Shared Blessing

Aug. 13, 2009

West New York, NJ

Fruit of love is one of the most amazing thing that can happen to a couple and feeling this experience is always a bliss. Being used to shooting weddings this is avery new one for me and I am starting to like it.

A Bliss

August 2009

Colonia NJ

Love that was formed between two person is a great thing but having the fruit of that love is much more unexplainable so when this old client called me to shoot them before she gave birth I was thinking I am a wedding photographer, what will I do in front of a pregnant mom? I told them this will be my first time and let us experiment. Everything went out well now that baby is born, a very happy mom and dad, thanks for sharing that experience with us.

There is always a first time

June 2009

New Jersey

More than a couple of hundred weddings on our belt and now we are like dope addicts looking for another high. So we tried to think outside of the box and these are our firsts:

- street engagement shoot

- beach engagement shoot

- kids portrait

Collective Soul

May 2009

Collective Soul

The whole May is a very busy month for the whole MPW crew, some weddings have tight time gaps, and some weddings have no parking but all in all it was a lot of fun. The last gig was May 24th (see sleeping shots on the job photos) and the whole month of June is a breather for the group. To recollect our soul, recollect our artistic thoughts and prevent burn-out. After a couple of weeks rest we are now restless coming up with new ideas, we are excited to make our new offering the "AVP Love Story" it is an engagement photo shoot plus video ala “MTV”. This Sunday the whole crew will be in Long Branch NJ to shoot our first AVP for 2009, and also the first beach shoot for us so let’s see what will come up; we need to be crazy again, stir our brains and recollect the artistic thoughts, kind of Frap with whip cream on top.

PS- we don't really sleep at work

Four Weddings & A Photo Booth

April 17-19
New York , NJ Area

We must be doing something right, client numbers are peaking up for 2009, thank you for the dedication and eagerness of our fun-loving crazy group. Words cant explain how fun and exhausting these weddings are, truly different weddings have different flavors. Also it is our first time to introduce our PHOTO BOOTH, client feedback is very welcoming, literally people lined up for their turn on the booth, even the waitress requested for one, who doesn't want to be photographed? So take a look at our SDE videos and peek what happened to MPW Group this 3rd week of April.

From Ogie Alcasid to South Africa

A couple of years ago when MPW was just starting we booked a bride and after booking she called us asking "Can you please sign an agreement form? Because my brother will sing in my wedding and he does not want his photo/ video being used with no authorization?" I said "Of course who is your brother anyway?", "His name is Ogie Alcasid". My excitement was ruined, the brother did not make it to sing on our clients wedding. Then after a year the bride referred us to another couple, we shot their wedding and the groom told us (click the email above) he sent their wedding video to his mom in South Africa which makes her mom cry watching the video. I cannot imagine our video in South Africa, a long way. We are happy that out clients relive their wedding day thru our work.

That was how we described their wedding day, rainy and cloudy. They are from South Jersey and a true "country feel" almost not “Jersey feel”. While driving to their place, we noticed a lot of horses, cows and sheep at the front yard in most houses, but should I say big houses, HGTV houses. The party was wild with the brother of the groom doing BEATBOX while the groom and some friends dance to it ala ABDC (America's Best Dance Crew), boy they got talent.

No flower in the garden

Longwoods Garden PA

This garden is a great attraction for people who love flowers, but when we arrived they are all gone, nothing but dead grass. We were lost at first but the photos came out nice.

We are My Pinoy Wedding 2

We are My Pinoy Wedding

March 14, 2009
Penndel PA

We are My Pinoy Wedding, after our humble beginning in 2003 in Bayonne NJ, we are very happy in what our group have achieved. We are a group of young individuals who loves to see great and cinematic weddings, and that fantasy is now a reality to our clients. As we always say, "your wedding is our wedding". None among us had a great wedding, some are not even married yet, but we are living the dream, not our wedding dreams though.

We shot this on a very simple technical set up, one light setup (household bulb), on a brick wall near a fireplace during our last MPW anniv party. Creativity is the key to this profile photos, we are not models just trying hard to be, who doesn't one to be just once in your lifetime right? Check our facebook page (Glenn Maningas) to see the behind the scene. Again to all our friends, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT, MARAMING SALAMAT PO !!

Sweet n Simple

Filipino weddings are all about fun, food, dancing, fiesta. But this couple chose a different path, only those close people are invited (around 40 guests), very private, very sweet. We cannot deny that we also felt that love in the air.

Leave message for the couple.

We Feel Good

Hasbrouck Heights NJ

This is our first full gig for 2009 evrything went smooth, no complaints, beautiful (always grinning) bride, nice weather, perfect SDE, nice party and of course good food not only on the dinner party but I think we downed all the sandwiches in the brides room during her preparation.

The SDE is very much different, this bride wants a fast paced SDE so we gave her what she want (isn't that always the case on every wedding? you always give the bride what she wants..always).

CALIFORNICATION

Hacienda Heights CA

Sorry for the title but this SHOWTIME series is addicting, anyways this is our first wedding in the West Coast. We love California except for the darn traffic, weather in CA reminds us of our beloved PILIPINAS. We captured this funny scene between the dad & the bride where dad is pretending to have his emotional moment, kudos to him it looks real.

More photos here, feel free to post your comments for the B&G.
