Markku + Hana: A Wedding in Black & White

Posted by mimi on 23 September 2012

A lot of you, especially our M+K brides and grooms, know these two. Markku, who we met through Peyups.com, has been shooting with us since 2005. Hana, (who we met through Markku, of course), has been M+K’s Studio Manager since 2008 and has also been joining our wedding shoots since then. Together, they head our 2nd team.

They recently got married, yey! and now, it’s their turn to be on the other side of the lens. :)

Disclaimer: This set just contains photos I took. I only used the 50mm lens for the entire wedding and shot all these in black and white.

A little bit of trivia: H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, M is the 13th. 2012 when added together is 5, which the number of years that Hana & Markku have been together. And they’re celebrating their 5th anniversary on their wedding day.

Mike + Louie (Santuario de San Antonio, Blue Leaf Pavillion)

Posted by Karl de Leon on 12 September 2012

If I could describe Mike and Louie’s wedding it would probably be geek chic meets whimsy — a mix of Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, pinwheels and carnival.

What can be geekier than Dungeons and Dragons dice cufflinks for the groom?

Both being big Lord of the Rings fans, Mike wore the One ring, a titanium ring engraved with elvish letters.

While for Louie, she had an Evenstar pendant sown to her gown.

Weddings. More fun in the Philippines.

Posted by Karl de Leon on 9 July 2012

We’ve recently launched a new blog called Weddings in the Philippines. It’s a collaboration between us as the photographers and a team of writers we’ve assembled. This should be fun and we hope you find it useful as well.

Although we’ve been blogging about our weddings here eversince, I think having a blog that focuses on what makes Filipino weddings unique is not only good for the local wedding industry but also promote our country as the best place to get married.

Kindly let your friends know about this site as well. Thanks!
