  • Wedding Essentials

    Wedding Essentials

    Wedding Essentials is one of my favorite local magazines. They published their first issue back when Jeff and I were planning our own wedding, so I have every. single. issue. I’ve kept them all and they have survived a total of three moves and a toddler (so far). We’ve been featured again on their latest…

  • Long Overdue

    Long Overdue

    There’s a box full of long, handwritten letters and printed out emails that I’ve been keeping for a long time now. So much of us was built on those first months when all we had were words. That was fifteen years and half my life ago. He told me recently that he’s always writing to…

  • John and Melissa’s Wedding

    John and Melissa’s Wedding

    I will always remember Melissa as the bride who teared up when I replied to her inquiry to say we were available for her wedding date. She also emailed me a few months later and very gently asked me to blog. Hahahaha. I am an inconsistent blogger, we all know this by now. She said…

    Ever After on Firestarter: Chips and Fozzy

    I’ve written about what happened at Firestarter already. Now I’m going to share about our shoot on the second day. The lovely dress that everyone’s been raving about was designed by Veluz.

    [audio:http://www.jeffandlisaphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/03-Holocene.mp3] The thing about preparing for a workshop is it really makes you scrutinize every last bit of what you do yourself. We’ve been doing a lot of looking back and self-evaluating these past few days. All the reminiscing made me miss blogging here with an ache. I used to blog here way, way more…

  • The Firestarter Workshop

    The Firestarter Workshop

    Jeff and I have been considering holding a workshop for about a year now, and last week, everything fell into place, starting with a few texts to Dylan of Vatel Manila and Facebook messages with Veluz. There may or may not have been shrieking involved on my part, I cannot confirm this. Haha. And with…

  • Life on Instagram

    Life on Instagram

    Jeff and I worked on a personal project called Portraits of a Marriage back in 2007, as I mentioned last year. It was a photoblog of diptychs of our daily married life. I’ve always wanted to pick it up again and continue, but we just never found the time. We’ve recently become active on Instagram…

    Aries and Rinka’s Japan Engagement Shoot

    Jeff and I looked forward to Aries and Rinka’s engagement session in Japan for months. We had plans to shoot in Kyoto and spent a lot of time looking at different locations online. We were hoping for cherry blossoms, but it proved to be just too early still. The engagement shoot was a day before…
