It’s been discovered that what makes the experience of listening to music enjoyable is anticipation. Our brains figure out the pattern of the song, and a rush of dopamine hits the pleasure center of our brain just before the refrain. The same thing happens when we ride a rollercoaster: it’s the split-second of stillness before...
When Elise got in touch with me for their pre-wedding shoot, we only had less than a month to plan. Syncing our schedule with theirs was one of the challenging parts during but thankfully, everything fell into place and we were able to have three shooting days with them. Our first day was the longest...
Being pregnant is not at all easy and we applaud all the women who go through months of carrying their child. Whenever we have maternity sessions, it’s not just about capturing this important moment in their lives. We also make sure to highlight their beauty and on how they look fashionably elegant with their clothes....
A Ting Hun is just one of the traditions that we encounter with Chinese weddings. For some, it is just as important as a wedding and that’s why we capture it similarly—complete with portraits and family photos before the event. It also has a series of parts but to put it simply, it’s like the...
Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia and it’s always compared to its rival city, Sydney. I’ve been to both and I must say that the two are great in their own right. While Sydney has the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, Melbourne has its coffee shops, laneways, and street art. Almost each corner...

Booking a wedding photographer is not just about having someone to take your photos. Most of the time, it’s about trusting an artist on how they would execute their vision. Having total creative freedom is one of the best things about our couple, Jason and Koo. Although we would always ask them if they have...

GB had taken the ring out of his pocket while Coreen was looking away, still laughing about a Notting Hill comment that he made a few seconds ago. When she looked back at him, he had the ring out and all noise fell away. So much so that GB had to ask what Coreen’s answer...
Opportunity is a gift to the lucky and the persistent ones—for Yan and Joanna’s two day engagement shoot, one of the sites that we visited was the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. It was packed with tourists and we almost lost hope on taking a proper set of photos there. We waited and walked further until we...
Kate is a makeup artist and about six years ago, I met her on one of the first few weddings that I captured. Let’s say that she literally saw us grow from just trying to make it in the industry to the spot that we are in now. When I learned that she was pregnant,...
There’s something very special in getting lost and shooting an engagement session in the Land of the Rising Sun. It is known for its calmness and serenity, so we upped the ante by escaping from all the buzz in the city. We decided to visit the quiet old town of Kawagoe. However, we really didn’t...
Our ultimate goal is to make every shoot a unique and memorable one, both for us and most especially for our couples–even if that entails us to climb up structures, bend like crazy, lay on the floor just to get that shot, we will do so. We are committed and determined because after all, it’s...
The thing about love (and we are talking about all kinds of love) is that, we all wish for it, we all want it. We all search for love because at the end of the day, I think we can all agree that it’s the greatest gift we can give, and ultimately, the one and...
