Donny+Vanessa Nuptials (Shoot with Richard Lazaro)

I recently worked with Photographer Richard Lazaro for a Wedding Shoot. And I have to say I did not expect a lot of things in a wedding shoot... the quiet yet busy Bridal Suite in Intercon Hotel, the lovely bridesmaids getting ready, the smaller smoke-filled deluxe room of the groom, the pictorial with the live glock 9mm hand gun, the running around taking photographs of everything I know about weddings.... It was a whirlwind! A lot can happen or not happen in a wedding shoot, for example, We wanted to do a pictorial by the Intercon Swimming pool before the ceremony but because time was always against us, we weren't able to that one. but I guess its always like that in wedding shoots, so we just had fun and did what we love the most. :D

I have never been so tired in taking photographs in my entire life, at the end of the wedding shoot my feet was hurting, my legs was cramping, and my back was just fatigued and sore...(TRUE STORY)... but all was worth it when I finally got to browse thru the photos in my borrowed macbookpro (Thanks Lesley!).

Again, Congratulations to Donny and Vanessa!

Hope you enjoy the Photos, We enjoyed taking them!
