Raymond Fortun is known as THE attorney for a lot of VIPs in the Philippines. Photography is his passion and has made a name for himself in the wedding biz as one of the top photographers in the industry.

There was no harm in trying to contact this seemingly busy man but he responds very fast. When we knew our date was still open for him, we booked him immediately.

We met RF in Sofitel for our prenup photo shoot. It was also the first time for me and Liz to be in a photoshoot so you can just imagine how tensed we were when we first met him. 

RF's most important asset is his expertise in encouraging his clients to be the best they could be in front of the camera. We didn't shoot right away when he arrived. He sat us both and talked about the process of getting married. And as a side joke during that pep talk, he also offers annulments, "just in case". He then proceeded on the process of the photoshoot: the flattering angles, the right lighting, the poses, etc.

The weather cut our prenup shoot short and so we decided to fly back the following month to do a reshoot. This was where we met Zye. She was the Yang to RF's Yin. A very bubbly girl and as encouraging as RF too. We totally felt more relaxed in this session compared to the first one.

Most of the shots we featured in our guestbooks came from this shoot. We didn't imagine it to be so magical but it really was:

And as promised by RF, he captured the essence of our relationship in our moment shots. It makes us happy when our photographers like Zye are excited for us. It pumps us to smile more and be natural.

During the wedding, the gloomy weather dampened our hopes for a shot outside the Sofitel premises. But still, they were able to deliver beyond our imaginations and captured our important day so wonderfully. I know you're just reading adjectives but here are results of that shoot.

A lot of photographers can create jaw-dropping images. But we think that RF's team delivers more than a photo service. They offer something we don't see in their package features. Outside the Lumens, unlimited shots, processed images, AVP fusion, RF offers COMFORT. It's an immeasurable feature that cannot be priced.

We're happy with Raymond Fortun and his awesome team. They gave us something that we can really look at years from now be proud of it.

As an aside, we decided to book RF and Zye to do an outside shoot in Sofitel using our wedding attires. We felt our attires in Sofitel's setting needed a closure from our prenup session in the Cobonpue pieces.... That, or we are just so excited to work with them as soon as possible.
