MARTY
Marty is the lovely person you are talking to behind the scene.
She is the administrative and communication hub of the business: from when we receive your first inquiry, all the way to delivering your final wedding gallery shes there in every step of the way. She’s answering e-mails, sending out contracts, scheduling sessions, etc, and monitoring our client experience to insure it’s fun, easy and efficient. Without her this journey will not be possible.
ALVYN
ALVYN IS THE PERSON BEHIND THE CAMERA:
He is proficient in guiding and giving clients directions to create the most authentic and beautiful images that best represent them on their wedding day. Alvyn has a formal degree in photographic technology and has a vast technical knowledge in camera gears, high quality lighting equipments, and natural light and uses them to his advantage to create illuminated, natural, and timeless photographs.
On your wedding day, he approach many parts of the day by blending in with the surroundings to photograph those in-between moments that you don’t get to fully experience until you relive your day through the photos! He is constantly on the move taking as many photographs as he possibly can to capture each details of your day. Detail shots are important as they represent your unique style and are often a result of many months of planning!
For the bride, groom, and wedding party photos, he will work with you to have fun and come up with creative poses that showcase your relationships best! He will help you every step of the way with posing, adjusting flowers, and looking for hairs out of place. After the family formal group photos, it’s back to becoming part of the background and capturing things from a distance while still being available to you if you have a specific shot request!
During engagement sessions, he will work together on posing – both so that you know how to stand so that the camera captures your most flattering angles – and so that he know how the two of you naturally interact! He may start out with a few nice smiling posed shots and move into the two of you strolling together, hand in hand, etc. The key is to pretend you aren’t being photographed – to just enjoy each other and the awesome and giddy season of being engaged!
When editing your photos we starts with a classic, timeless film look that we believe will still look amazing when you pull your photos out to show your kids and grandkids someday. Your photos will have a consistent, natural, vibrant, and clean look to them and will be arranged and delivered in a way that beautifully tells the story of your wedding day from start to finish.
We love the gift of marriage. Being married for 10 years, we have seen the best of married life thus far that we are excited you are about to begin that journey. We specialize in wedding and portrait photography. From engagement sessions to creating stills for families, the images alvyn takes create wonderful love stories of life and blessings that we want our clients to enjoy for years and years to come.
- Alvyn has a breakdancing degree, not technically, I think he’s retired and I keep encouraging him to keep dancing but he keeps saying it’s still in his muscle memory (he may show you a move at your wedding reception if you ask enough times)
- Marty loves affogatos; totally another excuse to have ice cream
- We have 5 beautiful children, maybe more if God blesses us with more, although pretty satisfied with the family of 7 life
- We were both born in the Philippines and God planned for us to meet in Michigan out of all places in the world
