F.A.Q.
WHERE ARE YOU ORIGINALLY FROM?
Iām originally from the Philippines and immigrated to the United States when I was 4 years old. My family lived in the Bay Area briefly, but I spent a majority of my life in the Truckee Meadows of Reno, Nevada.
WHAT TYPE OF SESSIONS DO YOU OFFER?
I specialize in wedding and engagement photography, but also offer family and editorial sessions.
WHY FILM (I.E. USING ROLLS OF COLOR/B&W CARTRIDGES)?
I shoot film primarily because I love the way it looks. Its dreamy and glowy quality is very appealing to me. Film encourages me to slow down and be more methodical as I execute each shot. Digital photography however, is invaluable due to its extreme versatility, especially in low-light situations. With that said, I shoot with the appropriate medium when the setting best fits it.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR WEDDING COLLECTIONS?
Most of my collections include all digital files and film scans on a USB drive with printing rights, an online viewing/proofing gallery, delivered in a custom presentation box with fine art prints. Depending on the amount of wedding coverage, I typically deliver on average, 400 to 800 photographs.
WILL YOU TRAVEL TO PHOTOGRAPH US?
Absolutely! I locally serve Reno-Tahoe and most parts of California, but definitely ready to pack my bags and travel anywhere with you.
CAN WE MEET WITH YOU BEFORE WE DECIDE TO BOOK?
Of course! In fact, I highly recommended it! It allows me to get to know you better and hear more about your love story.
