Preview: Joseph & Shary

Wedding Photography by Edelle Ryan Macalandag



It is fun to shoot a wedding of friends yet again. Shary or "Doc Shary" to her colleagues at the Gov. Galleres Memorial Hospital in Tagbilaran City where she works went to UP Diliman for her bachelor's degree. Being a fellow Boholano, I got to know her then. It helped also that his younger brother, Jepoi, was a high school classmate.

Joseph and I went to the same high school (Bohol School of Arts and Trades) but they were a year older than us. But we had the same sets of friends since we were also Youth for Christ (YFC) members.

Wedding: Trash the Dress, Bohol Style

Photos by Bohol Wedding Photographer Ryan Macalandag
Clients: Kim and Cindy Majam
Church: Dauis Church
Preps & Reception: Panglao Island Nature Resort



I had the opportunity to shoot Kim & Cindy for their Bohol wedding. They were quite young and hip and wanted a Bohol wedding photographer who can explore. So I did a "Trash the Dress" session with them right after the church ceremonies.

The day had started with a fickle weather already. It drizzled slightly in the morning but the sun had shone nicely that afternoon. But come late afternoon, the rain was torrential - almost a storm. All the plans I had for their post-ceremony shoot was gone and had to think fast and sure. I had thought we would do a sunset shoot by the beach already but the setting sun was nowhere to be found.

Thinking quick, we still headed for the beach in dark and did a TTD shoot amidst the thrashing waves. The couple were so cooperative and we had a blast. It was still raining then so we finished quick. My camera was a bit wet, needless to say.



The photos above are some of my early edits and loved it. Amazed really. And quite humbled by the experience as well. As a photographer, I learned that I could only do as much. Beauty really should come from the subject. It is only up to the photographer to capture the moment if only to record it to be cherished for years to come.

Thanks for the opportunity, Kim and Cindz.
