Our recent pre-wedding in Mt. Pinatubo using an Iphone 8

And so we got this new phone a few weeks back and the idea of shooting an entire pre-wedding on an Iphone 8 have crossed our mind along with the big question, can we pull it off?

The answer, we definitely did!

It was such a weird feeling having directing couple poses while holding just only a phone, but then we find it as a challenge. Surprisingly the new Iphone 8 kicks ass with it’s dynamic range and it’s new bokeh features. The results were amazing. The resolution was also solid, we can print the photos on our usual 10×15 prints without any loss. The image HDRs and the optical stabilization rocks too. The mobile phone cameras are truly catching up with the professional cameras. We were pretty amazed with how the color vibrance came out too. Spectacular.

Enough praises already with the new Iphone 8. Please also do checkout Amiel and Ann Marie’s Mount Pinatubo pre-wedding using our trusted Canon dslr’s here.

Big thanks to our couple and shout outs to the entire Merry Me team for the opportunity.

Up: Nald and Tal Pre-Wedding

This is how we’ve spent our afternoon at Casa San Pablo (San Pablo City, Laguna) – with Nald, Tal, and family. I’ve mentioned this before, her (Tal) folks were like a true family. The sweet feeling that we belong. We miss Carleen (and Santini) though but we’ll see you guys in February. It’s two more months to go! As for the shoot, new location to explore and play with, plus we knew Tal and Nald came in well prepared, obviously! The sun and the weather came in perfect too. We got raves from the teaser images we posted via Facebook – sharing to you how we felt:
