About

Hello there! Welcome to Purple Kite Studios!

We are a group of young and dynamic individuals who are passionate with weddings and studio portraits.

Work equals play, and play equals work – that’s our spirit. We believe that our beautiful imagery comes off natural when work becomes a creative play.

Our pictures – we call it WYSIWYGP (what you see is what you get photography). We take pride in our raw vibrant pictures straight from the camera. Just honest to goodness photography. Yes photoshop and post-processing is not bad at all, but what matters are the raw untouched images you keep. We produce these vivid photographs.

Our style – clean, vibrant, and playful. Keeping it simple but sharp. We are storytellers celebrating life, love, and laughter. That split-second of pure bliss, natural smiles, the perfect details, the intimate moments, the raw raw emotions. The word photo-journalistic may seem to be overused, that’s why we are calling it our work candid photography.

About Jayson and Joanne Arquiza

They are one of the pioneers’ husband-and-wife wedding photography team in the Philippines when they started their business in 2007.

Their style: fresh, real, relaxed, and unobtrusive. Capturing candid photos in an artistic narrative style – a unique mix of storytelling and fine art photography. Documenting the overall experience of a wedding day. Nothing fancy. They love it clean, crisp and warm, keeping photography honest while producing fun and natural imagery. More than the pictures they produce; it is the personal connection they develop with their clients that made them standout.

Career achievements: They have been named Top 5 weddings suppliers from 2007 to 2011 at the Weddings at Work – W@Wie Awards. Jayson was also recognized as a Certified Wedding Photographer (CWP) by the Weddings and Portrait Photographers of the Philippines (WPPP) –having won multiple awards from their monthly print competition since he joined in 2014.
