Vantage Point

I came home past 1am this morning, we left UP Diliman a little past 10PM, I was dead tired, the idea of me coming home super late & then waking up early made me more exhausted. As you all know, meron akong workshop sa Intramuros every Saturday & it’s starts at 9AM. Meaning I have to wake up at 5:30AM just to be in Intramuros before 9AM, to make the matters worst, I need to download all my shots & burn it. Why? I’ll be needing the SD memory cards & to deliver the proof the next day, may shoot din kasi ng birthday kanina, kaya nga kadarating ko rin lang dito sa bahay.

Anyways, back to the wedding, since back-up photographer ako, I was assigned to the groom’s dressing, the groom lives somewhere in Novaliches. Sa totoo lang mas madaling trabaho ito, less details compared to the bride’s preparation. The family was very accommodating kaya nga mejo at ease ang kilos namin ng videographer.


The groom’s dad is a ship captain of an international cargo vessel, Jeff is the first born & the first one to be wed.

Just before we left the house, biglang lumakas ang ulan, OK na sana yung plano na ilalabas namin ang motor & kukunan namin siya while driving it, pero di na natuloy dahil sa ulan, since motorcyclist din siya, nag-request na lang siya na kunan sa loob ng garahe.

The ceremony was performed by 2 Pastors from IEMILIF¹, since I myself is a Protestant, hindi na ko nanibago sa ritual.

Sanay na ko sa kasal na may napakahaba at personal na tagubilin sa ikakasal at napakaraming awit na inihahandog sa ikinakasal.

Isa rin siguro sa kakaibang ritual ay ang pagsisindi ng isang malaking kandila ng mag-asawa mula sa 2 kandila.

Overall, halos parehas na ng Catholic ritual ang Kasalang Cristiano.

Nagsimula ang seremonya ng ika-6 ng gabi at natapos ito (kasama ang reception) past 10PM na. Isa itong garden wedding kaya doon na rin ginawa ang reception, dahil nga umulan, basa at medyo maputik ang damuhan kaya nangigitata ang sapatos at pantalon ko. Kahit itim pa ito, halata pa rin ang putik!

Hay sobrang nakakapagod ang linggong ito para sa akin, 3 sunod-sunod na coverage ba naman kasi!
