• Defining Distinction

    I dream of women wanting more to express themselves, than what is beautiful in the context of the society.

    I have nothing against the no make up look. I personally think that it is very pretty on a bride, and in fact, it is what I usually recommend. But I believe that there are more possibilities on how much more beautiful a bride or a woman could be if we break out of the cookie cutter and reflect more on how our individuality could shine. Cliche as this may sound, but really, beauty truly comes from within. In my search for a vision, I am also searching for something deeper. Make up will truly become an art form of women's advocacy if it will be used not only to enhance physical traits, not only to satisfy what one sees in the mirror or to empower women through self confidence but also to embrace the individuality of a person that is more beautiful than anything else.

RETROSPECT vol. 1

The fulfillment of being in the field of service is not only because of the mastery of your craft, or being the best that you can be, but mostly because of the lives that you touch along the way while doing what you love to do.

It is most fulfilling when gratitude is shared to one another. And this is what this project is all about—a retrospect of what has been and an inaugural of the forthcoming.

Thank you so so much for my lovely brides, Fatima Ong-Calsado,  Joyce Lara-Tioleco,  Gerlyn Martinez-Ortiz, Myrna Reaport-Yao and Therese Vertido-Lim for lending me your faces, for your time and trusting me all over again for this shoot.:)

A collage of photos of the lovely ladies on their actual wedding day. :

sunmom - wow! i wish i can afford this when i get to marry my man! very beautiful!

ceejay - jesy, they’re so pretty! i suddenly got excited for my turn this year :)

Ehrlich - I must say Ate Jesy! Bravo bravo bravo. Ngayon ko lang nakita to. It’s so heartfelt, warm, human and you feel that connection (not to mention satisfaction from your clients). Di ka lang nagpapaka-astig, nagpapalambot ka rin pala (haha competitive edge mo yan). Indeed, you are the right mix of bubbliness and professionalism that is perfect for a bride’s companion throughout her special day.
