Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary Ray and Vilma

I had the privilege to photograph Vilma and Ray’s 25th wedding anniversary celebration. This adorable couple never had an actual wedding ceremony 25 years ago, so this makes the celebration even more special. It was really on honor to have photographer their very special event, and to celebrate their silver anniversary.

Marriage of Jay and Joyce

On May 2nd, one of my closest friend, Jay, will celebrate 2nd year anniversary with his marriage with his lovely wife, Joyce. Although his wedding was small, it was still very special and heart warming.

As an inspiring photographer, I decided to bring my camera to take a few shots of the beautiful couple.

Here are some of them.

Miss Philippines USA 2016

On July 17th, I had the pleasure of attending the Miss Philippines USA 2016 pageant. This year, the event was help at the historical Alex Theater, in downtown Glendale, CA.

This year’s contestants came from all over California, most from the Los Angeles area, with a few from our neighboring states. Below are a few shots I took while enjoying the pageant.

But what made this pageant even more enjoyable was the fact that my very own niece, Miss Kalea Pitel, was a contestant. Here’s the kicker, she was crowned Miss Philippines USA 2016! Keep an eye on #17 on the photos below.

I can’t be more proud of her and her accomplishments!

Congrats to all pageant winners and especially to my niece!
