10 23 09 The Filipino Wedding of Theresa and John Ravellos East Hanover NJ

12.06.2009



This my first Filipino Wedding which is basically the same as a traditional Spanish wedding. All the same elements are used so it was nice to be familiar with the process. This was also the first wedding I have had to shoot in the dark........at night.

On the way to the reception there was an accident on the parkway which caused us all to just miss the last bit of daylight and we were forced to shoot in the dark. It was interesting but I love natural daylight so much more! The grounds were so pretty at Ravello's that of course I was bummed but we made the best of the situation.

Billy was their limo driver from D&G limos. I was so happy he was there and he even stuck around for a bit of the cocktail hour. He wants to become a wedding planner and from our chat and how well he worked with bride and groom I can see it happening. He really loves his job and it shows. He helped fix her dress for the pictures, lent her his jacket to stay warm and was just so friendly to everyone. Another highly recommended driver!

RESPONSE FROM BRIDE:

The pictures are wonderful and you did a really great job of capturing so many of those special moments both big and small. I love re-living my wedding day through those pictures (I think I've looked at the slideshow at least once a day in the past few days since you sent them) and I'm sure I'll continue to enjoy them! It was a very nice touch how you added our wedding song to the slideshow. I've already been told by several of my friends and family members how great our pictures look. I'll definitely recommend you to anyone who wants pictures that look professional and at the same time feel like they're from someone who really knows us. Thank you again!

Theresa and John
