MY BLOG HAS MOVED!!!

Hey all, this blog has been a little quiet for the last few months because I’ve been preparing to move it permanently to a new location. WordPress.com has served me well for a year, but it’s time to move on.

You may check out my new blog-site at www.bryanyaparazzi.com.

See you there!

Benedict + Joy’s Onsite Photo Slideshow

Last year, two places in San Juan, Batangas were the ‘talk of the town’ : One’s San Juan Nepomuceno church, where the famous local stars Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos tied the knot, and the other’s the Acuatico Beach resort, a newly-opened premium leisure resort that quickly became one of the top travel destinations in our country today.

So glad Benedict and Joy chose these places for the celebration of their union.

I’ll be posting the photos here very soon. In the meantime, here’s the same-day edit slideshow I did for my lovely couple. The song used was Benedict’s remixed version of his fave 80′s tune, “Electric Dreams.”

Stewart + Melissa (for Nelwin Uy’s Studio)

Preps: Hotel Sofitel Philippine Plaza
Church: Santuario de San Antonio Parish
Reception: Century Seafood Restaurant

The couple were booked on the same hotel so I was able to shoot a bit of  Melissa’s preps before going to Stewart’s suite.

Cute nieces of Stewart welcomed me as I entered the room. All dressed up, and very eager to not only attend the wedding, but to harass the photographer, haha!  Took shots of these cuties hundreds of times with their own different poses!

Always a pleasure to work with the masters of wedding photography & videography. Here’s Nelwin Uy and Jason Magbanua shooting side by side during the ceremony.

Jack + Ruth (for Nelwin Uy’s studio)

Seven Suites Hotel in Antipolo City is just a 10-minute drive from my place…  on a motorbike, that is. So when Nelwin asked me to go straight there where Jack (the groom) will be having his preps, never had second thoughts on using Puring, my use-around-Marikina-only motorbike. I have very low tolerance for ‘trafficky’  areas anyways and always loathed the thought of keeping grooms , or brides, waiting.

Groom’s preps: Seven Suites
Ceremony + Reception: Mango Farm
Flowers:  Vatel Manila

Never had the chance to shoot Ruth’s preps and her solo portraits, so I just shared here my shots of  “big guy” Jack.

Here are some candid shots before the ceremony started.

And here’s Dylan of Vatel Manila helping out Jack with his boutonniere.

Speaking of Dylan, this was my second time to witness the skills and creativity of the master of floral arts.  Very very impressive indeed. Enjoyed shooting his arrangements so much that I thought of sharing with you some of my shots during the ceremony.

Here’s the back shot of the bride during her grand entrance. The succeeding photos are some few candids during the ceremony.

And now, the couple’s portraits:

Oh, can’t end this thread without showing you this cute cake design.

Hilarious huh? hehehe. Best wishes to you, Jack and Ruth!

Melo + Karel (Bryan Yap Photography)

The most awaited day for Melo & Karel… and me! We did our engagement shoot six months ago… yes it was too early, but it helped build up the excitement all the more in all of us, haha!

One of the best garden weddings I’ve ever been to. Karel wanted an autumn-inspired theme, and Dylan of Vatel Manila delivered perfectly. It captured the couple’s personalities very well, and helped create the  mood for everyone present in the wedding.

Check out the shots to see how much fun we had on this wonderful day!

Preps/Wedding Venue & Reception:  Richmonde Hotel/ The Mango Farm
Make-Up: Gemma of Eddie Bruan
Flowers: Dylan Gozum of Vatel Manila
