Mantaring and Alaniz Family Shoot at El Nido, Palawan
Jeff and I kicked off 2023 with the Mantaring and Alaniz families at Miniloc Island at El Nido Resorts, Palawan. We’ve shot Arthur and Tina’s engagement session in Tokyo and their wedding in El Nido. We also covered Gijo and Bea’s Manila wedding a few years back. Gijo and Tina are siblings, and Bea is…

Matt & Chesca’s Boracay Wedding
Of chance encounters. Matt and Chesca met at a music festival. Matt came up to her and asked if she could see from down there, Chesca being petite. She in fact couldn’t, and a quick hoist up Matt’s shoulders took care of that. Jeff and I have been talking about life paths this year. Albert…

Francis and Maui’s Wedding
We see the world in images and words. Stories. Photographs should be able to speak for themselves, but when you have the right words too, embrace them. Own them. They allow for more depth, nuance, and gravity. There is nothing I can say that will come close to this though, so these words I share…

Jeff and I love shooting beautiful details, and there were plenty…

Kendrick and Nissan’s Engagement Shoot
This was a fun afternoon spent at Antipolo Beehouse. We love how Ken and Nissan can go from silly to romantic in a hot second. There’s an ease and comfort to couples who have been together for a long time. They fall into place easily with each other, as if their limbs have known forever…
