We started at the crack of dawn at Treasure Mountain where we were hoping to catch those dreamy sea of clouds. We didn’t quite get them, but man, did we still manage to capture some stunning shots. I’ll never forget the sight of Karl and Dei owning those cliffs, with the stunning Rizal mountains serving...
I recently had the privilege of capturing one of the most stunning Tinghun ceremonies I’ve ever witnessed. I’ve seen my fair share of these beautiful Chinese engagements, but this one truly took the cake when it came to jaw-dropping colors and intricate details.

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...
Nestled amidst a lush landscape, Rancho Bernardo provided a dreamy backdrop that spoke volumes of romance and sophistication. But for me, it was the magic of a nearby hill, overlooking a landscape of the sea and mountains, that stole the show. Working with nature can be challenging at times but it favored us for this...
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...
Bryan and Irene’s Tinghun was a remarkable celebration of love, filled with whimsical touches and heartfelt laughter.

Inspiration can come from anywhere. And for Arny’s maternity shoot, we imagined her in the Renaissance period. It was a time of great rediscovery of art and with that in mind, it was an opportunity to try something different. With a certain concept in mind, every detail must come together. The makeup and hair need...
What if your happily ever after was someone you already saw every day? Jeremy and Ann practically grew up side by side. From pre-school, elementary, high school, until college, they never got together, but nor were they ever far apart. But destiny would soon have its say. All it took was a moment of spontaneity,...
Travel themed pre-wedding shoots would usually just have some vintage luggages on some random location. It’s one of the most overused ideas out there mainly because it’s quite easy to pull off. But for Glenn and Carla, they elevated the concept by covering all forms of travel in style. From a striking cobalt blue Maserati...
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.

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...
