Baldoria - Alzona Nuptial

I finally found time to blog about one of the two important events that I went a few months back. No excuses here because it's all my fault. Anyways, better late than never, right? hehe

Japan!Ryan, an office mate of Randy and I, got married last March 3, 2007. Yes, you read it right, this should have been posted way back in March. Laziness is such a deadly disease! :( Going back, Randy and I offered if we could be his unofficial photographers since they already hired a photographer. Not to mention that I'm not that good with events photography and I still considered myself as a novice and still need to hone my skills. I also did not have the right equipment during that time and I am somewhat thankful for the opportunity Ryan gave me because I was forced to buy the necessary flash and zoom lens that I needed for his wedding. Gave me a chance to learn how to take photos with them. The shoot was fun even though there were times that his official photographers were trying to muscle their way into getting the position that I already have to get a better picture.Ü Ryan and Mafe were also very easy to photograph because they were always smiling during the whole ceremony. I'm sure it's because they are both happy to finally get married but I think there was also some priest factor in those smiles because of the little blunders from the priest. An example that I can recall was "Do you accept her, Ryan, as your husband?"Ü It was also the first time that I saw an adult ring bearer (JJ) and flower girl (Elaine)! They even have a little bride and a little groom! Hehe

It rained hard when we got to the Mango Farm for their reception so they had to delay the ceremonies and I was only able to get a few pictures because I was afraid that my camera would get wet. Here are some of the shots that I was able to take before and after the rain.

Congratulations on your wedding Ryan and the baby that you'll be having. Or should I say have? :)
