Twenty years of love, friendship, and the kind of magic that never fades.

Twenty years of love, friendship, and the kind of magic that never fades.

Most people don’t know this, but I’m actually ordained to officiate weddings too. Last week, I got to marry my friends Jason and Karen at San Francisco City Hall. I wasn’t planning to take any photos, but the building was too pretty to pass up. We wrapped up with a stop at the Palace of Fine Arts and yes, I hobbled my way through it with the boot. Totally worth it.

Caught in their own little world.

Didn’t have much time for portraits and the golfers next to us looked ready to take me out with a 9-iron. Still managed to grab some beautiful moments before the sun and my luck ran out.

Laura and Spencer were a dream. Chill, down for anything, and fully trusted the vision even when I hit ’em with some wild ideas. Shooting both their engagement and wedding felt like hanging out with friends who just happened to look amazing in front of the camera.

Honestly, getting to capture moments like these is a huge honor. It’s a big deal being trusted with someone’s memories and I don’t ever want to take that for granted. I feel lucky to be the one behind the lens.

The kind of love that makes everything around you fade away for a minute.

One of my favorite weddings from last year. Friends and family flew in from all over the world to be there for the newlyweds. They had karaoke during the reception which made it a classic Filipino wedding. Working weddings like these feel more like hanging out with old friends and less like work.

In December of 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Hong Kong for a week-long photography workshop hosted by two amazing photographers and educators, Scott Robert Lim and Zabrina Deng. This wasn’t just a trip for me, it was a chance to do something I’ve always wanted to do: create a highlight film that captures the energy, emotion, and story behind one of my international photography adventures.

When I mentioned the idea to Scott and Zabrina, they were immediately on board. With their support, I set out to create a documentary-style film that not only showcases the visuals of Hong Kong, but also dives deeper into why this city was chosen, how the workshop came together, and what the experience meant to the people involved.

I also sat down with the other attendees to hear about their experience, what drew them to this workshop, and how it impacted them both creatively and personally. This project became more than just a video; it became a collective story, told through interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and of course, stunning visuals from the vibrant streets of Hong Kong.

I hope this highlight film gives you a glimpse into the heart of the workshop, the soul of Hong Kong, and the incredible people behind the lens.

Thanks for watching.

I love shooting the authentic moments at receptions, spontaneous dances, bouquet tosses, and meaningful toasts that make every couple’s big day unique.

They wanted their shoot to feel like a scene from a movie, romantic, cinematic, and larger than life.
‌
I really love working with couples like this. Every detail was intentional and it was so rewarding to help bring their vision to life.

Pro tip: If you’re not laughing and soaked in the ocean by sunset, are you even living your best beach engagement shoot?

Working with these two was such a fun time. Their energy was contagious, their laughter was constant, and they were all in for every moment.

Some of my favorite moments to shoot at a wedding are candids during open dancing. All the events have finished and the bride and groom can finally let loose and enjoy the night with their guests.
‌
Also, by this time I’ve already had my vendor meal (usually) and a slice of cake (if I’m lucky).

Staring into the future hand in hand. Let’s capture the anticipation, the excitement, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.

A short edit from a wedding I filmed last year. The ceremony and venue took place at a private estate in NY. Shortly after we got there it started pouring rain! Good thing my cameras are weather sealed.

I have more wedding films booked this year than the last two years combined! (Granted they weren’t much to begin with lol) Will try to post more of them here.

Shooting all over Paris was an amazing experience. This was probably one of my favorite shoots. It was an incredible team effort to make this happen.
