When our plane tickets for Auckland last month were finally booked, I literally felt my heart raced I couldn’t wait to pack our bags. All great thanks to Stella and Loibert who made it possible for me to travel and cross the ditch. Sadly Brian couldn’t join us due to work, so I travelled alone with Pixie. I must admit I got worried a little bit how to manage shooting portraits with Pixie along and no one to watch over her but it all turned out manageable and I’m glad she’s at the age where she listens more most of the time if I had to tell her stay put or don’t run off far away from me while I was shooting. I may have myself my own budding assistant soon? Maybe. Haha.
Loibert and Stella are not just my close dear friends, they’re practically family, too. I knew Loibert since we were colleagues back in Cebu and met Stella when we were in Singapore. And I’m more than happy and grateful they flew me to Auckland to document their happy love story as it unfolded.
Because Auckland’s weather was such a fickle, one moment it’s sunny, next thing you know it’s drizzling, we only manage to take a few engagement portraits around town not too far away from the city harbour, just a day before their civil wedding. Obviously, I’ve barely scratched Auckland’s scenic highlights with only 4 days to visit there so yes, that was never enough and you bet I’m coming back again soon to explore a whole lot more! Coming up next are more photos from their wedding I can’t wait to share too!!!
