Galza + Quirog – Cagayan de Oro Philippines Wedding Photographer

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

I thought no one reads our introductions but thankfully some people do! And our beautiful bride, Charlene, is one of them. She thinks our introductions add spice, well, the word she really used was “attraction.” So she shared a few information regarding her and Rey’s journey. Here’s her message:

“Finally I got a chance to browse your Lakshmi website. As I was reading through some wedding introductions, I realized you barely knew what happened behind the scenes, before the wedding and all. I thought I might share a little bit about our story. The introductions you made added the attraction about the couple in the photos. The days before our wedding Rey and I were already very busy. Since Rey just came, we had to do a lot like attending seminars, submitting requirements, buying this and that etc. Plus we started fetching Rey’s relatives on the 24th until the wedding day itself. So it was very chaotic and exhausting since Rey wanted to see or pick them up at the airport personally even if there was a hired van because his relatives came from far off places; USA, Japan and Manila. And then another turn of event is that his father couldn’t make it to Mindanao because he got sick and doctors won’t allow him to travel. But thankfully by Saturday night we all had a chatty dinner and went back to the Pearlmont Inn for another bonding time. -) Before Rey came, I was thinking of rest before the wedding day but that didn’t happen. I was a very exhausted bride. Thank God I still look like a human being LOL. So many thanks to you all at Lakshmi for the beautiful pictures. It barely shows that both of us are tired. I guess the exhaustion makes me forget to be self conscious. I have so many people to thank for so I guess si God na lang. All the blessing comes from God including the people who have helped me, us in everything.”

You’re welcome Rey and Charlene. It gives us so much happiness to know that you like the pictures we took on your most special day. Thank you so much. God bless! “_)

Mark + Loreen – Cagayan de Oro Engagement Session

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
Loreen Lao is a fellow Corpus Christian and Atenean and it’s been eons since we last saw each other. When she added me on facebook I was totally surprised at how she blossomed into a blooming bride-to-be! She already had her prenuptial photoshoot with a cebu-based photographer but she wanted more pictures of her and Mark at a bridge here in the City of Golden Friendship, Cagayan de Oro City. We could have done a whole day shoot but due to time constraints and they had to attend to a lot of preparations for their September, 2010 wedding, we were only able to shoot for more than an hour. She even didn’t have time anymore to do any fancy makeup! Powder here and a little bit of lipstick there was all it took for her to look pretty in her pictures.
Congratulations Mark and Loreen! We wish you all the best! *^_^* – Julie

Angel – Butuan City Pre-Debut Photography

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Meet our beautiful debutant, Angelie Rose Talaugon Cabuluna. It was a whirlwind of events when we met her and her family. We were on our way to our Surigao wedding for Kim and Vanessa when Ms. Darling Shekkar of Blissful Moments called to ask if we can meet her and a client. When we arrived at Butuan at about 8pm, we were already starving so we went straight to Aling Cora for a sumptuous dinner (Thank you Mark and Barbz Yu.) We then asked if we can meet at the same place. Luckily, both Ms. Darling and the clients obliged. There we met the very much pregnant Ms. Darling (congratulations!), Angel’s mom (who was so sweet and adorable) and a very stylish 17-year old Angel. So fashionable that even right then and there, we can already have our photoshoot!

After all the business talk, we agreed that we would come back after our Surigao wedding and have Angel’s pre-debut photoshoot. They didn’t have time coz Angel will have to go back to Manila for school at the Adventist University of the Philippines as a 2nd-year Nursing student. It was a Friday night when we met and they have to fly back to Manila at 11am on a Sunday.

After our Saturday wedding, we then went straight back to Butuan and spent the night there. Early Sunday morning was our agreed shoot. But like any other day on a rainy July, the sun didn’t grace us with its power, so we just had the shoot inside their house and at Dotties Hotel. It rained the entire time so when we finished indoors, we coyly asked Angel if she can play in the rain and we were so pleased when she said yes! Her mother, cousins and friends were there to support her and it was a fun shoot amidst the rain. Rain didn’t stop us from having fun “_) Here are her pictures that day. Enjoy!
