    Eye on the Streets – Hong Kong

    There’s always this lingering decision I have to make whenever I travel. On one hand I’d like to enjoy the place and absorb as much with just my eyes (and stomach) and enjoy the people who I’m traveling with, on the other I’d really love to explore and observe the place with my camera on hand. But as early as arriving in the airport, something tells me it’s going to be a “camera on hand” trip, Hong Kong is a place meant to be photographed. The city vibrates with energy that comes at you in every direction. Everyone and everything seems to be moving, in a hurry. I take note…

    Kelvin and Tricia – Zambawood Love – Part 2

    The shade under the pine forest gave us respite from the wicked sun, and the gentle, albeit hot breeze is a welcome guest during the third set of Kelvin and Tricia’s engagement shoot. The scenery provided a wonderful backdrop until the sun decides to be a little kinder. When the sun reached it’s golden hour we started playing again at the beach, same time as the nearby fishermen were raising their nets to call it a day, and after the sun went down we decided to call it a day as well. We enjoy the twilight as we pack up and ready to go home. Hair and Make Up by:…

    Kelvin and Tricia – Zambawood Love – Part 1

    Rainy season has come, and I guess it will be trickier to do beach prenups these coming months. It’s still very hot though so I’m getting mixed feelings about the weather. Who’s up for a trip to the beach? I remember the prenup of Kelvin and Tricia in Zambawood a few months ago though. We went there mid-March but the heat felt like the peak of summer, it was hot! But even that couldn’t do much to bring our energy down. These two were a joy to be with. We were joined by Nelson Aguilar who did a wonderful job on Tricia’s hair and make up, and we were amazed…

    Gijs and Michelle – Encounter with Destiny

    It’s like traveling to different sides of the world when I go from Michelle’s room to Gij’s. But the energy and the reason for laughter is the same. Love ones and family make the day with their presence in their beautiful dresses and suits. But the best thing about it is they all have their smiles ready for the union of two that met in a chance encounter years ago, and decided to never let go, it’s the kind of love story that we all dream about. Find their love story, along with their engagement photos here: Michelle and Gijs – A Meteora Prewedding Gown: Patty Ang Reception: Gloria Maris,…

    The Manansala Family

    A quick family shoot in the simple home of the Manansala family, where everyone was so fun and in tuned with each other that they were so natural in front of the camera. You can basically tell who is the who of the family just by looking at the pics. While we only had a few minutes for the shoot, it was fun squeezing two quick sets before everyone is off to their daily routines. P.S. In this quick shoot I learned that there is such a thing as a football hold for fathers.

    JR and Cristina – Love in the Secret Place

    It is in love that you find such a place not bound by geography. Where anywhere is special as long as you are “With” each other. It is the comforting thought that no matter where you go, you know that at the end of the day, you can always run into the arms of your love and there you will always find rest.

    Pierre and Eunice – One Lovely Afternoon

    Imagine a lazy sunday afternoon, a comfy couch, a warm drink in hand and nothing to do but to just lounge beside your loving half. To those spectrum of the populace that enjoy this scenario, this may be the prewedding for you. Much like Eunice and Pierre, all they wanted was to enjoy each others company in that one corner of the house, yes, one set of the shoot was done in just one corner. No matter how simple their prewedding theme may be, their happy romance surfaces with every laughter and sigh, both of which makes me giddy. Enjoy this set, I hope it gives you that warm and…

    Marvin and Kim – Ronac Prewedding

    They seem to be the simple type, and their affections somewhat bashful. But I notice their hands always tend to meet halfway, and their smiles always in sync. It’s a love that is strong but doesn’t not scream for attention, the kind that occasionally shows itself to you… if it deems you worthy. I consider myself fortunate, blessed even, to see a bond that reminds me: Love is here, love is now. Make Up Artist: Yami Parungao II Venue: Ronac Art Center
