Ace + Frances Wedding

Shot with Paul Vargas and Aldrich Lim for Imagine Nation Photography

Preps: Baguio Country Club/Camp John Hay

Ceremony: Baguio Cathedral

Reception: Camp John Hay Amphitheater

I will never forget Ace and Frances’ wedding for so many reasons. It was actually the first booking I’ve had as a main photographer. Before that, I’ve always backed up for someone else. (And I bet Ace and Frances don’t know that until now. Haha) My ex-officemate, Champ, is a good friend of the couple and he was the one who recommended me to cover the wedding. It was an out-of-town shoot, way up north in Baguio, AND it had an onsite slideshow. (Yes, it was my first time to do an onsite slideshow too) Add to that the fact that Ace and Frances are both lawyers (being a lawyer myself, I know from experience how meticulous lawyers can be. Hehe. But Ace and Frances were so easy to work with so it was never a problem). But I was so glad that the entire team delivered and the couple and their friends were happy with the onsite. Thank you God for guiding us through despite the lack of sleep and the cold weather.
