Kind Words from Henry and Tetet

After the all important choice of the church and the wedding day, my husband and I decided on a simple, intimate early morning ceremony with only the closest family and friends. We also decided that we will put most of our money in the two things that will last forever, the rings and the pictures. We kept our engagement a secret (only family knew and friends, we told 100 days before the wedding, even if we planned it for a year). It was difficult to go around looking for suppliers in bridal fairs because we risk running into people and blowing the secret, and frankly, the orchestrated and cinematic shots in the booths made my then fiancé and I uncomfortable. We were simple people, and we wanted the pictures to capture the moments naturally, without unnecessary drama; it was just not “us”. We also did not have a lot of pictures as a couple and were very excited to finally have professional shots done at some of our favorite places. Jayson and Joanne were “referred” …

Kind Words from Mark and Marj

We tied the knot on 18 December 2007. Every moment of that fateful day was captured forever by Jayson and Jo Anne. Professionally. Magically. Every detail, every movement, every emotion was skillfully taken in by Jason, supported by Jo Anne’s ministering hands. Each time I look at our leather-bound wedding album, I utter a silent prayer that Mark and I have entrusted to them the great responsibility of making the memory of our big day last forever. Now, almost six years had passed, even our four-year old daughter and two-year old twin boys get to enjoy the product of their talents. My daughter even asked me once, “Mommy, was Daddy happy or sad here?” She was referring to a photo of my would-be husband at that time, while he stood at the altar, with tears on his eyes, watching me walk down the aisle. The shot was brimming with pure, raw emotions and it was captured forever! I know this is long overdue, but to Jayson and Jo Anne, we thank you! Thank you for …

Kind Words from Vince and Carole

We had Jayson shoot for us during our wedding dated, Dec 7, 2006. It was still Redefine Weddings then, and just Jayson and a back -up photographer with Joanne still pregnant to Zeb. We found out about Jayson through a W@Wie, Vhong, who highly recommended them though Jayson was just new in the industry. Looking at Vhong and his wife’s photos and the yet few clients they have online, I was convinced by the vivid and innate talent Jayson has in capturing the candid yet pure essence of love that couples want to see in the outputs. So I emailed them right away and booked them then and there. During our pre-nup shoot, Jayson and his team was very warm and comfortable to work with… There was no stiffness nor difficulty in dealing with them.. They were just new then, but they were definitely professional and passionate in their craft that you wouldn’t notice they’re novices then. They came early during our wedding day, very cooperative with our coordinator, and were just all out for …
