Pj and Kathy PostNup

PJ Amanse + Kathy Azaña-Amanse

On Him: Paul Smith
Location: camsurwatersportscomplex

Pj is one of my bestest friends. This alone puts massive pressure on me for this shoot.
They will be migrating to Canada on the 27th so we really had to squeeze this in to our tight sked.

CWC holds a very special place in our hearts. We’d often spend our lazy summer afternoons there swimming, wakeboarding, or just sleeping the day off.

Never thought working on a Christmas day would be much fun!
As Confucius puts it, choose a job you love, and you never work a single day in your life.

at the CWC villa.





On this construction site will soon rise the CWC boat lake. If you’ve been to the cable lake, this thing will be twice the size of it..so you also double the fun, the action..and the chances of getting stoked!!!




A shot inspired by Takashi Miike’s film DEAD OR ALIVE (HANZAISHA). It’s one of those films that would shake the artist in you to the core.
This is the shot Kath and PJ love the most. I think they are absolutely perfect for each other.

To my globetrotting super friends, in behalf of the mango team, I wish you all the fun and success in the world!

The ring/bling-bling shot



RIVER (Rea’s kid bro) shows everybody how to strike a pose.

The bride. All set and ready to rumble!



4th frm left is Rea’s bro who happens to be a member of the famed Akafellas. They belted out some of Rea’s all time favorite OPM tunes and lots lots more to everybody’s delight. Robi, who again happens to be a prolific radio disk jock also emceed for the event. You did one helluva job, dude! You stole the thunder away from the couple. You’d shame Pablo Francisco in a one on one showdown. hahaha.

The father-daughter dance.

On that very night, Rea’s dad celebrated his bday. He blows his cake as Tito Ralph with the glass of wine looks on.

Ralph’s Wines & Spirits is a family owned business. Needless to say, tons of these were flowing freely at the reception party.



Last two portraits at the Bellevue lobby.
