PJ's Christening and First Birthday

While we love shooting and covering events in our hometown of Antipolo, driving to Manila is always a refreshing change, especially when we get to cover a lifetime event at the University of Santo Thomas church no less!

Which is why we were thrilled to cover Pj's Christening and First Birthday party.  Aside from Pj, being a totally cute baby, it was overwhelming to see this little bundle of joy be surrounded by family and friends who love him dearly.

Needless to say the kid has some awesome Baptism photos he can bring to school one day!

After his Christening, the reception was also his first birthday celebration and he left his white baptism clothes and appeared in a full F1 Racer getup! To match his 'Cars' theme of course!

Perfect for a little boy's first birthday party! Kudos to Mommy Pebbles for taking care of all the little details! :)

Thank you for having PCheng Photography cover these milestones in your life Pj! :)

Sabina's Christening

Kat - Sabina's mom tagged me to shoot her daughter's Christening. I always adored kids and families, and I love to be part of important occasions.  As mentioned in a Facebook post: " My wife never had any photographs of her Christening."  The thought of that scares me, when it comes to important milestones of our family. As a photographer, I will commit to capturing these important moments.

 I'd stab myself in the eye if that ever happens to me and my future kids.

Back when Kat was working in the same office as me, I listened to her stories about her family's adventures. As I watch (Facebook newsfeeds) I got to see their family grow and then I recently discovered that Kat was pregnant and having a baby. It seems that they were blessed with a baby girl, Sabina Keila and I was honored to have been tapped to cover her Christening.

Yana's 1st Birthday

We were tapped to cover Yana's beautiful first birthday celebration. Her dad (whom she is the spitting image of) works abroad so he couldn't be there so we really wanted to take beautiful photos of the event to capture these memories. 

Mommy Andy worked really hard to make sure that every detail of the birthday celebration was perfect. 

In a very unique theme (pastel blue and under the sea) Yana appeared to guests in an adorable crocheted mermaid costume :) 

Check out the beautiful photos of Mom and Yana :)

Alex's Christening and First Birthday

We attended a Christening and we weren't the godparents which is different especially since I always make the joke that "We're always the Godparent but never the Parent". Even if we weren't the parents or the Godparents we still had a role to play since we were commissioned to take photos of the event.

It was baby Alex's Christening and First Birthday Party and I just have to say that Paul really has a thing with kids, he'd always tell me that they (the kids) can't resist his charms, well you're preaching to the choir. 

We were extra excited for this event since the Christening was going to be at Christ the King Parish in Taytay AKA "Church in the Sky" and a church like that definitely deserves to be visited right? Technically you had to go "up" a road to get to the church, you take a left when you reach Muzon a Elementary school and just go 'up, up'. Once you reach the church it's really beautiful and it really lives up to its name. It was a nice and peaceful church, with it's location away from busy streets and public markets it's really easy to focus and pray without all the distractions. 

The Baptism was really well organized, it started on time and went on real smoothly. :) 

After the Baptism, guests proceeded to Max's in Taytay for the reception and I just have to go ahead and mention that with the recent renovation of the place, there were more function rooms, we love the ambient light in the room and the set up with the separate tables and chairs. 

There was a variety of entertainment for everybody. Funny clowns for the kids but who still catered to the humor of the adults (at the expense of the kids though), a salon for the young girls to get their hair done (along with temporary color, nails painted and they could even have their faces painted. Needless to say the adults enjoyed the salon's services too!
