Rene and Joanne (Caleruega, Antonio’s)
Joanne and Rene’s spring wedding in Tagaytay was a treat for us as we got to work with a really cool couple and had a great time doing so. It’s not every wedding that you walk into the bridal suite and see that all the suppliers are your friends… Jody ‘not so’ Liwanag (coz of her Boracay tan), Niko and Veluz (she dropped her last name a long time ago during the heydays of Madonna), The Madgician (Madge+Beautician = Madgician) and the girls from her parlor, and the masters Mang Jason Magbanua and Mang Dino Lara with their teams. (Threelogy was there in spirit as they did the prenup AVP. And at the reception were host Melissa Ferrer and stylist April of April and Karen.)
As you can imagine there was a lot, as in A LOT of friendly ribbing (just like above, peace guys, don’t kill me hehe). But you have to admit, with the talent in that room alone, creative mojo was oozing everywhere.
The bridal bouquet at Sonya’s Garden:
The entourage neckties had a nice ‘O’ pattern, a perfect background for the rings:
Rene finishing his vows:
It’s been 5 years since my last Mirror Project, maybe I should submit this one:
The beautiful bride:
I just love Mimi’s photo of the cute flower girl:
There were 6 photographers (Mimi and I, Dino, Jun and Robert plus Madge) and 3 videographers (Jason, Cecile and Elson) and we literally had to scramble to find a different angle, especially during the couple portraits!
Flares baby!
Lovely placecards:
Their first dance as husband and wife:
Thank you Rene and Joanne for the opportunity. Also please check out the blog posts from Veluz, Dino, Jason and Madge, fun times

Hi Mimi and Karl, After booking Fotogra in 2005 (if my memory serves me right you were the first supplier we booked) I was constantly checking your blog whenever I’m online whether at work or at home. Never missed a blog post (wedding related or not). I was a fan since you guys did the wedding of Pazette, one of your first clients. Tonight as I read your blog I feel I’m in a twilight zone for I see myself and Rene in your pictures. FINALLY. My heart skipped, hopped and jumped with joy. You were thanking me for the opportunity. But for me its an honor to be with you guys during one of the most important day in our lives. Thank you for the very beautiful pictures that we will treasure in our lifetime.
