Return to Eden


Paradise--the word to describe Shangri-la Boracay for its beauty set with nature. Just got back from a work/vacay trip to what can be called a five star experience.  The scene wa like an aztec structure fused with Polynesian/Asian design to create this wonderful garden of eden.  Shot a wedding fashion editorial against the breathtaking panoramic scenery that's almost picture perfect.  Was lucky that the weather was quite cooperative(considering its bipolar behavior in the weeks that passed) and the team was able to produce outstanding results.  Lush greens cover the 12.5 hectare property as they come together to hold hands with the sparkling sand and welcoming waves of the ocean.

Spectacular.


 
Shop til you drop.

Into the wood.

Faded hues.

Lounge act.

My favorite.
Coffee or tea?


All that's grand.

Natural flow.

Linear perspective.

Colossal.

The afternoon view from the lobby lounge.

Can you see the hanging chimes?

A study on symmetry.

To the horizon.

Dine by the poolside.

Shangri La Boracay's landmark.

Watchful eyes.

Face to face.

Unmasked.

Friends, Romans and countrymen, lend me your ears.

Arch of stone.

Fountain of youth.

Walk this way.


Museum worthy.

Wooden tablets on the wall.

Nestled at the tipping point of Boracay island, the luxurious haven transports you to a different world where one's seclusion and privacy truly matters.  If you're looking for a place away from the scene, Shangri-La Boracay perfectly tops the list. Majestic with an overwhelming grand allure,it is no doubt that the resort is one of the best in the Philippines and is truly world class. Watch out in the coming days for part 2 of this entry.

Real Luxury

Lucky to be having a bit of work at the moment  but with lots of fun at the Shangri-La Hotel in Boracay, Philippines.  Shooting for Metro Weddings and will be posting the BTS of the shoot in the coming days. Luxury is indeed more than a treat in this wonderful escape away from the city.  Aside from what's visible to the eye (the five star resort and the glorious appeal of nature at its finest), the real luxe is the special quality time spent with good friends in the moment. Sunset moment with cocktails and a lot of catching up...wished this day lasts forever.
