argh! for days, i am having problems uploading to vimeo but i can’t wait any longer, i need to blog now.

special thanks to oly ruiz for lending me his 16-35mm land the awesome 45mm tilt/shift lens anytime i needed it. =)

it was first time doing an onsite at the shrine of jesus and they’re more strict than my freakin’ first grade english teacher.

there were a thousand guests, our biggest to date.

jun & cel (independence day special)

Posted By bim in 5d, onsite, wedding

june 12, 2009 - christ the king
the mango farm
astoria plaza

for the second straight week, we were at astoria plaza and the mango farm. the room was packed with excited people but perhaps none more than the couple’s smart little daughter ella. nah, i don’t really think she understood what was going but she can’t wait to get into her little white dress. =)

how i made this video different from the last one is quite a challenge but the independence day hype made a difference. =)

kel & shie

june 6, 2009 - dellastrada parish
astoria plaza
mango farm

i easily lost focus when the groom started performing magic tricks. i still can’t figure out how he made the ring levitate. crazy cool david blaine/chris angel stuff, these things make me wanna stop whatever i am doing any time of the day and just sit and watch like i’m ten years old or something. =) lucky shiela’s got the magic show for the rest of her life. =)

cel & eunice

may 31, 2009 - grace christian church
edsa shangri-la
manila polo club

it was a very emotional wedding. bridesmaids drying their eyes, dads holding back their tears, moms crying…there was too much love in the air, it was unbearable and just plain beautiful. i swear i saw one of my shooters cry…and he’s a dude. i’ll stop writing right now before i say something cheesy (if i haven’t already) and just let you watch cel and eunice’s sde. =)

azis & sooky: a muslim groom and a catholic bride

Posted By bim in 5d, onsite, wedding

may 18, 2009 - the glass garden
edsa shangri-la

it was my first time to shoot a muslim wedding but by now i am used to wedding day surprises. even the song for the same day edit was decided after the bride and groom were done dressing up. =) we occupied both wings of the glass garden and the set-up at the reception was one of the most beautiful that i’ve seen. =)
