Paddy & Lori

Paddy and Lori are good friends with a couple whose wedding we shot last April. It's a funny story how Jamie and Bogs recommended our services to them but Paddy and Lori somehow wandered to another studio's office with a similar name. It took a while before they figured out the mix up and fortunately, was able to book us for their December wedding. It would have been a shame not to be able to shoot these two ;)

Anyway, we've been thinking of changing our trade name to "Mimi and Karl" and dropping the Fotogra Weddings altogether. What do you guys think?

    about the name change, sa w@w karl, everyone refers to you guys as mimi and karl talaga. minsan nga mimi and karl abesamis pa e haha!

  2. steph/September 24, 2007

    yup definitely change your trade name. bihira talaga tawag sa inyo fotogra. laging mimi & karl.

  3. AJ/September 25, 2007

    di naman siguro kayo mag-aaway sa billing no? mimi & karl or karl & mimi? hehe

    pwede rin mimi heart karl. mimi @ karl. mimi + karl.

    Hey Mimi and Karl!

    O nga, whenever i refer you guys to my friends..."mimi and karl" sinasabi ko! :)

    By the way, friend namin ni dickie si paddy! :) pasabi kinakamusta namin siya :)

  5. rhona + jets/September 25, 2007

    "mimi and karl" has a better recall! it readily has its impact (uhmm.. parang belo!). and we always refer to your names when we recommend you to friends or when we simply brag you to others. so, change it na?Ü

    can't wait to see you again! have yet to schedule a prenup! naku, baka wala na kaming slot sa napakabusy nyong sched. hmmmm... will contact you within the week. ;p

    mimi & karl abesamis... aheheehhe!!! panalo!! hahahaha... honga di naman nagagamit ung fotogra... :-" *i smell a new advertisment on BYP* ^_^ sabi nga ni steve, mimi&karl, karl&mimi.. ah watever you guys rock!! ;)

  7. kendz/September 25, 2007

    i vote mimi and karl :) mas may dating... para pwede m&k na din hahaha. parang m&m's e no? :)

  8. jen/September 25, 2007

    mas okay ata if you change it to "mimi & karl" na. when my girl friends and i exchange notes /ideas about wedding suppliers, mimi & karl talaga ang sinasabi namin. some of my friends don't even know na fotogra pala name ng company nyo. hehehe. :)

  9. bong/September 25, 2007

    karl and mimi! haha

  10. bong/September 25, 2007

    pero parang mas naaalala ko yung karmina abesamis e. hehe

  11. Neil&Rosa/September 25, 2007

    halu mimi and karl :) i agree - kilala talaga kayo as "mimi and karl" -so there you go!! :)

    now lang ulit ako nakapagcheck ng blog nyo - fantastic photos as usual esp of the UP pep squad! g'leng!!! :)

    lapit na kmi matapos mamili ng photo choices for the album - didn't realize it's this hard to decide-lahat kc gusto ko ilagay!

    more power mimi and karl!

  12. ate sel/September 25, 2007

    weird, nung isang araw lang naisip ko na sabihin sa inyo yung pangalan ninyo. pramis. people kept referring kasi sa inyo as "m&k"

    pero para kunwari merong business sense ang change in name, alam niyo ba na sa advertising (sabi sa marketing 101 namin) the letter with the most recall, kapag nag-iisip ka pa lang ng name, ay ang letter "k"? maganda daw pag mag "K" ang brand name...dont know though if it's true (think "Korina", "Kris", "Krispy Kreme")

  13. Luzel/September 26, 2007

    Halu Mimi & Karl! Fantastic last shot! Uuuy Mims, eto ba yung sa rooftop?

    I agree, drop the Fotogra part. Your names are much more distinctive :) I know of a "Photogra" company that does those Empire State Bldg souvenir photos (with the chiz background), hehe.

  14. krista_md/September 26, 2007

    Hey ms. mimi and sir karl :) I agree with the whole lot. whenever our friends ask who we got for photo for our wedding, I automatically say "Mimi and Karl"! we rarely refer to you as fotogra. great shot of the UP pep. this time, kami naman ni gerard pinaiyak nyo hahaha :D

    all the best!
    p.s. have you figured out a way to "raise" the clique booth for the vertically-blessed groom and his equally blessed friends?

  15. cj/September 27, 2007

    Mimi abesamis photography!!!! :) or Mimi and co. hehehe peace brother!

  16. Leah&Marvin/September 27, 2007

    Yup! kami rin we vote for "mimi&karl" love the sound..they are right..malakas ang dating! we often refer you as mimi&karl din with friends e...see you on prenup! :)

  17. mimi/September 27, 2007

    thanks everyone for your insights :) kami'y naliwanagan na... mimi & co na po kami hahaha :P

    @ AJ - tama yung huli ;)

    @ Irene - wow small world! Will do that... but Paddy went back to London, December na ulit sila babalik ni Lori hehe.

    @ Rhona - naku, pasked ka na, dali! Naubos na yung Oct slots so Nov na lang pwede.

    @ Bong - ang tagal na nun! :P Ako naalala ko si CJ... "Threelogy, Threelogy.." haha

    @ Ate Sel - e di dapat Karl & Karmina na lang pala? :D

    @ Luzel - yup, pero Ortigas skyline naman siya.

    @ Krista - minsan lang namin kayong mapaiyak, pagbigyan nyo na haha. Re cliquebooth, paupuin na lang natin sila hehe

    on Lori & Padi.. very beautiful couple
    on Prenup shots.. gorgeous photos
    on Mimi & Karl.. talented photographers..beautiful couple na rin!;)

  22. Rick/October 3, 2007

    mimi and karl is great :)

  23. markku/October 3, 2007

    I vote for Mimi & Karl! :) Then just use fotogra.ph for other photographic endeavors, or maybe use it for a pinoy web2.0 photography community, ala flickr? ;) Besides, fotogra.ph was a play on photogra.ph na hindi nakuha ni Karl, hehehe.

    Nice shooting, as usual. :)

  24. Ederic/October 3, 2007

    Oo nga, Mimi and Karl na. :)

    Asteeg pics na naman ng magagandang tao. :)

  25. Triccie P. Soler/October 9, 2007

    Mimi and Karl! Sayang talaga that my sister didn't discover you guys first before she booked her wedding photographer last year. Inis kami sa photographer niya, kasi sobrang sandali lang siya nagpakita to take some shots while we were at home pa, the rest his assistants did the work na, so nothing great ang photos sa church and reception. (hindi kasi nagpa-recommend sa akin eh). Irita!

    Anyways, Lori and Paddy are good friends of mine. I will look for photos of them together during our choir days, way before their "ligawan" stage! Hahaha! Who would've thought that these two would actually end up together! Send ko sa iyo, baka may maisip ka na namang gimmick. Hahaha! I loved the J&B shot of Jamie and Bogs. Jamie and Lori are my sister's batchmate kaya magkaka-kilala kami. I know you guys also did my friends' wedding, CJ and VJ!

    I'm excited na sa March 1, since you will be doing my cousin Rob's wedding (Rob & Hannah). See you!

  26. Bogs and Jamie/November 1, 2007

    hi mimi and karl!
    ya i think you should stick to mimi and karl to avoid any future mix-ups. hehe!!! i'm really so glad we got to clear it up because it would be a shame if they weren't able to book you!
    anyway, we will definitely see you in december! :) can't wait!!!
    btw, i looked at our pictures on your blog again! thank you for the nth time! brings back such beautiful memories! :)

  27. jammy/December 14, 2007
