate job.

a job that is easy to get but hard to sustain. i set aside my passion to provide food on the table and buy our needs and wants

but there is a big difference in doing your job while having fun

and doing your job just to have money..

one morning, i have a chance to have a relaxing day with my family. we went to tagaytay to enjoy the cold breeze of the wind.

have the chance to reflect on god’s word while in the top of the people’s park in the sky

1 Corinthians 10:31

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

im working with the company for only two months and i try to offer every second of my work hours to god and my family but still fail

everytime i log-off to my station, i’m pissed off with my shift..

that is why lord said to me that money is not everything.. i want you to live in peace.. and do what you want and spread my word

now, im posting this picture just to remind readers of this site that god make a perfect world

and we have to appreciate it even we dont have money to spend it

as the bible says:

Genesis 2:15
The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

make your world be more meaningful this year.. lets put color in every work we do and lets make an impact to each and everyone of us

money is everything but money can’t buy happiness

passion in doing something can create better things

i always like thinking out of the box, so even if it is looks weird i will still continue it

because creativity first before satisfaction

every picture has a story so i will try my best to speak it out for you

while everyone is busy inside, take a chance to shoot outside. out of the ordinary capture this one.

shoes protect our feet, it symbolize protection and capability to extend our self

time is gold as they say but for me

time is important because every moment must be treasured and when you know it

it is already gone
