Welcome back, me.
It’s been…a while. I have been gone from posting anything in here. Or Instagram. Or Facebook for that matter. But it’s for a good reason, at least for my own mental health. As it turns out, I happen to enjoy…..wait for it…..gardening. Gardening! Who knew? I didn’t. But now that I’ve found myself loving it, I’m going all in. You see, I grew up in the Philippines where we only had two seasons. Summer and Monsoon. Over there, just dig a hole, plop a plant and voila! It will grow. Here in Canada, not so much. There are so many more considerations to factor. My early forays into gardening had…

Style: 3 Looks with Black and White Prints
If you ever find me out and about — which have been pretty rare nowadays since the pandemic — I’m either wearing colourful pieces of clothing or just in my activewear. But sometimes, I do appreciate the elegance of black and white pieces. The thing with me and black and whites is that they are simple enough to style, but I find it stressful to wear in real life. At least in my life. With two husky mixes at home, I’ll have to be constantly preening myself off their fur on my darker clothes, unless the fabric is something slippery like satin. And when I wear white, I’d have to…

Wedding At The Bellvue Manor | Danielle and Cosimo
“Normality is a paved road. It is comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.” — Vincent Van Gogh I admit. For wedding photographers, sometimes it’s better to just go with the least complicated plan to get through portrait sessions at weddings. Find a shaded area, preferably in a quiet spot, away from people other than the wedding party. Easier to compose without having to worry about cloning random heads sticking out in the bushes in the background. Use the same tried and trusted poses over and over (and over) again. It is repetitive, yes. But it does the job especially when time works against your favour. When you…

Pearle Weddings : Whistle Bear Golf Club | Shannon and Tom
“Tell me a story about Tom,” I asked his brother, who also happened to be one of his groomsmen. I had them all posed as I would a typical wedding party. There’s usually one outgoing person among them, and they’re the ones I rely on to make break the ice and get everyone comfortable in front of the camera. Complete with hand gestures, he replied, “Hey guys, remember when Tom dropped the ring?” Who wouldn’t laugh to that? Shannon and Tom’s ring exchange earlier that afternoon was an entertaining one indeed. When Tom tried to put the wedding band on Shannon, it slipped from his fingers somehow. What happened next…

Engagement Session in The Woods | Racheal and Reid
They met in South Korea. Racheal was an English teacher there when Reid came to visit his friend, who also happened to be a friend of hers. The first time Racheal saw Reid, she realised she was in trouble. For someone who felt that marriage was not in her stars, the universe certainly threw her a curve ball. Something about this American boy charmed her. Reid’s short visit in South Korea was just the start. They kept in touch and developed a long distance relationship. Eventually, Reid decided to move to Canada to be with Racheal. And the rest is….well, you know how it goes. I am featuring them in…
