Celebrating love, culture, and legacy this Heritage Month ❤️
I’m the first in my family to be born in the U.S., raised by a Filipino mother and the legacy of my grandparents who immigrated here from the Philippines. 🇵🇭
Their sacrifices, their traditions, their love has shaped the way I see the world, and the way I document yours.
Today, I’m raising a beautifully blended family. Filipino, Black and Mexican. Our home is rich with culture, rooted in tradition, and filled with the kind of love that spans generations.
From the quiet in-between moments to the traditions that mean everything, I don’t just capture how your day looks. I honor what it means.
Here is a snippet of details my couples have intentionally incorporated into their weddings to reflect their culture.
To my AANHPI couples, and to every couple whose story is deeply connected to culture, family, and heritage, it is truly an honor to document your love with intention and heart.
Proud to be an Asian American woman-owned business, telling stories that deserve to be seen, felt, and remembered ✨
