Janette and Edgardo wanted a winter engagement session and of course we were excited. We definitely got our fair share of snow this year, so why not? We were lucky enough to pick a day for their engagement session where the snow was perfectly fresh. It snowed the night before and snow made such a pretty backdrop.
We started the session at Muvico Theater which is a special place for Janette and Edgardo. Meaning is everything! Despite the cold, Janette and Edgardo made it such a fun day. We eventually made our way to photograph with the snow and it was a perfect day.
Can’t wait for your wedding Janette and Edgardo!
Thank you to Krisjon Sison for assisting us on this day.

Such an exciting time for Erika and Armando! They are expecting their first child and it’s a Girl!
We met Erika at her sister Priscilla’s wedding last summer and when she called us for her maternity photo session we were delighted. Due to the polar vortex weather we opted for an indoor session and it was perfect!
We wish you both and your family the best. Thank you for having us.
We are so much looking forward to photographing Julie and Raj’s wedding day. We are sure it is going to be a beautiful day.
Their engagement session is just the beginning and they are amazing!
There is so much love, fun, and happiness between these two and because of this they are such a wonderful couple. It was a fun filled day. Even though the weather was a bit of a challenge these two looked wonderful and the props made the shoot even more fun. Chacha and Rocky were in the fun as well and they did a great job!
Eileen and Filomer are such fun, sweet, kind couple. Being around them makes you realize how much they are looking forward to their lives together as a married couple. It is such an exciting time right now and we are so lucky to always be a part of a couples journey to their wedding day.
We spent a day with them to shoot their engagement session and it was a good time. We would of probably kept going if it wasn’t for the drop in temperature.
Best Wishes to you Eileen & Fil. Thank you for a great day!
When Nestle and Kenneth asked us to be part of their special day, it was pure excitement and joy! Their theme is definitely out of ordinary and it makes everything more exciting.
We spent all day with them shooting their engagement photos and we literally went all over the city. Time went by so fast that before we knew it the sun was going down.
Nestle and Kenneth are such a perfect pair ! We are truly looking forward to their wedding day.
We have been lucky enough to have loyal clients that contact us for photography needs. One in particular is Rowie and family. For a few years now we photograph Rowie and her family. It is amazing that we get to see her kids grow before our eyes. Our annual photo sessions are always a good time. This year we planned the session rather quickly. Literally. Everything was perfect and we could not ask for better. The day, time, location, colors and weather was made for our photo session.
We absolutely loves the entire set and have to say all of the photos are favorites. Biased I know, but still. It is truly an honor that we can capture these photos for them. The best part of our job is meeting wonderful people… This family is no exception to that.
Leonard and Desiree are such wonderful people. Everything about these two is beautiful, inside and out. It only took our first meeting, maybe the first few minutes to tell how kind hearted they are. We were so excited when they asked us to be a part of their wedding day.
Their wedding day was absolutely amazing. From the weather, the dresses & tuxedos, the colors, the flowers, the smiles… all Picture Perfect. Leonard and Desiree looked stunning. The ceremony was full of emotion from everyone in attendance. The moment Leonard saw his bride walking down the aisle it was all happy tears. Desiree’s quick glances to Leonard during the ceremony were worth a million words.
After the I Do’s it was “Party” in full mode. It was truly a celebration of LOVE with friends and family. Looking at their pictures makes us realize how lucky we were to have been a part of such a special day.
Leonard & Desiree we wish you both nothing but the best. Smile always! From, Allan & Griselda.
Thank you Ed Corral for assisting us with Photography on this day!

Priscilla & Andree
As a photographer you never know what to expect with clients. When we first meet it was like an instant connection. Priscilla and Andree are the most down to earth, fun, easy going couple. They made our jobs so easy. Their engagement session was so much fun! They were up for anything and with a combination of ideas between them and us of course it was a success!
Priscilla and Andree got married on beautiful summer day. When we arrived at Priscilla’s location for pre-ceremony pictures it was not a typical atmosphere with all the fun hussle and bussle. Instead it was a complete opposite. It was quite and calm. And everything went off perfectly. Andree spent his morning with his groomsmen before the I do’s.
Someone said it best in our Facebook page. It was a comment in one of their pictures…”It was a beautiful day I’m so happy to have witness your wedding day.” A beautiful day it was indeed.
We wish you all the best Priscilla & Andree. Thank you for having us on your wedding day.

Their wedding day was on one of the hottest days this summer. But Donald and Suah were troopers and we had a great time during their pre ceremony pictorials. They could not have picked a better backdrop and location. We started at the Willis Tower and made our way to Millennium Park.
Their beautiful ceremony and reception was held at one of the top floors of Willis tower. It was literally all smiles from beginning to end. From the vows, to cocktails, dinner, speeches and dancing. Our day went by so quick, it was a perfect day for a wedding.
