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…

Finding Center
Last night, we decided to carve out time to date. Half an hour into our movie, I could hear Corwin coughing upstairs. It’s just his allergies/asthma, but considering the circumstances, it was causing me great distress. I ran back up three times to check up on him, and on the third time, Jeff followed me…

Benedict and Rita’s Tagaytay Wedding
This day started out with an extraordinary amount of fog, which made me a bit giddy, because while it’s terribly inconvenient not to see more than a few meters ahead of you, it’s also quite romantic. No distractions, with everything else literally fading into nothingness, and all that you have is just what is right…

Joey and Lavina’s Wedding
Stretching the summer feels just a wee bit longer with Joey and Lavina’s wedding from a couple of weeks ago. It was scorching hot that day, but you wouldn’t even think it by how happy and upbeat everyone was at this wedding. The mood was easy and lighthearted, and we got to have fun outdoors.…

Mark & Kristine’s Tagaytay Wedding
They exchanged their vows under a tree canopy, in a garden overlooking Taal lake. I’m completely in love with this scenario. Outdoor weddings are incredibly romantic. It can get pretty hot in the Philippines, sure, but when you see all that gorgeous light and lush greenery (or sea and sand), it’s all worth it. And…

Arthur & Tina’s El Nido Wedding
We shot Arthur and Tina’s Spring engagement session in Tokyo, Japan last year, and had a blast with these guys, so we’ve been looking forward to this El Nido wedding for quite some time. It was off-the-charts amazing. First of all, hi, Palawan. Second, STAR WARS WEDDING. Loved the limited edition Princess Leia boots, the…

Benny & Noey’s Wedding
“A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.” — Annie Leibovitz From the very beginning, Jeff and I have always felt this to be true. It really is about finding things about our couples to fall in love with. This was easy…

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…

Dom and Joyce’s Wedding
“And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.” ― The Chaos of Stars / Dom and Joyce were surrounded by overflowing love from family and friends last Saturday. Jeff and I love shooting beautiful details, and there were plenty…

Michael and Mita’s Wedding
Chicago-based doctors Michael and Mita tied the knot a second time here in Manila. Between their busy work schedule and planning a destination wedding, they had their hands full on their first year of marriage. But they make a great team and complement each other so well that they took it all in stride. It…
