Mindanao is my native land. This is where I belong, feel secure and am at peace. To be in Mindanao is to feel the embrace of a warm, soft blanket.

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

So I just produced the photos I took during my very first wedding photography coverage gig. I was one of the photographers (and the only female photographer, I should say) during the Prestenbach Wedding in Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao last December 28, 2008. (Yep, I guess I’m now a wedding photographer here in Mindanao! ) It was truly a great day – to be able to capture people and moments and to be a part of a nice couple’s memorable day. The Prestenbachs, a Germany-based couple, have been together for 15 great years and they’re thinking of moving here in the Philippines for good. The Prestenbachs have two lovely children. They also have this magnificent beachfront property in Baloy, Cagayan de Oro.

Here are some of my wedding photography photos:

I use a Nikon DSLR. I use two lenses – one Nikkor and one Sigma. I also have a wide angle lens that’s great for landscapes and microphotography.

I’m looking forward to doing more photography gigs here in Mindanao. Not just weddings, mind you. I also do fashion photography, portraits, food photography, nature/landscapes and events (one of my favorites so far especially since I’m an events organizer myself). So if you have a special event, please don’t hesitate to contact me I would love to know how I can help make your special day even more memorable!

Oh yeah, before I forget, I work closely with my brother and his other photographer friends. Usually, there are 2-4 photographers in every wedding coverage. We can also refer you to a videographer here in Mindanao (the videographers we know are based in Cagayan de Oro but they can travel to just about anywhere, really. My brother’s photographer – videographer team has been to Davao City, Camiguin, Dipolog City, Iligan, Malaybalay City, Valencia City and neighboring towns here in Mindanao).

Contact me today or you can also call/text (+63) 919 238 6575. We’d love to hear more about your special event or wedding plans! And don’t worry, we offer highly affordable rates. All fees are negotiable, too!

So whether your wedding will be in Davao City, General Santos City, Zamboanga, Bukidnon (the Monastery of Transfiguration in Malaybalay City is a favorite of many!), Cagayan de Oro City, Butuan…name the place in Mindanao and we can go there. We can also travel to Visayas (we’ve covered events in Cebu City and my brother and his photographer-friends have conducted photography workshops in Cebu) and Luzon
