Probably the only time kids are encouraged to make a mess in the kitchen 😅
A full-on baking “fight” for their holiday card photos—flour everywhere, lots of laughs, zero rules.
So much fun capturing this chaos 🤍

Sharing a few more teasers—this time from and Art’s Western ceremony the following day. ✨

After a stunning Thai ceremony, day two brought a beautifully classic Western celebration set against the magic of Puerto Rico. From the emotions to the details, every moment felt timeless. Such an honor to capture it all.

Photographing and Art’s Thai Ceremony in Puerto Rico felt like witnessing two worlds come together in the most breathtaking way. Whitney’s Puerto Rican roots and Art’s Thai heritage blended so seamlessly, creating a celebration filled with color, meaning, and so much love.

Here are a few teasers from their gorgeous day at the stunning Levant restaurant inside —every moment was truly magic.

I often feel so incredibly lucky to do what I do. I’ve been a wedding photographer since 2008. Have I gotten burnt out these past 15 years? Not often do I feel that. But photographing my cousin’s wedding here makes me feel so proud of my 15 years of experience. I feel so lucky they chose ME to document their big day. Of course, being the crier that I am, I cried a handful of time on this day smearing my makeup. Love you, .miu and !
