Planning a wedding and finding a photographer who will work with you from outside the Philippines is no easy feat. We found Jayson and Joanne through a family recommendation that shot their wedding a couple of years ago. We then decide to email them and in an instant, they replied quickly. We were going back and forth with our questions and felt very comfortable with them. What stood out compared to everyone else were their quick replies and making us feel important. In addition they have a website where you can see their past work. We finally decided to ask them to shoot our engagement and wedding photos.
Passionate, a great storyteller, and professional are words to describe Jayson and Joanne work when they shot our wedding on April of 2013.
The day of our wedding Jayson and Joanne showed up early in the morning at our hotel to take great pictures of us getting ready. They had two teams ready for us. One team went with the bride and the other for the groom. I was impressed on how prepared they were and the creative shots they took of us.
If you also have a chance to add the onsite photo slideshow, I would HIGHLY recommend them doing it. They did an impressive job making the onsite photo slideshow. Our friends and family were so mesmerized at the end of the night they asked who did the onsite slideshow.
We just received our pictures from them recently and the pictures look awesome! This was probably one of the best investments we made for the wedding and I would highly recommend Jayson and Joanne.
You guys are Amazing! Cheers for that. Thank you! Take care always and God bless..♥ 😀

Kind Words from Gelo and Kae
Booking Jayson and Jo Anne wasn’t a difficult decision. We did shortlist a few other photographers but when my mom and dad went to their office to officially meet them, the list was cut short. We were so convinced that we wanted them. Looking at their portfolio, we saw that their shooting style was what we were looking for: capturing the truly unguarded moments revealing the true emotion behind every photograph.
During our engagement shoot, it didn’t feel like it was our first time meeting them. They were both so professional yet so warm, making us feel at ease in front of their lenses. Not long after, we knew we did the right thing.
On our wedding day, they delivered so well, you can sense the passion they have for their craft. They made not only us, but all of the guests comfortable hence, they were able to elicit the genuine smiles from each one who faced the camera. We heard nothing but compliments from everyone. When we saw the output of what our day has been, we were more than content. Jayson and Jo Anne caught the tears and the smiles. Looking at the photos, we are always brought back to our day. They made us beautiful memories to hold on to.

Kind Words from Ron and Marj
I still thank God I was able to book the spouses. First off, Jo Anne Arquiza has a laser eyes and uncanny sense for details. She makes small non-living things speak and breathe. Seriously. Jayson Arquiza’s quick fingers captures every bit of emotion millimeter by millimeter. He is crazy about colors and sticks to the natural. Mark this blog for these two will bankrupt Photoshop soon. Their so-called “raw photos” are sooo good, no editing needed.
