For us, every bride or groom to-be must invest in a good photographer. Someone who doesn’t just fit the couple’s personality but one who will be able to capture every emotion and translate every moment into that perfect shot which you can cherish for the rest of your lives. We’re so happy to have Joel and Ma-anne capture our special day.
We weren’t able to have a prenup but they generously provided advices before our wedding. They are very punctual, professional, very easy to work with and are full of passion in what they do. I’m a bit camera shy but every stiff angle turned into breathtaking photos we didn’t realize we’ll achieve. No wonder Joel is called the master of light and Ma-anne is the master of that signature veil shot. Our wedding was not perfect; but after seeing the photos, all those imperfections seem so distant. Thank you for the amazing photos Joel and Ma-anne! Our families and friends became your instant fans after watching the onsite SDE! We’ll definitely recommend you to them; in fact we already have some inquiries May God continue to bless you and may you share more of your amazing talent to other future brides/grooms. |

Choosing our wedding photographer was one of our most important decisions during our wedding planning. Thankfully we ended up with our first choice, JHG Photography. From the get go we were very happy with how easily we aligned our concepts and ideas with Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-anne. It also helped that we were already a fan our their style. Shooting time is always maximized, and you won’t ever run out of shots no matter how simple your setup or venue is. The final output also exceeded our already high expectations especially our intimate civil wedding photos. A lot of our relatives and close friend commended our photos.
Thank you Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-anne! It was really fun shooting with you during our pre-wedding and civil wedding! Til our final event Kyle & Rowena |

Joel H. Garcia Photography is a personal pick of my hubby, sabi nga nya non negotiable because he wanted the quality of our wedding pictures on the highest level and he was recommended by our photographer friend. Indeed they are worth the penny you will pay. We highly recommend Joel H. Garcia Photography due to below:
1. You will feel comfortable with them - first time we met them is through skype only as we are working abroad. Since our first meeting we already feel comfortable talking to them and even during the shoot they are just so fun to work with. They even give us advise and tips. 2. They are so patient with us - we finalized the date of our prenup in less than a month before the wedding. We even keep changing location due to restrictions. I actually told my husband that it’s okay for me if we will not have prenup shoot anymore coz we’re really lack of time. But good thing we still proceeded of having a prenup shoot. 3. They create superb output-we received lots of compliments on our prenup and wedding photos despite that both of us are not that comfortable being in front of camera. They deliver and even exceeded our expectation. Even other suppliers noticed their expertise in their work as they are able to take great photos quickly. 4. They are professional - they always arrive on time and we would like to commend their professionalism during our wedding because the weather is not good but they still took great photos despite them and their cameras getting wet. Our Ninang advised us to get good photographer coz the photo/album are the one that you can keep for a long time after the wedding. And we are just happy that we chose Joel H. Garcia Photography as our wedding photographer. Highly recommended! Thanks Sir Joel, Ms. Ma-anne and the team! |

Thank you, Joel & Ma-anne for being more than just our photographer but also our bestfriends during the wedding! Honestly, we have our reservations but you guys assured us before the event and really made us comfortable throughout our big day (and our prenup as well).
When we were initially selecting our suppliers, I really insisted on having JHG Photography as our photo because their pictures contains the tiniest details and captures the essence of the moment. True enough, the pictures that came out really does what their taglines states - “images that speak”. Looking back at our pictures, we can still feel our emotions, the people we were with, and the situation we were in. Joel’s creative mind together with Ma-anne’s on point shooting is a tag team worth recommending for. Never a dull moment with them and you really can trust them with capturing your once in a lifetime event. Til’ our next shoot! Kudos! M&N |

I contacted Joel shortly after I booked my church and reception venue. He has always been my (and my sister, Diana) favorite wedding photographer! So stoked that he was available!!
I was never the fussy bride (i think). I only wanted the photos to be classy and timeless. And Joel delivered this! I also warned them that the hubs and I are both camera shy so if they could be extra patient with us! hahaha. Joel and Ma-anne were so easy to work with! They definitely made those stressful moments more calm and FUN! I remember being all panicky in the morning because it was raining and Joel said, "Hayaan mo na, wala na yan mamaya!" Dear Joel and Ma-anne, you were a big part of our special day! Thank you for the amazing wedding pictures!! We will always look at those photos with great fondness, especially since it was the last big family event before covid hit All our love, Ria and Ryan |

Sir Joel & Ma Anne, we are so thankful and blessed to have you as our wedding photographers. Thank you for taking your time to know our preferences as a couple and as individuals before the wedding. We were not stressed out posing or trying so hard since we are both awkward in front of the camera. It was just smooth for us. When we saw the photos, we really loved it because it showed real emotions and just us enjoying or feeling the moment. It really has life to them that we can remember what’s happening when the pictures were taken or the story behind it. Our wedding was not perfect but the photos you took that day always reminds us how beautiful and solemn our day for us. Thank you for your passion for your craft, your resourcefulness since our prep location wasn’t an ideal one but man the pictures were incredible you made it look like one. Grabe. As in wow!
I would definitely recommend you to my family and friends. My Ate who is married already even told us that she wished she could’ve taken you as their photographer on their wedding day. And my younger sibling who may be next to be married already telling me that she would get you as their wedding photographers. They love our wedding pictures! Thank you, thank you thank you! We really wished that you’ll be more successful not just in your photography career but also in your personal aspirations in life. Love & Light, Mcgyver & Majo Ibay |

Dear Joel and Ma-anne,
We are so incredibly grateful to have had you photograph our wedding. The photos are beautiful, breathtaking, and everything we could have ever dreamed of. We have had so many comments on how good the photos are, and one saying they were the best wedding photos they had seen. You captured the raw emotion in our eyes, the natural moments of pure bliss, and all the magic in between. You guys made us comfortable and confident in front of the camera, giving us friendly directions to achieve your vision, and for that we thank you. We appreciate how you took the time to talk to us and get to know us as a couple. Thank you for your professionalism, and for making the whole process so easy and relaxing. I have already and will continue to highly recommend you to our friends and family. It was really wonderful to meet you and work with you, you have left a lasting memory with us. May God continue to bless your eyes and the beauty it captures. Best regards, Timmy and Debbie Chan |

Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-anne is an amazing team of photographers. They captured every wonderful moment of our engagement and wedding. They took the time to know us, in order to tell our story through their jaw-dropping photos. They are professional, punctual and creative. Since the start from the engagement shoot up to the last part when we watched the slide show photos presented to us before our wedding day ends, we are all smiles and wow for the whole experience. Guests enjoyed watching the photo slide shows too and all I can hear are “wow”s on the background. They went above and beyond for each shot they took during our event to give the most wonderful memories we can take for a lifetime! They cared for us like their own friends/family. They contacted us regularly for updates and were happy to do whatever we wanted. Sir Joel’s eyes are blessed with much creativity, he’s able to capture on his camera frame something that our normal eyes couldn’t see at first glance! It’s been 2 years, this recommendation is long overdue because of the hustles and bustles of life but God knows how much we vouch for them as wedding photographers! 2 years passed but still, every time we look at our wedding photos, we can’t help but smile and it always make us feel that we are there again, enjoying every single moment! We’ll definitely get them again as our photographers, not only for weddings but in every milestones of our lives whenever we are in the Philippines! Couldn’t recommend them more! Having them as our wedding photographers is the best decision we’ve made which we will bring with us for a lifetime with the photos they captured.
Again, thank you so much Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-anne. You made our wedding most memorable and wonderful through your amazing photos! -Cris and Jamie |

Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-anne, until now your work still leaves me speechless. And to think I didn’t even want a photographer for my wedding day, but my groom and maid of honor convinced me otherwise. Just imagine what I would have missed!
Phenomenal and out of this world—these words best describe the quality of photos you get from Joel H. Garcia Photography. There isn’t a smudge of doubt in my mind that THEY. ARE. WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. I couldn’t ask for more in a wedding/event photographer. They are very hands on and like dealing directly with their clients, not the wedding coordinator—a plus point for my husband and I. They furnished wedding planning tips and coordinated with our wedding organizers to make sure our wedding will turn out perfect, photograph-wise. And they never complain. I didn’t see them eat the breakfast or lunch we served them during our wedding day, but they still had this drive in them to give their best… like how our own family were ignoring their own comfort just to give us the support and help we needed on our special day. That’s exactly how they turned out to be for us in the end—family. So please don’t be surprised anymore if you receive an email or a call/text from us again, Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-anne. We’re already planning on having you do my maternity shoot. It would be such an honor to have you both again! Oh, and I’m also referring you to all our friends who will soon tie the knot. Words just cannot explain how PJ and I are so so so immensely grateful we found you on google! You guys are an extraordinary find, a hundred-to-one shot! You did not just provide us with wedding photographs, but you made them so beautiful and so full of life that they give us happy wedding vibes and joyful tears each time we look at them. We would still be equally indebted when we look back at these photos when we’re 70 or 80 years old. I think one of the reasons why you’re able to produce fascinating photos is the tandem that you guys have. It’s rare to find a husband and wife wedding photographer team, and you guys just make it work. Your tandem is just perfect because you know perfectly well how it feels like to be a bride and groom and how you would want to see yourselves when you revisit your own wedding photos. Another worthy feature you have is this impeccably natural way of keeping your clients at ease, especially those who aren’t so used to being in front of the camera. That is an achievement in itself. PJ and I wish nothing but the best for your career! Keep the drive and devotion for your craft burning, guys. We will be praying for you to have more clients, more achievements and success! Keep those feet firmly planted on the ground as you’re already doing now. God bless you both and see you again soon! |

Highly recommend Joel H. Garcia Photography for your big day or any special occasion. From prenup to wedding day, the photos came out beautifully and really captured the true essence and feeling of our special day. We could not have chosen a better photographer to photograph our wedding day and no doubt this is one of the best decisions that we've made! You will have no regrets if you go with them. We're so grateful, and thank you and the team for doing such an amazing job! Cheers!

Choosing them as our official photographer for our wedding is one of the best decisions we've made. They have the great talent to capture every small details in a right time. You won't regret it. Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-Anne, thank you very much. No words can explain how grateful we are. We will definitely recommend you to our family and friends. Thank you again! See you and Ms. Ma-Anne on our next event. ❤ - Ronald and Gen |

We were destined to have Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-anne as part of our important day. First time meeting them, we instantly felt their dedication to their passion because they were eager to get to know their subjects. They capture every moments exceptionally, you can truly feel the emotions seeing the photos. Thank you again Sir Joel, Ms.Ma-anne and the rest of the team. Neil and Germaine |

Sir Joel & Ms. Ma-anne's photogtaphy is top class, indeed. In my honest opinion, their passion for their work is unfathomable. Their technical know-how from exposure, angles, lighting, etc. is at par. They may had asked us to do some poses that we haven't done before, but we decided to just submit ourselves to them and to our surprise they produced fantastic photos of me with my beautiful wife. We never expected that we can have such wonderful photos, but it was made possible by JHG. Kudos to the whole team of JHG. 'Til next time. Cheers! |

Choose JHG photography! ❤️
Just a bit background on how we got to know them. My sister attended a wedding of her friend and when she watched the SDE photo wedding slideshow, she was truly amazed on how the veil shot of the bride was perfectly executed in a snap. Also, she noticed that the photographers had a right timing because they were able to capture a millisecond moment. Having such expertise only means that they truly master their craft. As such, during our wedding preparation, my sister really pushed us and highly recommended JHG Photography. As we browse their portfolio, we both said “THIS IS IT!!”. We did not even bother to look for another photographer, for comparison purposes, because we were already moved by their photos. Indeed, as their slogan says: Images that speak. We will be forever grateful to Sir Joel H. Garcia and Ma’am Ma-anne Roque-Garcia for having them as our official photographer. As we look our photos, we could not help but to shed some tears. They really make good of their words— behind every frame there’s a story. Also, despite the bad weather, they still managed to perfectly capture our wedding. 😍 We are truly blessed for having you both. |

Having Joel & Ma-anne in our wedding is the best choice we made. Please do yourself a favor and get them to cover yours too! Hinding hindi kayo magsisisi. I was told to put the biggest chunk in photographs for these will be our lifetime souvenir. And gladly I did it with the best person I can get. Thank you sir joel & ma-anne! You handled us very well, and brought the best out of us! You’re a perfect fit to our wedding team. You just made ours so successful!. 👍🏻 I really cant remember how I found them. No referral, nothing. What I know is me and my wife is praying for the right people to work with us, then we had them. Answered prayer indeed! Transaction went smooth even we’re oveseas. Very comfortable to workwith and always quality first! 😁 Highly recommended! |

This word of thanks is long overdue and it’s quite difficult for me to key-in together the right words, for they are not enough to express how grateful we are that you are our photographers in our wedding.
You have captured every detail of our big day PERFECTLY and beyond our expectation. The supposed to be simple and typical wedding that we planned turns out as a DREAM wedding in your photos - they were beautifully taken. We were blown away with the pictures - our family and friends too. We recieved lots of appreciation & compliments after I’ve posted them on my facebook account. Sir Joel & Maam Ma-anne, thank you so much for giving all your best in your craft during our wedding. Thank you for your patience - lots of it, i know esp for me and encouragement. Me & sam had zero talent in front of a camera but your photos made us look like were a pro. Para na daw kaming artista. Hehe! Kidding aside, one of the best decision we made in our wedding is having you as our official photographer. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! A treasure we can keep & a beautiful memory we can show our grandkids when we’re old and grey. Lots of love, Sam & Queennie |

Joel and Ma-anne truly exceeded our expectations since Day 1. It is crucial to choose a photographer that would allow you to be your best selves on the day of the wedding and they are truly masters of this because of the following: First, they offer consistent communication to manage our expectations. They have give you 2 meetings, the first one they will give an overview of what to expect on the big day. The second meeting, usually the week prior to the wedding, they will ask for personal stories that will make their photos meaningful. They will also give their advice and preferred shots list. This helped us calm our nerves. In our case, I wanted a shot that would highlight the church as it had a special significance in our love story. Keeping this story in mind, we had a common goal that allowed us to be at our best despite occasionally feeling tired and overwhelmed on our big day. Second, most of our guests are amazed with how our photos turned out. Joel and Ma-anne have a gift of making any location look more amazing than it actually is. For example, in our prenup, they were shot in suboptimal conditions. The sun was glaring, the waves were very strong and we were in our formalwear. But Joel and Ma-anne managed to keep us smiling genuinely, happily and confidently despite these conditions. I would suggest that you take their pre-nup photo shoot package as well. This has been instrumental in making us feel comfortable and good prelude of how the wedding process will pan out. We also had a vision in certain aspects of the shots taken. Joel worked with us so that he can best express our vision and I am grateful that he went above and beyond this to make us very happy. To be honest, some shots I hardly recognize myself. I think Joel and Ma-anne have this innate gift of making you more confident and allow you to release your inner diva behind the lens. Finally, Joel and Ma-anne are genuine, likable people that you want to be a part of your core team on one of the most emotionally charged days of your life. They were our coaches, mentors, cheerleaders. You would want them to be a part of your team, trust me. I cannot express how grateful I am to the team and I look forward to working with them again.

“Grabe, ang gaganda ng pictures nyo. Sino ba yung photographer ninyo? Sobrang sulit ha, ang galing nila!” “I just saw your wedding photos and all are so amazing.” - Those are a few comments that we’ve heard from our friend and colleague in Manila and Dubai. We could say that it’s not only us who got overwhelmed with the memories that we’ll have for our wedding but also all the people who saw some of the photos.
When we got engaged, Peter already told me that he wants Joel H. Garcia to be our official photographer as he met him before and when he checked his website, he got amazed with the uniqueness, creativity and emotions in the pictures. I am quite hesitant to agree as I don’t know them but time came that we are about to sign the contract with them and I felt comfortable that we are in good hands with the way they brief us on how will the capturing of moments will happen. I built my trust immediately and got more excited to work with them. We are an overseas couple and we didn’t have any hard time to communicate with them for the questions that we have and they’ve been proactive to give us tips that can be used in our big day. It was raining during our wedding and I already accepted that some of our pegs won’t be possible but we were surprised on how the creative minds of Sir Joel and Ma’am Ma-anne worked. From the wedding preps in the hotel, no time has been wasted and it became easier for us to feel comfortable while our pictures are being taken. What we had our really beyond our expectations and even our entourage got more excited with the photos. If you want to have something exceptional and stunning captured moments in your wedding then, book Joel Garcia Photography as it will be all worth it plus the feeling of having that own style of photos. These guys are highly recommended as they know how and what to deliver to satisfy their clients. So thankful and blessed for choosing you sir and ma’am, cheers for more clients! |

I really don't know where to begin.. The second I saw JHGs photos I knew they were the one. I booked JHG without seeing another photographer and it was the #1 best decision I made. Just when I thought sir joel could not surpass our expectations and hopes and dreams for a wedding photographer any further he continued to surprise and delight with his professionalism, creativity, thoughtfulness, and knowledge. I’ve learned so many things from our first and second meeting. Both Joel and Ma-anne gave very informative tips which were very very helpful for both my husband and I ( since we don’t have any professional prenup pictures hehe) We are so glad that we have such gorgeous pictures to remember the most important day of our lives. There is truly no price tag for the pictures that we have from this tag-team. Joel and Ma-anne has been an absolute pleasure to work with. As i’ve already told them, the photos are beyond words. Both our families and friends were crying when they saw the narrative video! thats how great they are. The photos were full of emotions that you would want to look at it everytime. We thank you forever for capturing our day in such a way that no one else could have!! |

Having JHG photography as my official photographer is a dream came true. This dream started when i first seen their works on my uncle Froilan and aunt Noda’s wedding way back Dec 2012. That time while i browse their album it was like a magic that all emotions really flown in each and every pictures. like all the pictures came alive (just like in harry potter) that it takes you back on those happy memories. It was so elegant full of life. As i ingress to those photo I wished and hope that someday if i will be getting married i want them to cover it and it did happened last Dec 23 2017. I had my most beautiful photo taken and i definitely had the most amazing experience having them to do all this beautiful and alive photos. Thanks so much Joel and Ma-anne you truly are very skillful and amazing photographer and people to come across with.

JHG photography was referred to us by a close friend. After browsing their website i was really amazed with their previous works. Without any hesitations I messaged Sir Joel Garcia right away about their packages.They offered a very fair and reasonable rates to us. Working with Sir Joel and Ma-ane during our prenuptial photoshoot was very excellent! They know what tips to give, very down to earth and professional photographers. Hiring them as an official photographer of our wedding is a very good choice. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and love ones. Thank you Sir Joel and Ma-anne for the things you have taught us and for the amazing prenup photos, SDE we will definitely going to miss shooting with you. More powers to both of you ☺️ - Lorenz and Patsy

I've been meaning to write this review for a while but where to start? As an overseas bride based in London UK, not familiar with the many different wedding suppliers in the Philippines I knew that I had to do my research, and I'm so glad I did because I found the best photographer a girl could have dreamed of for her wedding day!
Both Joel and Ma-Anne were a dream to work with. They were so professional and down to earth, it was a joy to be photographed by them. They make you feel at ease both during the pre wedding planning, to make sure they have all your wants and needs covered, and on the day. Unlike others who may make you feel awkward and forced causing the pictures to turn out the same way awkward and forced, these pros make you feel relaxed and "natural" therefore the pictures turn out so amazing! I especially love how before the wedding day they walk you through what to expect, and give you tips to make sure your pictures come out perfect, as well as ask if there are any specific details, props or shots you would like included on the day. I can't stress the word enough they are amazing! And their work is also amazing! I have only seen a handful of pictures from my wedding, of which Joel tells me there's many more but I'm already spoilt for choice! My only regret was that we ran out of time to take as many prep shots on the day as I would have liked to. I wish I could have spent more time with Joel during my prep time allowing him and his team to create more of the magic. Big tip ladies give yourself enough time to ensure you make the most out of the magic he creates, fellas this applies to you too! Ma-Anne took stunning prep shots of my hubby and his "boys". His work always tells a story it's so true, and the way he pieces together the pictures there is definitely a narrative, he tells the story of your special day in the images that he captures which will last forever. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to have memories of their special occasion that they can cherish for a lifetime. I know that for any major future events in my life I will definitely hire them again! Thank you so much Joel and Ma-Anne for everything you guys rock! |

We’re glad we worked with professionals who were in control hundred percent of the time while they paid attention to us and honored our requests too, during the shoots. We received positive feedback from our guests as well. We thought that the shooting would come with a lot of stress and it may be tiresome, but we only have good memories about the time spent with them. Camille will always remember how much effort was made to catch the right moment in the bridal car and the laughter accompanying this short ride. As far as Peter is concerned he was amazed by their ability to be seemingly invisible during the reception, yet they were always close, taking perfect shots in the right moments. - PETER & CAMILLE |

It was like almost every day that we've been googling wedding photographer and when we saw their portfolios we know that JHG will be our wedding photographer, everything is just so pretty and classy. They are very professional and from the time we met, we knew that they will never fail us and will capture beautiful images. - RONALD & APPLE |
|
|
We knew we are in good hands when we were able to book JHG photography on our team.
You can see how passionate this husband and wife team about their craft that they capture every moment as much as possible. We love how every detail was been captured as well and seeing it brings back memories when we are doing it ourselves. They are comfortable to work with that you will not feel intimidated. From the engagement session to the wedding day we really felt taken care by them. The constant tips and reminders are very helpful especially for us couple that is overseas. Most of all they listen to your ideas. - HANZEL & ISSA |

Joel and Ma-anne are a great match with the kind of photos we wanted for our wedding. They came highly recommended so were confident that our special moments would be documented well and we would have awesome pictures of our big day. Going into the wedding day, we were hesitant with the photo & video session thinking that part of the day would be chore. But, Joel and Ma-anne's photography style made us feel like we were just talking and enjoying each other's company. The whole experience felt personal, because from the beginning it was just Joel and Ma-anne talking to the two of us. We were comfortable the whole time and everything felt natural because we didn't feel like we were posing for strangers.
One of the very first photos he posted was the inside of the church. We were both awestruck. It was a WOW moment for us. After that, more amazing pictures started pouring in. The photos did justice to all the hard work we put into the wedding. The wedding day was a blur, and it wasn't until we saw the photos that saw how all the details came together. How our choices of venue, decor, gown, flowers etc. created a perfect picture. Joel and Ma-anne captured all of that and more. - MARK & ERIKA |
|
|
Our wedding went as fast as snapping a photograph in real life, only because we were both into the important moment of our lives. But nothing compares to the moments when time seemed to have stopped ticking on the clock and everything slowed down, such as when we saw each other in our wedding suit and wedding gown at both ends; one at the door, and the other at the altar, with the people who mattered to us most standing halfway, not just to witness, but also to live the moment with us.
We were really lucky to have worked with Joel and Ma-anne from the engagement session up to the wedding day. We have formed a bond with them during the photo shoot and we were amazed on how much and well they know their craft. Before the shoot, they gave us tips on how to pose and be comfortable in front of the camera and when we finally got to work with them in person, they proved that it didn’t have to feel like work after all. That’s why the relationship we had helped a lot to make things easier and go smoothly during the wedding day. - JEREMIE & KAYE |

JHG gave us a first class service! They took care of us from start to the end and it made us comfortable, confident and secure. Having them, allowed us to just focus on enjoying our special day without having to worry about our photos. The AVP was absolutely brilliant! We got a lot of compliments from our family and friends. Very few suppliers will take genuine interest in your history as a couple. Joel and Ma-anne took the time to get to know us and explore our personalities so they could capture the best images. We appreciate that they played to our strengths as a couple which is being fun and random. The whole experience from our E-session to our wedding day was really memorable!! Of course I have to specially mention the glorious “sitting-on-the-rooftop” shots during our engagement session! - MARK & ROXY |
|
|
Both of us are not photogenic and we rarely have good photos, this is actually a frustration. But with JHG taking the shots, we were confident that JHG can capture our best moments and looks and create great (and artistic) photographs out of them. We never had to worry about how our pictures will be, we just had fun, enjoying the moment while having our photographs taken. Also JHG was very helpful in following up and providing tips days before we have a shoot. Their creativity and how they took photo of all our details. And of course their great service with passion. - MARVIN & ERISA |

Having JHG photography on your day is Exciting. Since you guys are really creative in handling your wedding couple. It was creative yet spontaneous. We were really confident that the photos would turn out good. It was really fun working with Joel & Ma-anne, because we really felt that they are serious with your craft. We are always thankful for you guys that during the first meeting, you somehow sort things out and gave us some kind of an overview of what will happen and it did happened and we were thankful that you did enlighten us Of things to expect and stuff.
It was the personal touch that you give that makes it memorable working with you. - JUNELLE & THEA |
|
The other suppliers also had a lot of good things to say about JHG and that’s why I knew I could trust them on two things :
|
|
|
|
|
It was amazing = ) When you get a supplier that you trust. You will be stress free during the big day. True to that the results were wonderfully. Our very special moments were documented properly and we will forever treasure it. The most memorable part of our photography experience with Joel & Ma-anne is our engagement session photo shoot is very memorable because it was our first time to have our formal photo shoot as a couple with a professional photographer. We often just photo shoot ourselves .With them around,it felt easier to pose and project in front of the camera because we are comfortable with them . We have several places and clothes but we did not get tired , we indeed have fun! - EUMIR & EF |
|
|
To have JHG photography, It was like having a family member or a close friend document the whole event. We have always had great admiration for JHG photography’s work. They were the very first supplier that we booked but we knew that it will be a great challenge for them to shoot us. ☺ hehe. We are very shy in front of the camera, but with the JHG team, you will feel comfortable and at ease. They have that magic to vanish all of your fears in front of the camera. I don’t know if this will sound strange but it felt like dancing, and Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-anne has that rhythm wherein once you give your trust to them, everything will follow and you will know all the steps. For us as a couple, we will never forget that short moment in the cornfield. Having Sir Joel and Ms. Ma-anne made it extra special. It made us pause for a while and enjoy what the day is all about. It was a very short but intimate moment that we will forever cherish. - IAN & GLAIZA

It was AWESOME! Joel & Ma-anne made us feel very comfortable and we trust them so whatever they wanted us to do, we would do. Everything with them was memorable, but the most memorable would be the session right after the ceremony when all the nerves were gone. You made it so easy for us to relax and be funny. You made us laugh and be more excited about everything! - ARVIN & MONICA |

Having JHG photography on our wedding day is a sure-fire way to get 100% winner photographs. Photos will stay with us forever, so we wanted the best photographer we could find. We are so happy that despite our wedding being in peak season and it was so near their own wedding, Joel and Ma-anne were so kind enough to accept us. When we got the “yes” from them, we literally shouted for joy. Seriously.
The solo portrait shots because he made us feel like we’re models. We never thought that we could pose like that in front of many people. They really have a way of making us feel comfortable during the photoshoot. - JORDAN & KATRINA |

It was awesome! We felt extremely comfortable with them and their shooting style. We knew that the photos would turn out great but were surprised that they were more than great…they were amazing! We knew we were in good hands. We didn’t feel conscious at all and felt relaxed.
When they were telling us to interact more during our pre-nup and were making us feel more comfortable during the shoot. They helped us a lot in bringing out our emotions and being more at ease. Also, they had lots of inputs and pieces of advice. Also, they would push to have more shots when they see an opportunity for a great photo. They don’t seem to get tired, as long as they get the good shots. Also, they were very professional, kind and approachable, very accommodating to our requests. They turned out to be one of our best and kindest suppliers. - JAY AR & KAYCEE |

Having JHG made our wedding extra special. You guys are very professional but at the same time your personalities brought joy to our wedding. We’ll forever be grateful to you guys for capturing our special moment in a way no one else can. We love you guys! It was very memorable for us the calm atmosphere that you guys brought. You made it easy for us to relax and just enjoy it. A moment I will never forget is being stuck in traffic, late for my own wedding of course, and Joel kept telling jokes so that I wouldn’t panic. - RYAN & JOJIE |

As a photographer myself who has the passion of capturing everything in detail, it was a no-brainer choosing JHG Photography, and they were the ONLY option. On our big day, we saw how passionate Joel & Ma-anne were with their craft. They are very dedicated with what they do and as much as they can, they tried to capture our wedding day in detail. We are really happy having them as our photographers and as our friends. Having JHG Photographers on our BIG day was like a sought-after movie star or an artist. That someone is there to take your beautiful photos. Climbing the Church bell tower for our post-nuptial shoot was perhaps the most memorable photography experience with Joel & Ma-anne. We all had to hike the very steep stairs of the bell tower and it was difficult because my wife’s gown was heavy. However, the challenging climb was worth it because Joel & Ma-anne were able to capture lots of beautiful images of us.
The most memorable part of my photography experience with Joel was the bridal shots at the room when it was just me. Then with Ma-Anne the most memorable part was when I was at the Church standing outside waiting for the doors to open. I love the feeling of being there. - LEMJAY & CECILE |

Being familiar with JHG's work, I was very comfortable and confident that every special moment of our special day will be captured creatively and with heart.
Inspite of the fact that my husband is also a photographer and that we have a lot of photographers friends, I am really uncomfortable having my portraits taken. I was really surprised how at ease I was when Joel was taking my bridal portraits and it showed in the photos the dynamics between Joel & Ma-anne are amazing. Watching Joel & Ma-anne shooting together is like watching a couple dancing. - NOEL & CRISTINA |

Wow! We were with JHG for so many occasions that we already consider them as part of the family. From our sister's wedding, Engagement session, our best man's wedding, Family Photo shoot to Our very own Wedding, everything was perfect! JHG photos are so Special that you want to stare at them all day and re-live every moment. Everything was surreal. Joel and Ma-Anne are very professional and nice. - RYAN & LEA |

Oh my. I am lost with words to describe the feeling! It was superb! And if we are going to have our renewal of vows, will definitely be a JHG renewed couple! And if time permits, i want my future kids to be JHG couples!!! Thats how i love them!!! Every split second was memorable with them! There are 2 things i will.never be able to forget- the time that Joel gave me a bottle of water (coz i was really thirsty that time) and how they are super perfectionist (how they took photo of all.our details and of course the never ending last shot as their creative ideas just never runs out!) - HENJIE & ANGEL |

JHG's team is very experienced in making the most of each shot. Photo concept and composition were unbelievably easy and seamless for them to come up with, and it was like being in a magazine photoshoot, the way the final shots came out during the SDE slideshow.
Even the simplest poses come out spectacularly. They made even the simplest setups come out beautifully. I'm a very shy person and so am not used to doing poses, but their direction style made it easy for me to "pose" and their skill in shot composition really made each shot stand out. That for me was the most surprising and memorable part of the having them as our photography team. During our wedding the weather was nice and sunny, but our wedding was late in the afternoon and we only had a small window after the ceremony before it got dark. But they were still able to create beautiful shots with what little light we had so it's a testament to their skill. - ANDREW & VICKY |

From the moment we have seen their works in one of the wedding we have attended, we already know who will capture ours. JHG not only delivered what is expected from them but they exceeded what we are looking for. Truly we can say you’re in good hands (or eyes) with Joel and Ma-anne. The “Tree Shot”, it is the moment when Joel is doing his last shot at the garden of St. Joseph the Worker Chapel. The bottom of the tree was full of ants and Joel beg to us to give it a try and strike a pose with the wedding veil to be thrown in the air. It took a couple of tries because first, the boom light is not in the right position, the veil was not properly thrown and of course, us, we cannot hold our position for such a long time as we are then exhausted in the whole day of preparation adding the pressure that it is already dark and visitors are waiting for us for almost an hour it. Nevertheless, Joel still managed to nail this shot and it came out to be the best shot of our wedding. - ERWIN & CASEY |

We are confident that we will have nice and stunning wedding photos because we trust JHG that they are consistent in delivering great photos to their clients. Joel and Ma-anne took the time to meet with us before our wedding to get to know us as a couple and we liked it that they listened to our preferences and expectations. They talk to us like friends and not just clients, so during the wedding we're already comfortable with each other. I remember Joel telling me to relax and not worry too much when I was so tensed during the hotel preps. - VINCENT & DYAN |

We were very thankful that we chose JHG photography. They are very professional and talented. They put their best effort to capture every moment in the most special way. The most memorable part of our photography experience with Joel & Ma-anne was those difficult shots, specially the one with the “moon” scene. I had to walk over the large weeds with my wedding shoes hurriedly. It was hard but really worth it. That photo is my favourite. - RYE & MYRA |

You guys were amazing! While we love taking photos of ourselves and other people, we really don't have much experience being subjects of a professional photographer. That's why when you were taking our individual portraits, there was still some inhibition on our part. Yet, you knew how to make us as comfortable as possible and you also let us do our own thing. It was all worth it!. The execution of your vision of our wedding truly embodied what is by far the best day of our lives.
The most memorable part of having worked with Joel & Ma-anne would probably be after the ceremony when they were taking our couple portraits at the church. Our location was at an abandoned portion of the church at the second floor, and we sincerely had our doubts if the area would suffice for the portraits. It was dark, dusty, and clearly not the typical choice for a location shoot. However, Joel & Ma-anne astounded us with their talent when we saw the shots that they took of us in that place. Anyone who can work in such a condition and transform it to a dreamy location through the lens is a true artist. - ARMAN & MELODIE |

The best and right decision. No regrets at all! Joel and Ma-anne, thank you for being our wedding photographers and for all the efforts to document our big day extraordinarily! The photos are superb and exceptional! Both of you are really blessed with great talent. Thank you very much! - FROILAN & NODA |

It was divine! I booked them without a single meeting prior. I just based my decision on their outputs/portfolios and i never had even a single regret having them to cover our special day. We received a lot of compliments and we love the shots. They were very professional and they really know what they are doing. We're really thankful we got them and we will never think twice in having them again for our succeeding events. We love all the shots! They were very creative.
It is really worthy to invest on a reliable photo team. Photos will return you back where you were before whenever you look at them even when you're already old. - HAROLD & ANNE |

Having met the JHG team and having seen their work before the big day, Leo and I were very "kampante" or we were confident with the team's skills. Also, they're both friendly and easy to get along with, which really helped because you can't help but feel nervous and tense on your wedding. They made us feel comfortable, they gave us tips and helped us with our poses (because we're not used to getting our pictures taken), and they weren't finicky.
For me, the most memorable part was when I saw Joel crawl under a table to get a shot, and he was laughing and smiling the whole time. That, for me, was dedication and it showed me that he is very passionate about his craft. Also, he really enjoys what he is doing. In turn, that made me realize that I should also enjoy the moment, let go of the worries of the world, of the day, etc. - LEO & ANA |

The best! Joel and Ma-anne were very easy to work with but the same time very professional. We didn't have a hard time doing the shoot because they made us very comfortable with them.Our photos came out really beautiful. They were very creative and full of cool ideas! When we were shooting by the field together, We love the concept and we never though we'd be lying down on a grass field with my wedding gown while raindrops were falling. Everyone was just HAPPY and enjoying. - CARLO & FUCHETTE |

It was a good experience, Joel and Ma-anne knows how to put us at ease during the shoot, they are very professional, always on-time, very down to earth and has a very creative eye in catching artistic images. When we were shooting with our entourage outside the church, running away from giant Godzilla and causing traffic at the intersection at the roads, hehe wink wink! - EFREN & GRACE |

Since we had an E session and meetings with the Joel & Ma-anne to set our expectations before the our big day, it was a breeze and fun working with them. It was non-threatening since we are not used to posing and the team just allowed us to be ourselves and to enjoy the moment. Most valuable part of the experience is seeing all the photos taken by Joel and Ma-anne. It brings back all the emotions, memories and details we have prepared for that day. We are in AWE on how beautiful that day went and how JHG has captured it. - ORLANDO & KHARYLL |

If there is such thing as Golden Globe Award for wedding suppliers, we will give the BEST SUPPLIER award to JHG Photography! Rom and I followed our hearts and made the right decision to have JHG Photography document our wedding day. Joel's eyes are the window to capturing priceless moments. Thank you so much Joel and Ma-anne for doing an excellent job. Rom and I are truly honored to be photographed by two extremely talented individuals. All of it was memorable, we started with trying to get to know each other during the engagement session and we finished off as good friends after the wedding. What more can we ask for? - ROM & SHARON |
