Joel + Carolyn – Tinghun


Shot with Zeus Martinez and Rain Pangindian

My friend Zeus asked me, less than two weeks before the event, if I can shoot the Tinghun/Chinese engagement party of Joel Pedro and Carolyn Tan-Chi. Without batting an eyelash, I said yes. Carolyn is the daughter of Pastor Peter Tan-Chi, the senior pastor of CCF, where I regularly attend Sunday service. Pastor Peter and his family have been an inspiration to us and it would be such a privilege to shoot Carolyn’s engagement. I knew I had a shoot in the afternoon though, but I was glad that they still allowed me to shoot although I needed to leave early.

I’ve heard Edric speak several times in CCF and they were both speakers at the Before I Do Pre-marriage seminar, which I had the privilege of attending (don’t ask). This couple is such an inspiration. I highly recommend Joy’s blog on homeschooling and parenting. I enjoy reading it though I don’t have my own family yet 🙂
