POD Weddings

Talk about contrasts that match! Violet and Sam tied the knot to seal their disparities to perfectly complement each other. Violet bears the sunny personality that goes for anything she is asked for as long as it involves FUN. For their pre-nuptial photo shoot we dared her to go wet and wild and she held her spirit up against waves and afloat the waters of the sea. Meanwhile, Sam stands tall with an ironic bashful persona. He might have held back but one thing for sure is that his coyness did not hamper his love from showing. On and off our camera, his eyes oozed with the affection he had for Violet. Friends and families who had the same privilege that we had in witnessing the glamour of their wedding would certainly agree that their wedding day was the end of the line of living an incomplete life for two different characters and the start of having a life with the perfect opposite!

Nothing could have been cooler than the weather at Tagaytay than the new couple Randy and Mei, when they gave our wedding team the pleasure of documenting their blessed union. The place was chilly alright. But the happiness and “cool” fun they wanted and indeed achieved at their wedding day was way beyond what the mountainous venue could show off. Not even the pouring rain stopped us from seizing the bride and groom’s intimate swagger. With a vintage car, colorful sneakers and hip sun glasses, theirs was a hit that will outrival legends. We’d bet our pay check on that! Click on. You’ll definitely agree.

Sparks as red as the old Volkswagen van Steve and Irene came in with ignited the chilly outdoors of the city of Pines during the couples’ prenuptial shoot. The nippy atmosphere was no match to the intimate warmth the couple shared. Love and serenity filled the air, as the couple lovingly stared into each other’s eyes and strolled hand in hand, indulging in a romantic afternoon walk under the towering pine trees and clear blue skies. Surely heaven couldn’t get much better than this!

A long and weary seven-hour drive from La Union to Tagaytay took the wedding team to a quaint place pleasantly reminiscent of an earlier time with a beautifully old hacienda charm. The mood of the wedding day itself resembled the rustic emplacement – charming, calm and serene, with the bride and groom easing off and taking pleasure in every moment with family and friends, nurturing attachments and relationships. Fats and Philip made sure that their guests had a splendid time and it delights us to usher you to relive the day’s lightheartedness over again through these photos.

No one ever thinks of a foggy, cloudy, rainy day as the opportune time to go out into the woods and have a pictorial, but luckily in the case of Boom and Ivy, this wasn’t a bother at all, but rather the rainbow after the rain. We met up with the couple up at the Philippine Military Academy grounds in Baguio City and had them walk, run, skip, and play hide and go seek in the woods for an entire afternoon.
Boom played along with the story the video guys came up with, and ended up wearing a “bahag”, the traditional tribal dress of the igorots in the highlands of Baguio. ivy played along and chased after him, eventually catching up with Boom to take the rest of the pictures.
With the couple, we literally got a taste of something truly unique, but as they say, the pictures tell more than mere words. Look on and find out.

What has water, takes about thirty minutes to get to it, and you need a lot of sun screen for an entire day?
100 Islands! We recently went with Ariane and Dianne to this chain of islands off the coast of  “di ko alam, fill in mo na lang ” and shot the engagement pictures of this lovely couple. We hopped from one island to another in a rented boat, a dozen of us spread over the two boats with all our equiment in between
We walked up a hill, and down a beach to capture these amazing photographs, while the video team also shot some scenes of the couple thoroughly enjoying the day.

We would like to thank Team Entourage, especially to MG who was kind enough to give us some brownies during the trip. We miss you! Thank you also to Artz for taking care of the team during the shoot, who was the videographer and “artz” director for the day. After the shoot, the entire crew and the couple along with their friends and family went to Maxine’s Retaurant, which is literally only a stones throw away from where the boats were parked. We can only say that with the ambience, and breeze, and the laughter that followed, we all enjoyed the meal.

He was a man.

He thought differently than others.

He created the iPod, the Macintosh Computer, The iPad, and the iPhone. All cherished devices.

He had a wife, and family. Whom we offer all our condolences.

Without you, our medium of art would not be what it is today.

Thank you.

POD Productions + PC4ME

It has been and is still is a fantasy for Kakay to ride horses, and jump over those obstacles, and she got to live that fantasy along with Ryan during our recent engagement with them in Batangas, at Leviste Equestrian. Although it was drizzling for most of the shoot, we got some spectacular outdoor shots of the two of them, enjoying the moment. Amidst the overhang of trees, the expanding greenery of the sprawl that is this secluded private home for horses, Ryan and Kakay was photographed by the wedding team, and by then end, the two of them were asking for more.

Surrounded by old buildings, crumbling into the present, Patrick and Claire didn’t have a care in the world as we took shots of them amongst the brickwork. We even squeezed in a couple of moving stills with the video guys. She brought with her a fantastic array of dresses and he brought with him a never ending supply of smart shirts and jackets.

During the end of the shoot, it ended up raining, but that didn’t stop Patrick and Claire and the photo guys from shooting the rest of the stills.

“The Sidewalk Engagement” Sam + Violet Prenup

We met them in Baguio on a sunny morning. It was completely perfect. She was dressed up for a ball, and he was smartly dressed in his black vest. But can You imagine that we had most of the shoot in the most public places. From the airport, to the streets of upper session we shot the couple. The best part was she was the one directing the entire thing.

One of the greatest shots, and most intimate of the entire photoshoot was when the two of them were in the moment, and completely forgot about the cameras, and even the crowd.
