Salve Romasanta and Jason Bautista
Ceremony: St. Angela's Church. Brea, California
Reception : Holiday Inn. Buena Park, California
Photographer : John Mateos Ong

Fun! Fun! Fun! Words to describe this adorable couple and their wedding. The afternoon ceremony at St. Angela’s in Brea and the reception at the Holiday Inn Buena Park was just right. It was our first time working with one of the Philippine’s top wedding photographer John Mateos Ong ( Jong! ). His remarkable ability to set the mood for our couple and his extraordinary talent for shooting explained why the bride decided to fly him here to capture their union.

Doing their Same Day Edit was quite an experience too. For some reason I thought I saw a 9pm presentation. We we’re actually set for 8pm!! and I just realized that at 5:45, just as I was starting to do my editing. Ooops! Needless to say, me and my little Macbook had to work double time to get it done on time. Thanks to the 4gig RAM on my kit…..we pulled it off, even burned on a dvd, with 15mins. to spare...Whew!! Thank God and our amazing crew!!

A fun-filled day. A cute smile from the groom… right before “he may kiss the bride”. CHEERIOS Cereals at the end of the aisle to get the little flower girls to walk. (pretty smart, moms!) …… here’s their Same Day Edit.

Ruby Roxanne Gonzalez & Sergio Antonio Hernandez
Ceremony : St. Philiph's Church. Pasadena, California
Reception : Pasadena Museum of California Art
Photographer : Greg Bumatay, Bumatay Studio
Make-up : Jeanne San Diego

We had a blast shooting our first full spanish wedding! The historic city of Pasadena was the venue for our stunning couple. St. Philiph’s Church was perfect for the ceremony and the rooftop of the Pasadena Museum of California Art with the amazing sunset in the background made for one of the most romantic first dance I have ever witnessed.
With the creative artistry of wedding photography master Greg Bumatay, along with second photographer Neil Rosales, shooting their stills…what more can anyone ask for!! To view some of Ruby & Sergio’s amazing shots by Bumatay Studios, check out Greg’s blog.
Compliments to the beautiful bride’s make-up by Jeanne San Diego and the lovely gown by Pronovias.
