Engagement Shoot

IMG_7585

One of the many wedding related activities we did during my last vacation was our engagement shoot. So on the dark, dim and showery afternoon of December 10 we headed off to Sofitel Manila to have our session with Ms. Pilar Tuason.

Out of all the pictures she took (a couple of hundred of them) we have to choose only 15 that she will be using for the wedding guestbook. These are the last 45 raw  we've picked from which we will choosing the final 15 from. Hirap pala, any suggestions?

I Didn't Realize Grey Shoes Were So Difficult to Find

Grey dress shoes, specifically wing tip oxfords, are like the proverbial needle in a hay stack. I didn't find any in any shop in Metro Manila. Not Bally, Zara, Cole Haan, nor Florsheim. Alberto and Pedro were of no use either.

But here in Doha, in a country were 99.9% of men preferred sandals over shoes, I found a pair exactly my size at Zara.  It was actually Yeng who found it oline and told me about it. So finally, just a little more than a month before the wedding...
Wedding Shoes

Probably the fact that men here prefer not to wear shoes helped. I guess grey sandals would be impossible to find here though.
