Kebo Designs
Shot for: Keith A Brown Designs Location: DREAM Headquarters – DHQ Studio Make up by: Keyt Gaudier It was a chance meet up while I was doing an editorial shoot in a hotel in Manila, Kebo was just chillin’ at the hotel lobby with his camera on the table. I just complimented his camera, then without warning I got overwhelmed with his tidal wave of enthusiasm! The last thing I expected to hear from him though was that he is a fashion designer (among many other things). Pretty cool if you ask me. So when I heard that he was planning to visit here again I asked him to bring…

Michael and Edelyn – A Promise to You
I don’t know what the statistics are but I find it quite rare for those civilly married for a number of years to still push through with a church wedding. But for Michael and Edelyn, they made a promise to each other that they will one day have their walk down the aisle, make their promise again to each other, this time in the house of God. But they’re not just gonna have that, what a way to get excited for the wedding but to have a prenup as well, which is what they did! Along with their wonderful kids they come in full force for a day of fun…

It’s A Good Day to be Beautiful – Caryll Predebut
Just turned 18, Caryll is such a confident lady that’s ready to take on the world. But then as I take a more in depth look, and I see a set of parents who patiently and lovingly taught her well. However, you don’t need to wait till you’re 18 to start to glo up as a person. When you know that there is a God above you, watching over you, taking care of you, knows you inside out and even so, loves you, everyday is a good day to be beautiful. Let no one tell you otherwise.

Hands of Surrender
At the beginning of every year, the church I attend to sets aside a week devoted to prayer and fasting. Whether it is for the self, or others, or for the country, it is said to be wise to put first things first, a heart that is right with God. On some of these days I take time to shoot. Finding scenes of fervent prayer inspires me. I did notice quite an amount of hands in my focus this year, and as much as I try to avoid it, it seems that the somehow the hands communicate what words cannot express, or choose not to. Looking at this set, I…

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…
