Supplier Rating: Joey Boquiren

We booked a photographer early in our preps but only after looking at the portfolios of a lot of other talented photographers, some were great but were waaay beyond our budget so we had to set our sights on someone who is showed a lot of promise but did not have uber high rates (yet hahaha).

Kuya Joey is a great influence with regards to how we planned the theme and how we executed our prenup. Ang laki ng matitipid mo pag kinuha mo siya, may stylist ka na may photographer ka pa! :) Transpolakad came from him, we just added tanan to give it a storyline. (and y'all know we love a good story!)

The best part about getting Kuya Joey was that we were able to shoot the whole thing without paying a single centavo to shoot at any of the locations. He was the one who would approach security guards, bus conductors and drivers, pedicab drivers and ask them if it was ok to shoot and if hindi pwede he would soften them up so we could get a few but great shots! :)

We never intended for our prenup to have a story but when we were featured on Rebellious Brides, putting a narrative just came in naturally. :)

Come wedding day, Kuya Joey was one of the first suppliers to arrive and he gave us our first surprise of the day, his second photographer was Rene Gaviola. I was floored since I knew he did the moulin rouge prenup that was seriously awesome, he was ahead of his time as he did boudoir before the dolls and did a risque prenup (at Victoria Court no less!) before Maggie Wilson. He was such a trooper he was shooting straight through the crazy after party! Here are some of my favorite shots from the wedding by Sir Rene:

And now here some of from favorite shots from Kuya Joey. Super humble guy, really easy to talk to (kahit sa SM Bacoor pa kayo magkita!), bongga ang office sa tapat ng SM Southmall and really awesome photographer. Watch the dreads! :)
