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…

Alvin and Melissa’s Engagement Shoot — Basco, Batanes
There is a wildness to Batanes that grabs you at a visceral level. The utter remoteness of the island, the crunch of the earth and the mountains at your feet, the crashing waves and open sea. You are all at once reminded of the vastness of the universe and how our lives are merely tiny…

Mauricio and Irina’s Coron Wedding
8.18.18. Coron, Palawan. Jeff and I shot this wedding on our own, just the two of us, after having planned to go as a team of 4 for so long. I had to make a Same Day Edit slideshow, too, which means we would need to be at least a team of 3 to do…

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…

Brylle and Abby’s Day After Shoot — Kawazu, Japan
This was our first time at Kawazu, this sleepy little town where the cherry blossoms come early and time stands still. Sakura is fleeting and can turn full bloom and fall off in a matter of days. Here, it lingers for weeks. Cherry trees line the river, and if you let it lead you, you’ll…

Raffy and Nicole + Anna | Tokyo, Japan
It remains one of our favorite things, being able to see our couples grow from engagement to wedding to married bliss, and becoming little families of their own. Over IG and FB, we get to share in this joy over these precious first weeks and months of finding their footing as a new family of…

Neil and Tegan + Ibby and Edward — Sydney, Australia
And now they’re a family of four. We’ve shot Neil and Tegan’s engagement shoot and wedding in Manila, and their family portraits in Sydney when Tegan was still pregnant with Edward. A few weeks ago, we finally got to meet the little guy. This family has an endless supply of adorable, it’s unbelievable. Baby Edward…

Jeffrey and Regina’s Tagaytay Wedding
When you know she’s the one, you fly off and follow her to another country where she’s pursuing further studies. Well, that was what Jeffrey did. And he married her last Sunday. Regina is incredibly beautiful, but it’s the way she smiles so genuinely and openly that lights up every single room she’s in. And…

Ben and Kate’s Batanes Wedding
This wedding is the perfect example of a wedding being so much more than the weather and the place, no matter how dreadful or breathtaking. Ben and Kate’s wedding was amazing because of Ben and Kate. The day before their wedding, the plane carrying their suppliers and some relatives and friends circled Batanes and couldn’t…
