Lennard and Midge’s Tagaytay Wedding
Jeff and I met Midge over Skype and just fell in love with her. You can just feel her friendliness and warmth right away. Some people take some time to be comfortable with, and that’s fine, too. It’s part of our job to make people comfortable around us, and I like to think we do…

Sundays and Road Trips
I took some photos on a drive to Subic fairly recently. I needed to get away and clear my head then, so we hit the road. We drive south of Manila often, to Tagaytay and Batangas for work, so we went north this time. Back in college, Jeff would borrow his dad’s car and pick…

Nicco and Erica’s Tagaytay Wedding
We remember every single wedding we’ve ever shot. We can tell you our favorite photos from each one, what the weather was like that day, maybe some funny parts, small things about the couple that stood out, and the moments that touched us and/or made me cry. For people with admittedly very bad memory, I…

Photographs as Proof
I shared an old black and white photo on Instagram earlier, and it’s been at the back of my mind all day since. I first saw this photograph 2-3 years ago. My heart still breaks each time I see it. It’s by Duane Michals, taken back in 1974. Below it, he wrote: “This photograph is…

Kicking Off 2014
Wedding season has been nothing short of wonderful for me and Jeff. I’ve been on an incredible high through most of it, really. We hit the ground running this year, and we’re both so psyched and looking forward to the rest of it. I couldn’t let this month end without sharing a bit of what…

Carlo and Irene’s Wedding
It was love at first sight for Carlo the moment he laid eyes on Irene. Who could blame him, really. The first time Jeff and I met these two over coffee, I gushed and told Irene I found her so pretty. There’s a grace about her that draws people to her. And there’s no denying…

The Things You Love, The Things You Are, The Things You Never Want to Lose
“Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.” – The Wonder Years They say we remember the world in still images. And your life’s most important moments, you remember them this way, as photographs. This is something we’ve explored in…

Moving In
For the past five years, our office has always been our spare bedroom and the nearest Starbucks. We shoot weddings and engagement sessions on location, and have never had any need for a studio, so we always found it pointless to get a separate office. To be honest, I liked editing in my pajamas because,…

Firestarter
It’s been over a week already since The Firestarter Workshop, and I’m still at a loss for words. There’s just so much I want to say, I don’t know where to begin. Jeff and I are self-confessed introverts. We’re great at relating with clients because, well, that’s a big part of what we do. But…
