ARIEL JAVELOSA PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY

Gabriel 'Ariel' Javelosa started his career in 1988 in a humble studio in San Juan, Metro Manila. An office with a room that can fit less than five persons and hidden from view because of the talipapa (wet market) in front, St. John's Studio offered ID pictures and limited video coverage.

One year after, he opened another branch in Sta. Mesa, Manila. With a bigger space, his business was able to offer photo and video coverage for all occasions, weddings and debut in particular.

There was no stopping him from expanding and embedding his name in Philippine Wedding Photography. Five years of sheer hard work paid of for Mang Ariel, as he is fondly called by his peers. He opened another branch in Mandaluyong City, bearing the name Gabriel Javelosa Photography. The two shops delivered the best possible customer service it can offer.

During this time, Ariel and his team kept on expanding their knowledge in the field of photography and videography. Ariel Javelosa Photography became a member of several local and international photographers' association such as Wedding and Portrait Photographers of the Philippines (8 years), Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (4 years), and Wedding and Event Videographers Association International (2 years).

In November 2005, he closed down all three branches and, together with his colleagues in the business, opened his new office: a glamorous 4-storey 200sq. m. building in Barangka Drive, Mandaluyong City. His new office (http://www.kasal.com/html/rr/news/news20051108.html) has its own studio, editing room, photo album room, and workshop area.

Ariel Javelosa Photography handles an average of 900 wedding clientele a year, at any time and any location here in the country. Each client is assured to receive the 'Ariel Javelosa touch' in their photographs through the standards set by Ariel and has implemented over the years. The company sincerely values the needs and wants of its clients, making sure that the photos they see and the service they receive are beyond their expectations.
