Raymond and Genevieve – Tinghun at Crowne Plaza
It’s always a joy to cover a tinghun, from the simple preparations to the simple setups, it takes away a lot of the stress from the family to “make things perfect”. Sure there are traditions to follow, but being simpler than weddings, family members can focus more on helping each other, spend time chatting while eating, and whether they know it or not, more memorable moments are created. It’s how family celebrations should be. Cakes: Custom Cakes by Bam Hair and Make Up: Krystle Anne Bonus Venue: Crowne Plaza

Love in Action – a SIPAG initiative
Months ago I joined a medical outreach headed by SIPAG (Simula ng Pagasa) to the Dumagat Tribes in Sitio Apia, Barangay Calawis, an area relatively near, but difficult to access. With rough trails and rivers to cross, it presented a challenge to bring 400 medical volunteers and their equipment to the location and back. Danny, who leads the SIPAG initiative, has been interacting with the people of the Dumagat tribe for months and already, he sees that their medical needs are real, and SIPAG had to find ways to bridge that need. This problem led to an unusual collaboration between the team of Danny and the 4×4 enthusiasts led by…

Kris and Chams – Abagatan Ti Manila – Garden Wedding
Wedding Venue: Abagatan Ti Manila Venue Stylist: Michael Ruiz Bouquet: Michael Ruiz Coordinator: Bluefish Asia Make Up Artist: Jackie Majica Flores Videographer: AG Garza Wedding Films Since most of my content are photos, I’ll tell you some of what I heard on this wedding day. The breeze rustling the leaves of the trees and the pitter patter of the slight drizzle. Our bride Cham talking on the phone and calling the other person “Commander”, who I thought she was referring to Kris, but it was someone else who was actually a commander. Flipping of pages as Cham takes time for the Bible before her pictorial. The light and fun chatter…

Charles and Ilene – Only for You
Sometimes you have to make the decision to hold on to destiny, even if it will bring you through difficult seasons, that is how you know for yourself what love is. This I see in the eyes of Charles and Ilene as their eyes meet at the wedding aisle, and in the smiles and happy tears of their loved ones around them. This is a wedding that has been a delight to capture, one that overflows with happiness and teaches you to fall in love all over again.

FLY! Or At Least Try
It’s too high, I wonder if I can reach it. But I’ll jump anyway, I’d like catch it. I guess it’s time to fly! or at least try. Here comes the next throw, way off to the right. There goes my legs, running with might. I guess it’s time to fly! or at least try. My friends run beside, eyes on the prize. They all run fast, I’ll do likewise. I guess it’s time to fly! or at least try. It’s getting dark, still an hour to go. We’ll keep practicing, I know I know. Someday I’ll fly, yes, I’ll fly.

The Happy Art of Shibori
There is joy in making something beautiful, and there is also joy in finding it in the unplanned. That is what we found out when we attended Luisa’s Shibori workshop when she held it in QC. With an intimate setting and relaxed sunday atmosphere, participants are taught to experiment and explore this craft, and also get a chance to bring life to their old clothes. Shibori is a Japanese art of dyeing wherein you control (sort of) where the dye goes by tying, binding, folding, etc. It sounds laborious until you get your hands into it, because the joy is in the process and the result is magic, which you’ll…

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:…
