We were able to know the couple Jayson and Joanne during the birthday of our niece. On that special occasion we noticed how good their services are. And when we asked the coordinator of our wedding, their names are the ones who surfaced from brood of potential photographers in the industry. They know how to take care of their clients. Even when they are tired coming from different wedding coverages, of different countries they manage to squeeze in our prenup though it was a long drive and they had to climb the trail going to the mountains and on our actual wedding day they unceasingly manifested the good vibes though it could be so tiring capturing the poses and smiles of our beloved guests.
We were so happy with how the pictures turned out to be, candid and natural that they did not have to edit the different emotions that had been seen on the said wedding of ours. Their work is indubitably impeccable in their own right and with that we would like to convey our heartwarming thanks for being part of a momentous day.

Planning a wedding and finding a photographer who will work with you from outside the Philippines is no easy feat. We found Jayson and Joanne through a family recommendation that shot their wedding a couple of years ago. We then decide to email them and in an instant, they replied quickly. We were going back and forth with our questions and felt very comfortable with them. What stood out compared to everyone else were their quick replies and making us feel important. In addition they have a website where you can see their past work. We finally decided to ask them to shoot our engagement and wedding photos.
Passionate, a great storyteller, and professional are words to describe Jayson and Joanne work when they shot our wedding on April of 2013.
The day of our wedding Jayson and Joanne showed up early in the morning at our hotel to take great pictures of us getting ready. They had two teams ready for us. One team went with the bride and the other for the groom. I was impressed on how prepared they were and the creative shots they took of us.
If you also have a chance to add the onsite photo slideshow, I would HIGHLY recommend them doing it. They did an impressive job making the onsite photo slideshow. Our friends and family were so mesmerized at the end of the night they asked who did the onsite slideshow.
We just received our pictures from them recently and the pictures look awesome! This was probably one of the best investments we made for the wedding and I would highly recommend Jayson and Joanne.
You guys are Amazing! Cheers for that. Thank you! Take care always and God bless..♥ 😀

Booking Jayson and Jo Anne wasn’t a difficult decision. We did shortlist a few other photographers but when my mom and dad went to their office to officially meet them, the list was cut short. We were so convinced that we wanted them. Looking at their portfolio, we saw that their shooting style was what we were looking for: capturing the truly unguarded moments revealing the true emotion behind every photograph.
During our engagement shoot, it didn’t feel like it was our first time meeting them. They were both so professional yet so warm, making us feel at ease in front of their lenses. Not long after, we knew we did the right thing.
On our wedding day, they delivered so well, you can sense the passion they have for their craft. They made not only us, but all of the guests comfortable hence, they were able to elicit the genuine smiles from each one who faced the camera. We heard nothing but compliments from everyone. When we saw the output of what our day has been, we were more than content. Jayson and Jo Anne caught the tears and the smiles. Looking at the photos, we are always brought back to our day. They made us beautiful memories to hold on to.

I still thank God I was able to book the spouses. First off, Jo Anne Arquiza has a laser eyes and uncanny sense for details. She makes small non-living things speak and breathe. Seriously. Jayson Arquiza’s quick fingers captures every bit of emotion millimeter by millimeter. He is crazy about colors and sticks to the natural. Mark this blog for these two will bankrupt Photoshop soon. Their so-called “raw photos” are sooo good, no editing needed.

Choosing suppliers for the wedding is never easy cause every couple just want the best for their once in a lifetime moment! … And indeed we had a not so easy experience but it’s all worth it!
Both of us are not based in pinas (because of our work) ..so back then when we were preparing for our wedding we always make it a point that everytime we go home we would be able to settle the things needed as much as we can.. There was one time that we went home for a wedding fair and one of the major things that we would want to settle then was the photographer.. There were a lot of great deals in the fair which would really make you stop and think but we were really looking for something that we know we would not regret and will not make us have a second thought.. cause photographer for us is really important..they will capture the emotions and memories that could only be seen on that very moment! The fair went on.. but we weren’t able to close a deal on the first day.. So we returned the next day with the big hope that we could finally settle it but then again we failed.
And oh yes! We realized that it was bacause in our hearts we wanted Jayson and Joanne Arquiza to be our photographer but they were not in that fair. So we tried to make appointment with them on that same day and lucky us that they were still able accommodate us despite the fact that it was a short notice, was already a little late at night and most especially that was the night before their flight to Japan. From that moment, we don’t know but we were really happy that we were feeling so comfortable and sure that we have chosen the perfect one for us and true enough that until now we could still say that “we have really chosen the perfect photographer”!.. They were very accommodating and comfortable to be with from the time we have signed contract with them… to the prenup session where they always tried to make things bubbly and fun … and until the big day where they made things light, enjoyable and just simply feeling great.
We are really grateful that despite the so much nervousness that we had on our big day, they still managed to make things smooth for us… their whole team always have the “stress free aura”! (really thumbs up for that guys!)
We love our photos and really having hard time to choose cause every shot has its own story to tell. Jayson and Joanne really have a sharp talent on photography… they are incredibly good in finding the best angle and emotion. Their photos are really clear and bright which for us are very important cause that really show the trueness of the memory and that will always bring us back to that special day! To you, Jayson and Joanne.. We will infinitely treasure your AWESOME works! Big THANKS! Keep it up! God bless!Francis Lucero and Sheila Abary // 29 September 2012

I was a nervous, excited, anxious Bride that morning. A lot of things were running in my mind while I was having my hair done. But all of these worries just disappeared when Jayson & Jo Anne arrived. The overall mood in the room changed, everyone was more at ease, relaxed and just plain happy. They were pros – not just in taking superb photos, but also in capturing our hearts. I am really grateful on how they just bring out the good vibes! They have the killer combo = Delightful charisma + Impressive photography!
Jayson & Jo Anne are artists who can easily capture even the most intimate, the most candid, the most dramatic shots very naturally. Our families and friends are impressed with their work. Everyone loved the AVPs they prepared. Everyone enjoyed smiling for them. They are just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Perhaps the most ‘likes’ you’ll ever have on your Facebook will be photos taken by them. 🙂 They are that good! 🙂
Jayson & Jo Anne, we wish you all the best! More power, more good vibes!!! 🙂 Thank you soooo much!
