Hansel & Joy’s Wedding
Hansel and Joy make a disarmingly handsome and charming couple. They’re fun, but also chill and low-key. And really, it’s impossible to see how they are together and not be giddy with, well, joy. (Couldn’t resist! Haha. The name is incredibly fitting.) I love delicate lace bridal robes and all, but if you show up…

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…

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…

The Folkman Fam
I’ve been following Amber of @amommabroad on Instagram for over two years now. She blogs on A Momma Abroad as well, and probably knows Manila better than most of us locals do. I’ve been seeing her IG updates for so long that I kind of felt like I already knew her going in. I knew…

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…

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…

Brylle and Abby’s Wedding
Abby was not allowed to have a boyfriend before she graduated college. She asked Brylle if he could wait. He waited. A few years down the line, he moved to Singapore for work and asked her to move there with him. She chose to stay in Manila because her work was here, and she had…
