I was born and raised in the Philippines, but I’ve been prairie living in Canada since I was 11. Today, I’m a Winnipeg wedding photographer documenting love stories across Manitoba, Canada, and wherever your story takes me.

I’ve always been a creative at heart. Before photography came along, I was sketching portraits, painting with acrylics and oils, or dancing whenever I got the chance. I also grew up in a family that loved documenting everything — birthdays, road trips, family gatherings, even the everyday moments. Taking photos felt second nature. But it wasn’t until Grade 9 that I really started seeing photography as an art.

Winnipeg Wedding Photographer — Cinematic, Documentary & Editorial

And if you know me, you know I go all in when something excites me. I saved up for my first camera, photographed everything through high school, and fell in love with creating. At the time, I didn’t even realize photography could become a career — I just knew it made me happy.

When nursing school came along, I had to put the camera down for a while. Then, in 2020, my love for photography came rushing back. I haven’t put it down since.

Today, my approach to wedding photography in Winnipeg and beyond is rooted in documentary storytelling, with a cinematic and editorial influence. I love the in-between moments, the movement, the emotion, the messy parts, and all the little things that make your wedding feel like yours. I’ll step back when the moment deserves to unfold naturally, then step in with relaxed direction when you want a little more editorial flair.

The result? Cinematic, documentary-inspired wedding photographs with an editorial edge — images that feel like stills from a movie while remaining true to the people and moments that actually happened.

Artful storytelling for the modern romantic.

If we meet, you’ll quickly learn I don’t take myself too seriously. I’m a goofball who loves to laugh, bond over good food (sushi, Korean BBQ, and Filipino dishes are forever my comfort zone), and dream up my next travel adventure.

And at the heart of it all? I’m a romantic.

Weddings feel like home because they’re full of connection, joy, movement, and those fleeting little moments that say everything without words. Whether I’m photographing a wedding in Winnipeg, Manitoba, somewhere else in Canada, or halfway around the world, being trusted to document that kind of love story is the best part of what I do.
