These post-pandemic years really gave us an eye-opening vision in terms of celebrating moments, as these are the first years in which the better normal truly started to unravel slowly for the first time since the unprecedented pandemic that really took a toll on momentous events. This wedding was also my immediate engagement after a pre-wedding session in Spain, which really made me feel excited because this meant we are embracing a new and better normal, and things are going back to how they should be.

For Michell and Hans, their wedding was like a breath of fresh air, a sliver of hope after huge setbacks and challenges that really made their union special and signified the start of great tomorrows and new chapters ahead of them – now together as one. The wedding allowed me to capture impeccable unmasked emotions, literally and figuratively, of the couple and the ones they hold dear with classy and chic aesthetics.

Love sustains, and love endures. This event allowed me to realize that life always gives, and how we receive each gift and each day is all on us. All we have to do is to live, love, and embrace the beauty of living and loving in its purest sense.
