Pardon the number of blog entries (or lack thereof) this month. Well, weddings have been few and far between … which resulted to us having a few spare time in our hands … which we used to put ourselves back together after enduring a wedding-packed August. Rested and somewhat stress-free, it’s back to regular programming!

We ended September with an exclamation point by covering the wedding of Jay and Diane (Dawa). Remember Denden, our college buddy and Sagada/CamSur brethren, Dawa is Denden’s youngest sister. So in short, it’s very much like shooting our own little sis’ wedding.

Dawa is a workaholic. In fact, she was busy computing their business’ payroll while she was being made up. Oh, and her gown ended up a bit big for her because apparently … she lost weight. Now that’s one story I’m sure I’ll be hearing from her for a very, very, very long time. And it’s something I have to live with.

Jay is a skilled poker player. I’ve had a number of Texas Hold ‘em battles with him in the past and he’s one tough guy to beat. No way he’d give a tell even if it kills him. He’d raise even if he has nothing. He wouldn’t budge. He’ll bluff. And he’ll fight ’til the end. Skills I’m sure will help him in his chosen profession - Jay is a lawyer.

They handed us the job of song-picking and ended up using this Matt Nathanson song which CJ suggested. Oh, and you’ll see footages of their prenup shoot (with Denden) taken last summer when these guys took us on a 3D/2N “Beach House” vacation in Matuod, Batangas. Hmm and I heard they’re planning on taking us there again sometime in November. Right Margaux? Hehe

Here’s Jay and Dawa’s on-site AVP - “Come And Get Higher”:
