Groomsmen 101

I was going through some photos and I found this particular photo very intriguing. In this photo they might appear dangerous, but in reality is they're harmless and friendly as ever. LOL! These group of young lads are the ones that I go to school with. And they did their Groomsmen's duty extremely well! So I thought of writing and compiling some tasks and duties which carry out by them.

There's more to being a groomsmen than just showing up in a tux. He serves as an advisor to the groom beforehand, helps the groom be organized, aids with any wedding planning details he can, and helps seat guests at the wedding. While a groom will want to have his best buddies and the men in his life that mean the most to him, he should also make sure that he has a group that is responsible enough to handle their duties, or at least one person willing to pick up the slack for the others.

Here's the rundown.

- Supports the groom, advises him, listens to any pre-wedding nervousness
- Assists the groom in picking out what the groomsmen are going to wear
- Either gets measured at the formalwear shop or promptly sends his measurements to them, and offers to pick up and return the suits.
- Goes to all pre-wedding events, including engagement parties, any coed showers, bachelor party, and rehearsal dinner
- Helps to plan and pay for the bachelor party
- Help to clean and decorate the getaway car
- Gives a wedding present, and often an engagement present
- Helps the groom relax and get dressed on the day of the wedding
- Before the ceremony, you may be asked to usher guests to their seats. At traditional Christian ceremonies, guests of the bride's family sit on the left, and guests of the groom's family sit on the right
- Be prepared to serve as information central and direct guests to restroom facilities and the reception site.
- Holds the drink, or often times help the groom to drink.
- Helps to carry away gifts and personal items after the wedding

Walden and Joanna

Adventures can be found anywhere, it is a matter of if you're up for it. For me, the story of Walden and Joanna simply evolves around love. Their love is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops, like the universe itself, only by perpetual discovery. Every single step of the way, every shutter that clicked, Love never fails to show in this assignment. I hope you enjoy this series as much as we do, in this never ending adventure.

It's about the journey, not the destination

It runs parallel to our respective timelines, bubbling along quietly and settling as it pleases, be it on the smile of a stranger, the page of an old book, the pixels of a photograph, or the foam of our Sunday morning coffee. 

It exists beyond our physical being, always moving, twisting, and turning,forever adopting form over function.

To view love as a destination would be to sell ourselves drastically short. It would be solidifying that which is inherently fluid, unnecessarily allowing it to be held, lost, bent, or broken. Just imagine the recurring heartache which could be so easily avoided if only we celebrated love as the river, not the vessel — the body which moves us, unwaveringly from beneath, not that with which we immediately travel.

They lie just up ahead, always a little further away than we’re able to reach.

Destinations connote both physical and emotional disembarking, some kind of stagnancy, the end of whichever road we’re traveling at any given time. When we view our heightened ideals of love as points at which to reach, we run the risk of actually reaching them. Our existing relationships falling gently into routine, our love, set to repeat.

It becomes a thirst quenched, a craving satisfied, a passion subsided.

For it be kept alive, we must first ensure that there’s room to grow, places to go, and exciting new territory to discover. The feeling must remain conscious. We must choose to fall in love again each morning, find new creases in the same page, new freckles on the same back, new algorithms to the same familiar smile.

We must ensure that our love remains a journey.

Wedding : Walden and Joanna

Had the pleasure to document Walden and Joanna's Wedding this past weekend. We started to tag along with their journey ever since the portraits session. Right off the bat, we knew they're perfect for each other. The way they look at each other to the way they express themselves it's like enamorarse all over again. She looks absolute stunning in that dress! and he looks ever so handsome. Here some of the photographs from the wedding. enjoy.
