I covered a wedding reception recently – you read that right: a wedding reception. I totally missed the wedding itself.

Mind you, I wasn’t hired to cover the wedding.  Heck, I wasn’t even there to cover their first reception.  Instead, they flew all the way from California to the Philippines to have a second reception – that is what I covered.

The tiny image you see on the left (click on it to see something larger) is one of the products of that coverage.  Yeah, their wedding was a few weeks earlier, but they still wanted to get some more portraits for their album, so we played around as the reception came to a close.  We found a little love seat, set up a couple of lights, tore apart a few dozen roses, and made a big mess.  The image you see is the result of that mess.

Of course, that isn’t the only image from the whole event.  I still have quite a few images from the wedding (yes, the wedding I missed) to share with you.  After the jump, you can check out a few spreads from the wedding preparations as well as the wedding itself.

Like I mentioned, I wasn’t there for the wedding, so credit for the photography goes to my (now Singapore  based) colleague, Sly Samonte.  The last spread, however, focuses on the Philippine reception.  I think most of those images are mine, but at this point, I don’t really know and I don’t really care.  All I care about is that Nico and Sarah love the album.
