Sagada has always been a place of recluse and of peace. And for a few days during this shoot of Katrina and Justin, it has also been a place of true beauty and of love.

This trip will always be remembered for its long drives, long hikes, and long dresses. The only things that were short of were time and breath. All of which contributed to an experience that we will all surely, well, long for.

I’m grateful to Katrina and Justin for deciding on a trip that filled our SD cards with amazing pictures and our souls with inspiration. I hope it does the same to you when you view this beautiful feature.
