We only had one day to make this Bohol pre-wedding shoot happen. Two flights, twelve hours, and a tight schedule meant we had to be quick on our feet. We arrived around midday, and the sun was already intense, so we started in shaded spots where the light felt softer and more flattering. We found...
Sometimes a photo shoot becomes more than just capturing moments—it becomes about storytelling through place, light, and quiet connection. That’s how Renz and Janica’s pre-wedding session in Baguio felt. We started at Tudor House, tucked among the pine trees, where the glass and wood details gave us portraits that felt both elegant and cozy. From...
Pre-wedding photoshoots are all about creating something unique that truly reflects the couple’s story. Weinard and Michelle embraced this idea by skipping the usual tourist spots and taking their session to some of the city’s hidden treasures. These locations—carefully chosen to match their style—brought out something truly special. Hong Kong, with its stunning blend of...
This Hong Kong pre-wedding shoot was a breeze to photograph. I would always find Clark and Cossette laughing with each other; they were naturals in front of the camera and it seemed that I was just there to capture the moments. We simply spent the day wandering around, taking advantage of the vibrant atmosphere. Whenever...
For this set with Jarvis and Geline, we traveled before sunrise for a day in the city of Pattaya. Our first stop was an elephant sanctuary where we worked with these gentle giants. It was my first encounter with these magnificent creatures, and I must admit, words hardly do justice to the awe-inspiring moment. We...
When it comes to pre-wedding photoshoots, many couples often dream of exotic destinations like Paris or Santorini. But tucked away in the heart of Southeast Asia lies a gem that is often overlooked: Thailand. A couple of months ago, we had the privilege of embarking on a two-day shoot with Jarvis and Geline. This particular...
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...
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...

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...
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...
We’ve covered hundreds of weddings in the Philippines and we’re pretty familiar with the groove and flow of how they should go. The bride and the groom separately dress up, guests gather for the ceremony, and everyone gets to celebrate the night away at the reception. However, Noriko and Satoshi’s wedding was a bit different–a...
Improvisation was the name of the game during this very memorable Cambodia engagement session we did a couple of months ago. As photographers, we kid you not, we would do just about anything to take that perfect shot for our couples–and this one was definitely no exception. With all the suspense of getting caught, hiding, and...
It was a cold autumn morning when I took a coach from London for a 3-hour trip to the southern part of England. I have never been to this area but they say that it’s one of the most popular spots for tourists especially during the summer. When I arrived, it’s hard not to notice...
It was not our first time in Zamboanga. We were here a few years ago for a wedding but it has changed a lot since our last trip. Two years before Kevin and Lizzie’s day, the city went through one of its toughest challenges when it was sieged. After this event, we heard stories of...
