There’s no better word to describe Alice and Chris’ wedding except MAGICAL. That’s at least how I felt the whole time I was taking their photos from their details to the very end of their reception coverage. They were ready despite the rain that day and we absolutely made it work. There’s no place in […]
It’s been decades in the making for these two. The first time they met was not the right time.

Why do I ask these questions, you say. Well, we covered a wedding recently wherein the most impressive thing that put […]

Two precious people in my life finally picked a date for their wedding (after 3 years of engagement!). Besides that, they said it’s a Great Gatsby-themed wedding at Hotel Allegro […]
Meet MICHELLE
What started as a childhood hobby evolved into a great passion. Hours after I got engaged, I browsed through dozens of wedding photographers' portfolios and realized I was looking at my dream job. I fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. It is my utmost goal to make you look back at these memories we create together as if you're experiencing these moments again, nostalgic yet exquisite.
