{Preview} Odeck + Steph: Love is never late

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no
It's just the nearness of you
~Nearness of You

Gerard took care of the details and most of the candid shots. I love how he framed Odeck & Steph on the right image. Thanks Gerard for these and for shooting with me. :)
I love how Steph pose in front of the camera. She's a natural! Odeck on the other hand is a tad shy, but after a few shots and a little "paglalambing" from Steph, he became comfortable too ;)

More of Odeck & Steph's photos coming soon!

{Engagement} Ronald + Czarina: Love is sweet

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers eyes. Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall and a preserving sweet.
~William Sharekspeare







Ynah and Rons having a good laugh! I love candids!


Don't you just looooveee smiling balloon? :) I do!

Capping off the shoot with some real good sweetness! :) Picnic time!
Rons and Ynah's love came like a wave. Strong, raging and unstoppable. I myself almost drown when I received an SMS from Rons saying they're getting married. SOON. And that he needs me to cover their pre-wedding shoot and their BIG day. You see, they were only together for 3 months, but here they are preparing to tie the knot and readying themselves for "till death do us part". It made me glad because finally, Rons (a former office mate in the PH) found THE girl after waiting for 30+ years.

I've personally known Rons as a good brother. I witnessed how he prepared for his sister's graduation and other school-related-activities, how he provided for his family, how he got so excited over the approval of his folks and sister's petition papers, and how he gave unselfishly for his loved ones. Now that he's now starting to have a family of his own, I'm sure that he'll be a good provider and a loving dad.

To Rons and Ynah, thanks so much for the opportunity to document your most amazing moments together. I pray that your marriage will be seasoned with lots of patience, trust, fun and sweetness. :)

{Engagement} Adrian + Peachy: Lovers in Christmassy Singapore

It (Love) always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:7

The above Bible passage is I think one of the best verse that I could use to describe the love between Adrian and Peachy. They've been together now for more than 10 years! Talk about perseverance, huh?

Just to give you a lil bit of history, their relationship started out back when they we're in college (2nd year, to be exact), grew stronger when they started working, and matured when they moved here in Singapore. But just like any other love stories, theirs is not perfect. They wouldn't endure that 10 long years of togetherness without the testing of their faith, commitment and patience. They faced boulders and mountains of trials, but with the help from God and friends, they were able to surpass them. And it's such a joy to know that they're now ending their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and move up to a deeper, more mature one - Marriage, as husband and wife.

And here's the proofs of their unbreakable love.

Oh, more of their happy and wacky moments on my flickr.

I also want to (shamelessly) plug my Facebook page here. If you still haven't clicked that like button yet, well hhmmm, now is your chance! That would be the best gift you could give me this Christmas.

It is more blessed to give

"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" Acts 20:35 (Paul)



Today, I am very blessed to be a part of a group of volunteers who visited and shared a part of themselves to the residents of RCHD (Red Cross Home for the Disabled). It was indeed a very fulfilling day for everyone.

I was reminded that life has been good to me, and that I need to be more thankful for all the blessings I have received and for those that are still coming.

I miss

Flickr, friends I met through Flickr, random and spontaneous photo walks, chit chats and laughter over affordable yet delish foods.

Hello, let's go out sometime. :)

Speaking of Flickr, here's a photo taken exactly 1 year ago. I am thinking of taking a photo and posting a similar one just to remind myself that 1. I have a (renewed) Flickr account, 2. I need to do a photowalk or else i'll go insane. *kidding* (seriously, this is one of the things I miss doing. Message me if you're keen on joining), 3. It's the 1st day of December, and it smells and feels a lot like Christmas!


Forgive me, I'm a little nostalgic today.

Are you excited for the coming holidays? I sure am! :)

{Preview} Adrian + Peachy: Lovers in Christmas-sy Singapore

Kuya Adrian & Ate Peach are tying the knot on the 20th of December. They chose to have their pre-wedding photos taken on the busiest and most colorful place in Singapore - Orchard road. It was a day full of surprises, (for me at least, as my phone didn't alarm on the set time (and i was laaatteee). or was it just me who unconsciously turned it off? idk, it's still a mystery up to now hehe) friends, fun and laughter. I was shooting with other friends and it made the couple more relaxed :)

To my wonderful Kuya A and Ate P, thanks for believing in us. ;) It sure was an honor to capture your wacky and fun moments :)



Stay tuned for more photos from this shoot.
