love and death

A weekend before Valentines Day, I shoot two things that I'm not used to;

a wedding.....


Holding together the rings that will symbolize they're unending love for each other, these couple are now ready to enter the new stage of their life as inseparable individuals.



The crying bride is being turn over by her parents to his soon to be husband.



A crying father proudly looks at his newly wed daughter.


Their first kiss as husband and wife.



A kid looks at the pre-nuptial photos of the newly wed.


.......and a funeral.


The flag-draped coffin of ex Philippine military chief Angelo Reyes is brought to his final resting place at the Manila's Heroes' Cemetery on February 13, 2011 together with his family and members of the military.


Members of the Philippine military salutes as the pall bearers carry the remains of ex Philippine military chief Angelo Reyes to his final resting place in Manila's Heroes' Cemetery on February 13, 2011.Military officers,relatives and family grieve on the funeral of ex Philippine military chief Angelo Reyes as he is laid to rest at Manila's Heroes' Cemetery on February 13, 2011.


One of the sons of ex Philippine military chief Angelo Reyes grieves during his father's final resting place in Manila's Heroes' Cemetery last February 13, 2011.


This experience reminds me on how life passes by so quickly. One moment we are all crying tears of happiness because of our love to our special someone but in just a matter of a day these tears can turn out to sadness because of the death of our loved ones.How unpredictable and short our lives can be...
