Erin + John ~ The Answer Is “Yes!”

April 12, 2018

Meet­ing Erin & John was a result of friends sup­port­ing each oth­er. In this case, Ian Liwanag (who is a pre­ferred DJ ven­dor at the Old Mill, Toron­to), had con­tact­ed me to inquire if I was avail­able for their wed­ding. After a Skype meet­ing with Erin, the rest was his­to­ry and I’m indebt­ed to Ian […]

Cinthia + Michael ~ The Answer Is “Yes!”

November 3, 2017

She was the maid-of-hon­our. He was the best-man. It was des­tined. The wed­ding I speak of was Jen­nifer & Josh’s about three years before Cinthia & Michael decid­ed to fol­low-suit. And it was soo hum­bling that they would reach out to me to cap­ture both their engage­ment and wed­ding. After a won­der­ful catch-up through Skype, […]

Catherine + Matthew ~ The Answer Is “Yes!”

October 19, 2017

We had chat­ted a lot about wed­dings, as Cather­ine got her cer­ti­fi­ca­tion in wed­ding plan­ning, and it was fun to talk about our expe­ri­ences of wed­dings we’ve been to. I actu­al­ly got to see her in action and work along­side her, as our mutu­al col­league and friend had hired her to make the wed­ding day […]

A Day in the Life of the Garde-Ginis Family

September 29, 2017

As I was shoot­ing Krys­tiana & Ben’s wed­ding, one of her rel­a­tives had approached me, ask­ing about pho­tog­ra­phy. If you know me by now, I can go on-and-on about pho­tog­ra­phy and it’s great to chat with some­one who has a pro­found inter­est in mak­ing great images. Hav­ing seen that inter­est, Krys­tiana and Ben had bought […]

N.C. + R.C. ~ The Answer Is Yes!

September 29, 2016

You got to hand it to moth­ers … (now that’s a strange way to begin a post about a cou­ple?!). But it’s true! If it had­n’t been for my cowork­er, Jacky, I would­n’t have got­ten the endorse­ment to pho­to­graph her daugh­ter’s wed­ding. So much so that she joined in Nik­ki and Ryan’s engage­ment session … […]

T.F. + D.B. ~ The Knot Is Tied!

November 6, 2014

On their engage­ment ses­sion, Tara found her “Leader of the pack…vroom! vrooom!” And with Dio­go, they were ready to jam into their wed­ded lives. So here’s how their wed­ding day played out. Tara was so calm and easy-going the morn­ing of, as she got her make-up done and got her beau­ti­ful wed­ding dress on. As […]

J.M. + S.P. ~ The Answer Is “Yes!”

October 2, 2014

I had known Jes­si­ca since I had joined the Uni­ver­si­ty of Toron­to Gospel Choir back in 2003. Not only did we con­nect on a Fil­ipino lev­el, her bright per­son­al­i­ty just uplifts any­one she meets. And to match that sun­shine, why not add anoth­er large reflec­tor to spread that joy around (sor­ry, pho­tog­ra­ph­er nerd-speak). I only […]

We Are Fa-mi-ly! ~ featuring the Lin Family

January 17, 2014

So this is how Face­book works best … recon­nec­tions! I knew Carin way back in ele­men­tary school but only real­ly got to be great friends in high school. After grad­u­a­tion, every­one went their sep­a­rate ways and went on with their life’s jour­ney. Well, enter Face­book. When I had decid­ed to “final­ly” join Face­book (my excuse […]

A.C. + J.Z. ~ The Answer Is “Yes!”

January 11, 2013

I remem­ber the time when my wife and I were prepar­ing to get mar­ried…all of our oth­er friends were get­ting mar­ried too!!! And that’s what brings me to this love­ly pair, Ash­ley and Joel. Very good friends of Rebekah and Stephan, who got mar­ried last year, it was gra­cious of them to call me up […]

Kaileigh’s Family Photoshoot

November 8, 2012

Since Nathaniel has entered our lives (now, at sev­en months), our life has changed: top­ics of con­ver­sa­tion have all been con­cen­trat­ed on “what’s best for baby”; meet­ing new par­ents who can empathize with new expe­ri­ences and “unknowns”; and of course, rear­rang­ing sched­ules to accom­mo­date prop­er sleep­ing habits … well rest­ed baby = hap­py baby = […]

A.R. + S.C. : 100% Engaged!

December 1, 2011

The fore­cast called for 60% rain that week­end and I was scared that we would have had to post­pone Andrea and Steve’s engage­ment shoot. When we got ready to leave from the East end of the city, it was only driz­zling but then halfway through the dri­ve, it start­ed pour­ing! Hav­ing texted with Andrea revealed […]
