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.

When Elise got in touch with me for their pre-wedding shoot, we only had less than a month to plan.

Our first day was the longest...

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...
