Supplier’s Rating: Ms. Thet Hernandez of RTJ Photography

I can remember it clearly as if it happened just yesterday: I was browsing our W@W e-group when a certain post caught my attention – a free backup photography service was being offered by a previous W@Wie, by the name of Ms. Thet Hernandez, who ventured into photography together with her husband. I composed an email and sent it with prayers. In a heartbeat, my prayer was answered by an email from Ms. Thet congratulating us for making it to the list. True enough, our wedding date was posted on their website.

{We made the list: RTJ Photography Service}

The communication between us continued in Facebook, rather casually. We never talked about the wedding until a week before when I was updating all our suppliers about the details et. al. Being friends in FB allowed me to realized that we have two common denominators – call center industry and the love for photography (not to mention our husbands are into photography, too so make it three! hehehe). She's a dedicated mother and wife AND a true blue "multi-tasker" (a call center terminology that pertains to someone who can do two or more tasks at the same time. In Ms. Thet's case, she can be a photographer while maintaining her call center job aside from being a mother and a wife).

We truly appreciate her presence on our wedding despite coming from a graveyard shift. I can only guess what she drunk that day as she was full of energy taking photos and interacting with my suppliers. It was also nerve-wracking to know that Mama Val (Villarin) was her HMUA when she got married in 2006. During my airbrush session, all we talked about are W@W and wedding.

Now, what about the photos you'll ask. We just received the DVD copies of the images today (Thank you, Ms. Thet) and we thought that the collection is superb and amazing. Here are some of our favorites:

{It's the best weather -- ever! Thank you Santa Clara for making it happen.}
