It has been a year of adventure for me.  Very fit for my personality.  ;)  And yet, I thank God for everything.  He has blessed me with His grace and faithfulness.  More than I can pray for.  He has blessed me with a ’second’ life as well.  Truly, this year is one I will never forget.

To all of you who have been a part of my life in any way, please allow me to say, “Thank you so much.” To you who have been a part of my ‘crisis’ this year and followed my state of health religiously, my heartfelt gratitude to you.  I hold your interest in my life so dear to my heart.  I am a very blessed recipient of your attention, not to mention prayers as well.   To you couples who have booked me for your wedding even while I was still in the early stage of my recovery, thank you for your trust.  It means a lot to me.  To you our blog readers, thank you and I hope that I have written interesting reads for you.  I hope that in this year to come, I can assist you to looking at more photos that will show you what a wonderful God we all have.

No one knows what the future holds.  Only Jesus can.  I can never imagine what life would be without Jesus Christ.  It is already complicated as it is and my finite mind can only comprehend so much.  So I thank God that He will usher me to 2009 with His presence and will hold me steadfast with His grace and mercy.  And so, I hope you can join me as we all put our trust in the One who holds our lives dearly.

Again, to all of you who have blessed me with your attention, thank you for making me a part of your life.  Thank you for blessing me so much.

May Yahweh, the One True God, be with you in every facet of your life this coming 2009.  A very blessed and bountiful new year be with you all!!!

Nothing too sweet.  Nothing romantic.  Just like a casual date at Clearwaters at Clark, Pampangga.  That’s how Jamison and Jeanne wanted their e-session (engagement photo session) to be.  A sunny afternoon is what God gave us.  Thank God really as it was raining for most part of that week.  We also had the whole place to ourselves.

It was a rather long day today.  I know it’s a rest day for most but weddings know no holidays.  So we left Manila at 1:00 AM to get to U.P. Los Baños in time to shoot at 3:00 AM.   I was with my mentor, John Mateos Ong and Richard Mojica for Mark and Amor’s wedding.

It was a very simple one.  Intimate is the word, actually.  A time to celebrate a special day with the closest of the closest family and friends.  Being both UPLB graduates, Mark and Amor decided to get married at Mt. Makiling.  Yes, the place was beautiful.  Reception cum hang out place for the day was at the Pugad Adarna.

Snappy is a pilot by profession.  Rose will be his co-pilot in life this January 2009.  Rose wanted to have a rather simple prenup.  Nothing fancy.  Just pics of her and her knight in shining armor amidst the planes which Snappy flew early on in his career.  Wish granted.

More of them in here.

The picture we’ve all been waiting for.  I mean, us photographers.  Hahaha.  Meet the team of Imagine Nation.  FULL FORCE!

I hung out with Jason De Guzman one night, just taking shots of Sol who got married last October.  This is one of my favorite pics.

Congratulations Brian and Cleo!

Was browsing through some pics I took last weekend.  Found this one ring shot.  I like this one for the day… something different. 

Do you remember the story of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet?  You may click here to read the story.
Jesus demonstrated the washing of His disciples’ feet to stress that ‘in order to lead others, one must serve others’.

Jericho and Rina’s wedding was different in the sense that they did not opt to have the throwing of the bouquet and removing of garter as part of their celebration.  Instead, Jericho chose to wash Rina’s feet.

Just like Jesus, Jericho had wanted to show his wife Rina that although he is the leader in their marriage, ‘he is placing her needs before his own’.  What a wonderful act of love, isn’t it?

Of all the pictures I’ve taken on their wedding, this is the one that has touched my heart the most.  I believe Jericho has fully understood the meaning of ’servant leadership’.  Though I thought it only applies to the business world, it ‘does’ apply to marriages as well.  After all, God commands the man to love his wife just as Jesus loves the Church.  You can read more about it here.
