Naoki & Kana's Shangri-la Wedding
Because of this wedding, I want to learn how to speak Japanese!
It was a challenge when I photographed Naoki and Kana’s Shangri-la wedding. Unlike the traditional Filipino wedding, I get word cues from the people present during the wedding. It’s like preempting a moment to happen when words are spoken. Like when someone says something, as a photographer who is hungry for emotions, I look for and even wait for reactions. May it be a shy smile or a contagious laugh followed by more exchanges. I had to be more present and observant so I could really capture the love and happiness that day.
Kana did her hair and make-up. She took the time to fix herself. Naoki was just inside the room doing his thing. It was a refreshing break from the usual grind that happens during weddings. I love how spontaneous it was.
