The Inspire Initiative | Typhoon Haiyan Shoot for a Cause

About a month ago, the Visayas region of the Philippines was devastated by typhoon Haiyan, displacing millions of people from their homes and losing thousands of lives. Aid was quick to arrive especially from foreign countries but as Filipinos, a couple of wedding suppliers felt the need to still help. In these kind of situations,...

Hacienda Isabella Engagement Session | Jaime and Nadine

We were having a rainy afternoon when we had the engagement session of Jaime and Nadine. Prior to this, we talked a lot on how the engagement session will happen and the location fit for their personalities. These two are really laid back so I think we got the perfect venue for the pre wedding...

San Antonio de Padua, Tagaytay Wedding | Karlo and Paz

The south has become a famous spot for weddings in recent years with its colder climate and less congested roads. There are numerous wedding venues here but what caught the eye of Karlo and Paz is San Antonio de Padua. It took us quite a while to find the church since it’s not really along...

Makati Shangri-La, Holy Trinity Wedding | Wilbur and Gelaine

Most Chinese weddings would have fascinating traditions that make it more colorful. Before a wedding date is set, a Feng Shui expert is usually consulted for the auspicious dates.

Singapore Engagement Session | Jeff and Zyra

Today’s engagement session was part of a 10-day Singapore trip in which we shot eight couples in SG and one in Kuala Lumpur. After this trip, the Lion City has become a personal favorite for engagement sessions. It’s just one enormous place for photographers in which we’re not imposed with the same restrictions that we...

Santuario de San Antonio Wedding | Enrik and Debbie

Their shared fondness for traveling and going to the beach prompted them to have a water inspired concept. In retrospect, they initially planned to have a beach wedding but logistics would have been taxing. Easy solution and reasonable bargain: bring the sea to the city. By far, their reception has the most elaborate set up...

La Mesa Watershed, Manila Engagement Session | Kim and Ruth

When Kim and Ruth told me that our location is the La Mesa Watershed, I just expected a lot of grass and trees. But I was wrong. It has so much character with numerous spots to play with that a few hours would not be enough to cover everything. It’s just quite far from the...

Behind the Scenes of a Wedding | Weddings at Work

A wedding happens only once in a lifetime. That being said, the amount of time spent in planning and preparing for one day seems unimaginable.
