Ryan and Sophie’s Wedding
There’s a chill, laid-back vibe to Ryan and Sophie that we appreciated. They didn’t obsess about the little details. They just wanted to get married and celebrate, and I loved that. I always tell our couples to let go of all their worries on the day and just enjoy themselves and be happy. These two…

Fiercely
I rarely write about marriage, or us as a couple. It happens maybe once every couple of years, when the urge bubbles up and I can’t contain myself. I write to and about our son often. Corwin is 4 years old and won’t remember most of these things yet, so I feel this urgent need…

Daniel and Gerlinde’s Iloilo Wedding
Daniel and Gerlinde’s wedding was our second in Iloilo this year, a place we always associate with good food and gentle people. This wedding was held outside of the city proper, in the small town of Tigbauan, at Gerlinde’s family’s beach resort. So much space to run around in! Everyone was so lively and cheeky…

Gravities
Jeff and I always teach that every artist needs to set aside time for personal projects. Even when it’s busy, even when you’re swamped, you owe it to yourself to do this, creating something for nobody else but yourself. This is what sustains you when the work gets hard, and there will be times that…

Karl and Pia’s Wedding
Lawyers Karl and Pia tied the knot in an elegant and chic city wedding. I fell in love with the lines of her Vania Romoff dress, the bouquet, the church, and how all the little details were put together. Everything in this wedding was just so them. Tons of photos to share, and two of…

John and Nicole’s Wedding
These two are, without a shred of a doubt, madly in love with each other. We saw it on their wedding day, and I’m feeling it all over again as I prepare their photos for this blog post. And I remember how good it felt to be doing what we do, with and for people…

Eight Years
Jeff & Lisa Photography turns eight years this month. In our wildest dreams as wide-eyed kids with the barest of equipment, we never imagined a better eight years. We fell in love with photography and decided that this was what we wanted to do for the rest of our lives. We were young, crazy, and…

Christopher and Heidi’s Amanpulo Wedding
There is a special place in our hearts for Amanpulo. It’s peaceful, serene, and the most beautiful private island resort we know. White sand, incredibly clear turquoise waters, and impeccable service. Nothing quite like it. When we read Christopher’s email last year, confirming that we were joining them for their wedding, my heart leapt in…

On Gratitude
I posted this on the Jeff & Lisa Facebook page over the weekend because it was a lovely unexpected message as my day was ending. Some of our former brides saw it, left comments, and made me cry. Made my entire month. If I don’t say it enough, I truly am thankful to be able…

Buko and Kitchie’s Wedding
Theirs was a stunning Modern Filipiana affair by the bay. The entourage bouquets by Vatel Manila, and the event styling by Dave Sandoval were both to die for, and Jason Magbanua‘s work on video was sublime, as always. OPM songs played during the reception, and I couldn’t help but groove along, which proved to be…
