Before that, I was an IT girl working in the investment banking world; an experience that I learnt a lot from and was very grateful for. After seven years, however, I was yearning to do something more creative. I dabbled in graphic design, thinking it could bridge the gap between the corporate life and the creative dream. But, it didn’t quite spark joy.

What I actually loved doing already was, of course, photography. I especially loved documenting my travels; capturing sceneries and architectures, people and cultures, delicious food I was having, and my daily activities. I just never thought it could become a career; the idea of going into the unknown and starting your own business was scary. But, I took the leap of faith and pursued my dream anyway. We only live once, right?

Once I began photographing weddings, I knew I had found my passion. It was inspiring to be part of a beautiful day where people come together with the purest intention of just sharing love. Weddings gave me the perfect opportunity to use my creativity and love of photography to capture the essence of people, who they are and how they love, and to document a chapter in their life with all of its meaningful moments. I loved that I was creating something important for people to love and cherish forever.

I’m so glad I followed my heart and made that leap. I get to live the creative life that I’m passionate about and can take pride in; I get to bring people joy through my work; and I even like the boss hehe!
