Michael and Myra (now Mr. & Mrs. Valmonte) couldn’t have picked a more beautiful day to get married. Every detail of this wedding was perfect.
A moving ceremony was delivered by Monsignor Samson at St. Peter’s Church. We followed the ceremony with photos at the church, Legislative Building grounds, and finally St. Boniface Cathedrale.
Lesbia Sediles and her husband Tan, of Bodas Savvy Weddings, did an exceptional job coordinating the wedding day, and decorating the Skyview Ballroom that placed almost 600 guests. As usual, Gil Bueneventura of Floral Designs by Gil did an absolutely beautiful job with the flowers.

Thank you again to Mike and Myra. It was a real honour to witness your union, and a real pleasure to be asked to document your day!
It was a special delight being chosen by Bahandi and Maureen as the photographer for their wedding. Not only are they an attractive and outgoing couple, but together they represent a new generation of young leaders coming out of the Filipino community.
After a wonderful wedding ceremony at St. Peter’s Church on Keewatin, the couple and wedding party had an outstanding photo shoot at various indoor Winnipeg locations. We found a way to give the couple some “blue skies” even during the worst weather.
A reception at the Delta Winnipeg was to follow and it was non-stop action. A special instrumental ensemble performed by Bahandi’s brother, Saad, along with the couple’s son, Ebony, kicked off an evening of music and dance.
Bahandi and Maureen met as dancers for the Filipino dance group, Kayumanggi, and they wanted to honor that part of their lives and culture by performing a number of traditional folk dances during their reception. They also received a video thank-you from a community in the Philippines that Bahandi and Maureen have supported through their work with Gawad Kalinga building low cost, high quality homes for impoverished communities.
Congratulations Bahandi and Maureen and thank you for having us as part of your celebration!

As a wedding photographer, I have the opportunity to participate in one of the most important moments in a couple’s life. Sometimes this wonderful opportunity is made that much sweeter by watching individuals who have overcome significant challenges to take this happy step.
Mary Grace was known very early in life as Manitoba’s miracle baby. She was a preemie, born weighing only 1 lb, and one foot tall. These early challenges were reflected upon in her Father’s very moving speech at the reception where he talked about how she has blossomed into a strong, successful woman who’s found the true love of her life in Victor.
Victor and Mary Grace had a very beautiful, and unforgettable wedding day. We wish them all the best into the future!
It’s become the trend to show some photos before the actual web gallery has been posted, so below I’ve included some of my favourite images from the day. If you are family or friends of the couple, CLICK HERE to be notified when all of their pictures are ready for viewing.
