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.
