shiny, happy people: raynald and emie wedding

raynald and emie are good friends of ours dating back to their days in samsung electro-mechanics. it’s been years since they’ve both left the company for greener pastures (much, much greener… ) but when they decided to tie the knot, selle and i still got invited. woohooo!

raynald is a dependable reccom member when i was handling it back in ’05. we were just a handful back then hence, labored a lot… but we had fun while at it. he also was a member of my samsung cell group circa ’03-’06… (and so was emie. ) emie marie is a fellow iskolar ng bayan and a frequent office chatmate of mine – when she left… those chats turned to email exchanges.

emie asked a lot about wedding stuff during their preps. we even even met up one time at a bridal fair for a “double date” of sorts. buti na lang may naitulong pala kami sa kanila as she was soooo thankful about our lanie acedillo recommendation.

i had an unofficial assignment (given by emie, cno pa kaya? hehe) during the wedding day – to be the backup photographer. i still have a pathetic d40… with a kit lens and nothing else so it was indeed a challenge. so here are some of the images i captured… one thing’s for sure – raynald and emie were ALL smiles throughout the day.

congratulations, guys… at “double date” uli tayo after your honeymoon.


the groom… happily strutting down the aisle


the bride preparing for her…


…grand entrance.


just love how the light gives her gown that “ethereal” glow. i wonder if the “official” photographer shooting across me was looking at the same light. hehe




like raynald before… emie was all smiles as she walked down the aisle.


shooting in san agustin is really hard because of the lack of lighting… but its architecture more than makes up for it.








mr and mrs herrera…


emie admitted that the gown was one of her priorities… and she had a KILLER gown! just look at the details…


while waiting for the reception to start… i managed to capture this scene. cute, huh?



the semphil contingent…


i have no idea what they’re looking at…


i had to run from the back row to the front row just to capture this scene. now if i only had a zoom lens…


wacky shot… up close.


shiny, happy couple.


love this one… even in black & white


i’ve done this kind of shot a number of times already… and, just recently, a friend of mine won a contest with a similar shot. cool, no?


the same girls i shot playing in the garden… this time, sitting still. cute pa din.


the semphil contingent… just before going home.




my always gorgeous wife… with a brand new dress just bought for the occassion.
