Metrophoto Captures The City of Smiles


The Masskara Festival in Bacolod, Philippines is one of the most iconic, biggest, and most electrifying fiestas in the country.

While most people think the word originated from the word mask, the word "MassKara" is actually a portmanteau of Filipino and Spanish words created by the late artist Ely Santiago which literally translates to a mass of faces. It's also considered a pun on the word "Mascara"--that Filipinos put on a mask of smiling faces during the Spanish colonisation.

The fiesta is a massive annual celebration with parades, street dances, a showcase of local food, and so much more. Every year the masks and celebrations change and evolve but it's always about the vivid colors and the local artistry.

To be able to pull off an engagement shoot in a fiesta of this size is quite unbelievable. Surely, only a rebellious couple would consider it. And Melissa and Wed are definitely of the rebel kind. 

No less than our very own Rebellious Bride Mica was part of the team that pulled-off this shoot as the bride's makeup artist. That alone is an indication that this Metrophoto shoot has RB written all over it. 

RB Mica Shares:
When I first knew about the Masskara prenup, I got excited! I already knew that it was going to be rebellious. This was C-R-A-Z-Y! We had to follow the moving parade during the shoot. It was very challenging but totally worth it.

Here Comes The Sun

Jervy Santiago for Visionary Photography Hub
Can't believe that it's summer already! And what better way to welcome the sunny season by featuring beautiful engagement sessions from all around the country! Take for example JR & Shiela's prenup shoot in the beautiful Bolinao. Be prepared to be amazed, folks. Sounds cheesy but when we see a set like this, it really does make you say that #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines indeed. 

 Mike Lavarez of Visionary Photography Hub shares:

 Young Pangasinenses Shiela & JR is a nature-loving couple who likes to keep things candid & laid-back. Our destination shoot with them at Bolinao was truly unforgettable as they took us to places with panoramic views & cultural scenery. We took advantage of the low-tide by shooting them against the vast shoreline in an all-white ensemble. Next up was at the mystifying underground “Enchanted” Cave & at the Cape Bolinao lighthouse where we capped off the day with a beautiful sunset shoot. One cannot simply leave Bolinao without visiting the rock formations of Patar; we wrapped up the shoot the following the day by doing a layout at this magnificent natural monument fronting the South China Sea.

Em + Eugene's Batanes Teaser

Because sometimes, all you need is the most beautiful place in the planet as your backdrop. No fuss whatsoever.

Batanes has got to be one of the most logistically difficult venues to have a wedding. But this rebellious couple pushed through with it anyway. And for that, we applaud them. #OneForTheBooks

#1forFUN Bridal Car Idea

Source: Facebook

Here's an idea inspired by the It's More Fun in the Philippines cabbies and double deckers roaming the streets of London! If you have a Pinoy-themed wedding, or simply just want to do your part in spreading positivity and love for the DOT's campaign, why not DIY a bridal car that has a "More Fun" angle---like "Mica & Marc--More Fun in the Philippines" or "Bridal Cars--More Fun in the Philippines" or whatever rocks your boat!

#1forFUN! :)

In less than an hour from now, the Philippines' Department of Tourism, headed by Mon Jimenez will be launching its newest tourism campaign. In the teasers leading to the campaign, they revealed that at the very core of this campaign will be US--we are the "digital warriors" of our own country--it is up to us to spread the word, and create our stories and that one thing is for sure---this campaign will be FUN!

Here in Rebellious Brides, we want to contribute in our own little way. After all, 50% of our readers are outside of the Philippines. So while the campaign is just about to be revealed, here's our own teaser for it. Hey you! Why not get married in the Philippines? In Rebellious Bunch - MangoRed's website alone, they were able to capture beautiful destinations around the country through various weddings. Here are just some of these awesome weddings!
