I

I am finally done editing all the last remaining weddings of last year. Hooooraaay! Next is to make the albums, which is very challenging by the way. It’s hard to choose what photos to use.

How does one tell a story with just thirty or forty pages of photographs?

Ramil and Trixy tied the knot last December. I can still vividly remember how much fun I had that day. Ramil wasn’t so keen about having his photos taken. He said that I just need to concentrate on Trixy. We had to use all the tricks we had just so we could make him feel like we weren’t taking pictures of him. Trixy, on the other hand, loved being photographed. She didn’t mind that we clicked away here and there.

I guess it’s like that! You find someone who is the total opposite of you. One is shy. The other one isn’t. For some couples, one is organized while the other loves chaos. I’ve heard this many times during speeches and even from priests and pastors that nothing is perfect in relationships. With time, I have learned that you have to embrace all the imperfections. Work thru it! Wish and pray for patience.

I guess happily ever after happens after every storm has passed and conquered. I always tell myself this during weddings that the real deal happens right after the honeymoon. When LIFE finally happens!

I apologize for my musings! But it’s hard for me not to connect my heart and thoughts to what I do. I can’t shoot a wedding with an empty heart and feel so automated because it’s something that I do. Often times when I try to compartmentalize my feelings and thoughts, after work, I would feel so empty and spent. It is my wish and dream to work with and for clients who will also fill my soul and enrich me as a person and that I’d still be a part of their milestones after the wedding. That truly is an achievement!
