why are we happy?



Rochelle & Gilbert - Lucena City PH

Our first client in the Philippines, after 6 long years of being busy with weddings in the states, now here is my beloved hometown again. Yes I must admit our country is poor but definitely not sad. I chose to shoot this couples engagement in a not so "elegant" location. I want people to see what is the reality, not the tall buildings in our commercial district, not the air conditioned shopping malls, but the real people, the real Pilipinas instead. I am so amused how happy the kids are whenever they see a camera, smiles that are priceless, smiles that no toys can give them.

aesthetics on wedding



Natalie & Paul - Jersey City NJ

Why is the brides veil flying? I really cannot remember if this is a set-up (someone throw it on the air) or the wind blew her veil. But nonetheless it looks sweet. We always tell the couple if they have time to shoot outside so we can have an outdoor photos, this one in Liberty State Park, sun is setting down, all lovely photos. Lets do it again !!!
