09.19.09 Angela and RJ

KALOG – a tagalog (filipino language) slang for “SOMEONE WHO IS JOLLY, FUN AND COOL”.

The word perfectly describes this couple! I guess we can actually say that for the entire entourage, everyone was KALOG! ..from the groomsmen, bridesmaids, and most specially the Maid of Honor, who also happens to be the Mother of the Bride! Yup, that was no typo.. Angela’s mom was her Maid of Honor! ..told you they were COOL, a first time for us.
Another first for us was shooting with the photography team of Zaldy and Linette Benitez. In spite of the scorching heat, we had an absolutely great time shooting with the awesome Deberriz Photography team.

The beautiful ceremony was held at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Cerritos and reception followed at the Knott’s Berry Farm Resort Hotel.

Heard this song for the first time (too!) on the radio that day and suggested it to the couple for their video……. “Hey, Soul Sister” by Train.

Kudos to Jeanne San Diego for the beautiful bride’s make-up.
