If there is any one thing our work has taught me, it is this: beyond the glamour, beyond the prestige, it is the relationships we build that matter the most. This is no more evident than when we get to shoot the weddings of entire families, even entire clans. The work allows us to form close bonds with our clients.

I am so excited to share with you the wedding of Melisse and Emer, A little backgrounder: we shot the wedding of Melisse’s older brother, Lester, in 2016 and since there are only the two them, that’s the entire Ang family right there. But that extends to a few other cousins as well – Kennard, Mich, and Tinee. In these events, it is always heartwarming to see former clients who, over the years, have become friends. Even though we are there only to take photos, there is an unbeatable feeling of warmth… of family… that I find truly special.

As you go through the photos of this wedding from Santuario de San Antonio and Makati Shangri-la, think about how all these go beyond the frame. These are all slices of life of people and of families that we get to connect with and be a part of.
