If you're from the south and have time to spare for coffee and awesome photography, then swing by our new baby: Imagine Nation Photography in Laguna! It's located at the very posh Gallery F Studio Café, Lopez Avenue, Los Banos, Laguna. Photographer Arlene Briones--a proud Lagunenia- welcomes us to INP's new address down south.

"Imagine Nation Photography Laguna was launched when more weddings started moving to the south, " Arlene began, emphasizing the trend for couples to highlight provinces like Laguna, Batangas, Quezon as their dream wedding destinations. (And that's to say the least about how these towns down south have also attracted much commercial development.) "All the while, too," she continues, "I moved back to Laguna after having lived in Manila for more than 10 years and noticed that there weren't as many good wedding photography outfits in the south."

But aside from that, INP Laguna bravely makes its mark outside Metro Manila to provide clients awesome photography services for weddings, events and shoots happening in the south, without the out-of-town charges.

"And we're not just serving up wedding shoots," Arlene adds, "but Life shoots as well--baby maternity, family, birthday parties, and portraits."

The photographers here are all from Laguna; call it 'home court advantage'. "We know the culture, people, places, and venues well," Arlene shares in behalf of her talented crew, "that means we can gel with the crowd better and be able to recommend nice places for portraits."

"But at the same time," she adds, "we are taking the skill we've garnered from capturing weddings and events  all over the country."

One more thing you should know about INP Laguna at Gallery F, Los Banos is that it's a studio-slash-café which means that "since it’s a coffee shop and photography hub at the same time," Arlene describes, "clients can come here, have coffee, and eat yummy cakes while browsing through the photo displays." And really, what's better than a warm cup of good coffee enjoyed while indulging on awesome works from INP photographers? Gallery F could well be your new, regular chill out spot down south!
