Philippines Travel Photography
Philippines Travel Photography
We spent a week doing some Philippines travel photography. Capturing the amazing landscapes and friendly locals on the beautiful islands of Cebu, Bohol and Panglao. After arriving in Cebu we took a small plane to Bohol. The first few images were photographed from the plane, on the short 20 minute flight between the islands. The sunrises and sunsets in the Philippines are absolutely spectacular, so we had some early starts to capture the best light.
There’s an amazing range of hills in Bohol called The Chocolate Hills. They got their name from the grass that turns a chocolate colour at the end of the dry season. We caught them when they were green and lush. We took a boat trip on one of the local Philippines boats called a Paraw or Pump Boat, which is a double outrigger boat native to the Visayas region of the Philippines. For our visit we were treated to a native dance from some of the locals. We also saw Virgin Island off Panglao which is a very small white sandy island with trees growing out of the water. Locals had set up a small market on the island with fresh coconuts for sale!
Natural Beauty
We dived with whale sharks, went Canyoneering (jumping off waterfalls!) and saw a fantastic sunset on our last night which is the featured image on this page. One of the most amazing moments was as we were snorkelling and a turtle swam along with us for a few minutes. All in all a fantastic location for travel photography and just generally seeing the beauty of these amazing islands. The locals are a friendly bunch and we loved how warm and welcoming they were. Always happy to share their culture and not asking for anything in return. If you wish to see more of my travel photography click on the link HERE
Lucy and Brad’s Lanzarote wedding photography
Lanzarote wedding photography
Lucy and Brad’s were married at The Costa Calero Hotel in Costa Calero, Lanzarote. We photographed the bridal preparations and then headed over to the groom and the ushers getting ready at their apartments in Puerto Del Carmen. After that we then headed back over for the final bride photos with her bridesmaids helping her finishing off get ready. It was a beautiful sunny day and the colours were so vivid, as with all our Lanzarote wedding photography.
Outside Ceremony
They had an outside ceremony on the terrace of the Costa Calero Hotel and had a sand ceremony where the bride and groom mixed sand together to signify the joining of their two families. It was in the colours of the groom’s football team! After the register was signed we did a few family photos on there before all the guests walked out onto the steps for a group photo. The bride and groom had a few photos taken around the pool area before we went into the reception for speeches and cake cutting.

Abby and Chris got married at the Hesperia Hotel in Costa Calero and then walked along the beach to Amura Restaurant. We photographed the bridal preparations in a great room looking out over the swimming pool at the Hesperia. The bride, her parents and her bridesmaids were all there for some great preparation photos before walking down to the wedding ceremony which took place on a grassy area overlooking the sea across to Fuerteventura. We captured some great moments as the bridesmaids and her mum helped the bride get ready, then headed over to see the groomsmen and photographed some portraits of them on the private beach at the bottom of the Hesperia grounds.
Beach Photos
After the ceremony we took a few photos on the beach with the palm tress as a backdrop and then headed over to the Amura restaurant for the wedding reception. The bride and groom arrived by speed boat as a surprise for all the guests. After making their grand entrance the bride and groom chatted to their guests. We captured some informal photos as everyone supped champagne and enjoyed the sunshine
Live Music
Everyone danced to some live music on the balcony before heading inside for the wedding breakfast and speeches. As well as the traditional speeches the bride, chief bridesmaid and groom’s father also said a few words. After dinner it was time to cut the cake which had a seaside theme with two starfish on the top. Finally the first dance took place, again with live music for the guests to enjoy.
