    Randel and Lee – “In Your Presence”

    “Love is being anywhere in the world as long as I am with you, because in your presence I am content.” I don’t know where I picked up that line, but I have been wishing that for myself and for my couples ever since, a relationship where they are content. I know these things are easier said than done, but tell me what is it that comes easy that is worth keeping nowadays? We travel to nearby Tagaytay Highlands for our first set where we took things slow and easy, allowing each to get the hang of being in front of the camera. With friends along, the atmosphere was light…

    Davy and Valerie – Love that Moves

    It’s a love story that sends the warmest fuzzies down my spine. Two friends whom we thought would make a good match actually became a good match, good is an understatement, great would be the right term. But while we made the match, it is them who made it work. Davy persistently asked for that first meet, and told Valerie he would only want 15 minutes of her time, it was all the time he needed to make that connection. After that Val had to go back to HK where she lived, to which Davy booked 3 round trip tickets to Hong Kong on the spot and that impressed her.…

    Jed and Lalaine Prenup – Through the Journey

    Every day we each take a new step in our own lives, yet one day our paths will converge with another and it becomes a journey. When two individuals decide to take on a journey together, they realize that the problems will still be the same but the weight of it is halved, the victories will require the same hard work but the celebrations multiplied. The economy of a relationship is way different from the ones we learn in school. “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deutronomy 31:8 I…

    Marc and Jen – Love on a Sunny Day

    This was the one prenup that we had to reschedule because of typhoon Lando, and I’m glad we did. Although we really don’t have full control of the weather, we were thankful that the weather was perfect during the day of the prenup, sun shining down through the trees created such beautiful light. Recently they just tied the knot and are enjoying wedding bliss, so I guess it’s also good time to show some shots of the prenup. Enjoy and have a nice sunny day! Hair and Make Up by Angel Salian I also shared our experience during the morning where we had to decide whether to reschedule the shoot…

    Kelly and Gigi – The Henry Hotel Prenup

    I was so excited when Kelly called me up asking for a time to meet regarding my services, I’m always giddy when a batch mate is on his wedding preps journey and it was also a great time to catch up. Very happy too that he found a beautiful and loving partner in Gigi, because somehow deep inside I would wish for a fellow classmate to end up in a good marriage. Funny thing though they are sort of opposites, I’ve known Kelly as the quiet type during our high school days, and I found out during the shoot that Gigi is the kind of person who reaches out, so…

    Are You Rain Ready?

    Rainy days have always been a challenge when we shoot prenups outdoors, we have to take care of our couples, our gears and ourselves. A little rain won’t be much of a problem, but yesterday halfway through our shoot the sky really poured. There’s no denying the possibility of a little (or a lot of) bad weather these coming months, so here’s some tips if you really want to have your prenup in a park or in a field or anywhere else outdoors. 1. BRING UMBRELLAS, preferably a clear see through or a plain colored one, make it big so it covers the two of you. It offers the photographer…

    Stan and Jen – Anvaya Cove Prenup

    Love asks you to take it seriously, but at the same time, it also asks you to take it easy, too much drama can make the relationship stiff, taking away the fun that comes along with it. Insert a little bit of playfulness between the two of you, and it will be like a fertilizer that will make your love grow. Shot in Anvaya Cove, Subic
