Hi, I’m Michaela. I’m a Filipino-British documentary & editorial wedding photographer in Budapest.

I believe your photos should feel like YOU rather than a Pinterest board.

A bit more about me:

- I’ve lived in 6 countries (Hong Kong, Philippines, Thailand, Australia, France, and Germany). 
- I’m a former luxury magazine photography editor, which means I approach my work with an editorial eye. 
- I’m a psychology student working towards licensure in forensic psychology. I’m a forever curious person and education is so valuable to me. 
- I married my favourite person and we have a cat called Puzzle, who is both adorable and spoiled and just so lovely.

I photograph weddings in Europe for couples who value authenticity over perfection; who want an intimate or medium-sized wedding that’s heavy on love and light on stress; and who consider themselves a bit of a global citizen too.

If you believe your wedding day should feel like a gathering of your favourite people, and not a production — let’s talk. Drop me a DM or head to the link in my bio.

I could not resist doing this shot with Kirsten’s veil. Just couldn’t!

As the first month of 2026 draws to a close, I’ve been reflecting on the wedding landscape and how it’s shifting.

I get the sense that 2026 is less about tradition for tradition’s sake and executing a flawless, Pinterest-worthy event but more about cultivating an atmosphere that prioritises depth over scale, authenticity over performance, and giving yourself and your guests an experience that’s both fun, intentional, and focused on connection. And I’m all for it.

So these are some of the things I’m hoping to see less of and those that I’m hoping to see more of in the 2026 wedding season (and beyond). Which one is top of your list?

The moments between the moments are often my favourites. These photos from Ellie and Pierre’s wedding in the south of France are full of genuine, unstaged joy — the kind that happens when you forget the camera is even there.

What’s your favourite type of candid wedding moment?

I experienced something really special this year — I got to photograph the wedding of someone in my family that I really love and admire. Kirsten is the stepsister of my stepbrother, Dom, and we first met at Dom’s wedding, which I also photographed. Hit it off right away and fast forward to 2025 and it was Kirsten’s turn to marry the love of her life.

I was so honoured when she asked me to be her wedding photographer. The day itself made my heart so happy especially because it was the first time I’d seen Dom and his wife, Melly, our stepsister, and friends from Hong Kong since pre-COVID days. Throughout the whole day, Kirsten and her now-husband, Rens, kept reminding me that I’m family first and a photographer second, which I really appreciated. I had such a blast documenting this day for them because not only do I love the love Kirsten and Rens have for each other but the wedding itself was just sooo beautiful.

These are photos from my personal film camera. Very lucky to have this bunch as part of my family.

You would be hard pressed to find a culture where water doesn’t play a significant role…after all, it’s essential for our very existence as living beings. Water is sacred; it cleanses and purifies; and it connects us all.

I love how water is featured in Thai wedding traditions, through a water pouring ceremony called Rod Nam Sang. One by one, guests take turns pouring water over the couple’s hands, as an offer of blessings and good wishes for their new life together.

Would you include a water ritual in your wedding?

Capturing moments in a way that feels timeless and authentic is what I love to do the most.

If you’re dreaming of editorial-inspired photos that reflect your unique connection, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a DM and let’s create something beautiful together.
