06.28.08 – P+E…a story of overcoming adversity.

What a day it was on Saturday for P+E !!! First and foremost, I want to congratulate P+E on their wonderful wedding. They are such a great couple and have really cool family and friends. Eugene, Sandy and I had a great time with everyone.

Where do I begin. I arrived at P’s house around 10AM that morning. I was hoping to catch P at the tail end of her make-up application, only to find out that her make-up artist was a no show ! Luckily, P had a back-up plan and we headed over to MAC to get her and her bridesmaids’ make-up done. You’d think that P would be stressed out like crazy over this, but NO ! She was cool as ice ! Naomi, from MAC, did a fantastic job on P’s make-up.

1 hurdle down…So, I drove the girls back to the house to get ready. P was looking gorgeous as ever and we got some really beautiful photos of her getting ready. She’s just absolutely adorable. And just as we were about to leave, we get a call from E letting us know that the limo broke down and there’s no transportation for the family and out of town guests at P’s house.

Seriously, what else can go wrong !?!?! The girls were pounding away at the phones trying to get a hold of any limo company for today and finally Enchanted Limousine’s came through ! These guys are awesome. I’ve worked together with these guys on many occasions. They are prompt, polite and know how to get the wedding party to their destinations in a safe manner. I highly recommend them. Their original limo company can be found here…they were 1,2,3 GONE ! Left everyone high and dry. It pays to go with a company with a good reputation and a large fleet.

Thankfully, the day went on perfectly afterwards. We had amazing weather and I couldn’t have asked for better lighting.

Before I left, I put on a surprise slideshow of some of my favorite images for P+E. They deserved it. They were troopers today and didn’t let anything put a damper on their wedding day. It also gave everyone a sneak peak of all the fun we had that day.  Here are some of the images below:

P+E, as I found out during their speeches, took dancing lessons, so we had a few minutes to practice their twirling before the big show at the reception.

That is just a fantastic idea ” a slideshow”? That is wonderful, Joee! Thank you so much.

I would love to see them, and I am sure, so our friends and relatives too.

The photos will remain on my blog for a long time :) I am in the middle of editing a slideshow for Pam and Edward so they can share it with everyone.

Hi Mae,
Thanks for the photos. Still in London will be home August 2. Photos are beautiful – the bride is gorgeous. Trip Wonderful!

Hi Joee,

I had been sending the pictures to friends and relatives for them to view, since the outcome of the photos were great! I got good comments and they were all impressed!
I met a former co-worker at the mall yesterday and her son is getting married soon. I will recommend you to her and I will also forward these photos to her. She is Italian and they will have about 400 guests. I spoke to her very briefly because she was working.
Yes, my niece from the Philippines enjoyed the ride in your porsche, Thank you so much!
You are amazing! I am really impressed of you guys. How long will these photos be in the internet?

Thanks again Joee, I really appreciate your help to us during the wedding not only to P&E
but also to the members of the family.

Yvonne, my circle is the world, so as long as someone lives on this Earth, I am interested in photographing them :) Thank you for the referral. It is much appreciated.

Hello Joee,

How are you? My name is Yvonne I am a cousin of Edwards. I’ve been moved by your blog and your talent with photography. I may have a potential client for you, whom may be interested in having her pre-natal photos taken. I wasn’t sure if you would be interested with photographing someone outside of your circle. Please e mail me and let me know and I will be more than happy to connect you with a potential client. I also wanted to ask permission to give her your blog, website so she can view your work. Ethan is absolutely a gem I can feel it in the photos I love the “Lion vs. Man” photos that you have posted. I’m so sorry that I haven’t had the chance to speak with you at the wedding everyone was busy so I didn’t have the chance.

Joee - July 8, 2008 - 8:55 pm

Thank you all for your kind comments. We love what we do and we want to make sure everyone is having a good time too ! We’re a big happy family…every wedding we try to do whatever it takes to make the day go smooth for everyone.

Tita+Tito Quiaoit: You have a wonderful family ! Thank you for letting us into your home and spending time with everyone. I hope your niece (?) from the Phillipines enjoyed the ride in the Porsche on the way to the church :)

Liz, whenever you’re ready :) Call me.

I totally agree with the Quiaoit’s. Never before have I seen a photography team so kind, personable and ready to help. Your pictures are the most beautiful I have seen. I want you for my wedding when that day happens! :-)
