About

Nothing compares to the energy you get while being surrounded by nature. It’s a moment to completely recharge, as if going back to the beginning, where inspiration translates to creativity. This is where I always feel home.

ABOUT ME

“Jaja is known for her elegant and naturally stunning photographs. Her keen mastery makes for beautifully lit “sunny from within” photos that exude happiness and warmth. Her style is definitely a standout for effortless natural beauty that is vibrant and easy on the eyes.” – Metro Weddings Magazine featured in Top Wedding Photographers in the Industry

Hello! I am Jaja Samaniego, a wedding and portrait photographer.

I find people in love fascinating and it is the subject of many of my work. It deserves to be captured in its most natural and immaculate form. I love taking sunny-from-within photographs and it is my goal to let the bride and groom remember their wedding day as the happiest day of their lives through energetic, vibrant and elegant fine art photographs.

I’m a part time Photography professor at De La Salle University. An ounce of hard work and a little pixie dust has brought me to riveting travels here and abroad.

Im humbled to say that my works have been published in wedding magazines and featured in wedding blogs around the world including Metro Weddings Magazine, Wedding Essential Magazine, Philippine Tatler, Martha Stewart Weddings, The Wedding Notebook, Bride and Breakfast and Bridestory and many more.

Thank you for visiting my online portfolio. For inquiries, send me a message at hello@jajasamaniego.com. I would love to hear from you.
