Nigel and Roxanne Engagement Session

The best things in life are free but paying a certain amount for a photoshoot can also make a difference.  We had a great engagement shoot at the Historic Intramuros area last Thursday with Nigel and Roxanne.  The lovely couple enjoyed posing for our camera and did not mind the harsh sunlight, even sweating it out as we move from one location to the next.  They will have a garden reception and they choose a garden setting for their engagement shoot to compliment the images of their wedding day.  In spite of the hassle and bustle of getting the permit and the limitations that the guards are imposing on us, we were able to capture images that they can claim as their own. :D  To you Nigel and Roxanne, our wishes and congratulations to your wonderful journey together as a couple. See you on the 12th of November.

It has been a cliche to remind our clients that 80%  success rating of any event is how they prepare and provide for the details.  As photographers and storytellers, we capture them for you.

The venue can make or break an event. Having a good lighting and good ambiance will truly help in creating beautiful images and memories.

A good rapport starts even the pre pictorial stage.  Good communication skills will help facilitate almost everything.  Keeping her at ease with the camera and team become effortless on the big day.

Keeping it simple and elegant.

Natural
