Gijo and Bea’s Wedding
Dear couples, of all the things you have to worry about on your wedding day, exchanging gifts shouldn’t be one of them. We get asked this often, if it’s necessary and what to give. It’s not! If you have to, a heartfelt handwritten letter is more than enough. I don’t know how this became a…

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.…

Clayton and Steffi’s Tagaytay Wedding
It was a lovely, chilly day in Tagaytay when these two got married. The memory makes me happy as I recall it from this week’s 41° Celsius in Manila. Steffi is an event stylist and product photographer. We shoot our hearts out at every wedding, but there’s just a tiny bit more pressure each time…

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…

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…

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…

Ryan and Katrina’s Wedding
This gorgeous couple met on an online dating app called OKCupid. Katrina cancelled their first date, but Ryan asked again. Funny how fate and persistence go hand in hand. Within the first few months of dating, they went clay shooting, skydiving, rode on a hot air balloon, and Ryan taught Katrina how to ride a…

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…

Jericson and Sharlene’s Wedding
If you had a hard time finding a good drink last Saturday night, it’s because all the awesome bartenders were serving them at this wedding. Jericson is one of the men behind The Curator, this hipster third wave coffee shop slash speakeasy, named one of Asia’s 50 best bars. I think my favorite part of…
