Keeping it cool and classy, we went with an all-white vibe that looked killer against the lush greenery. From the get-go, it was clear these two were made for each other—their laughter echoed through the woods, making the whole shoot feel like a breeze. As we eased into the shoot, it was impossible not to...
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...
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,...

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...
For some, it’s as simple as a space in their home while for others, it’s a hideaway tucked in some quiet distant town. It is that place to de-stress and unwind, away from the noise and congestion in the city. People call it their happy place and for Tyron and Olga, it’s Baler. We actually...
