We were looking for a team that will not compromise quality to accommodate our budget. We also wanted the photos to be as authentic as possible. Kelaya created a package that went above and beyond our expectations while being within our budget. Our requirements were taken note of and the final product is of high quality. The team is composed of experienced street photographers who really captured the intimate moments with our family and friends. We had so much fun during the shoot. The photographers are funny and professional. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day.
Kelaya is a great collaborator. They provided us with a personalized experience by establishing a relationship with us. Other photographers may make their same-day edits the highlight of the day, however, Kelaya made sure to highlight us and our guests by capturing authentic and intimate moments as we required. The final product was also delivered without delay. We were also given access to all of the photos.

Budget aside, the first consideration is the style/vibe of the photographer and the location. Kelaya, despite being based in Manila and Cavite most of the time, managed to get the team to Laguna to shoot us during the prenup and during the wedding itself. They arrive on time and complete with their gears. Meetings were done online and they were also very responsive in Messenger if ever we have questions.
They also suggest ideas for consideration given the vibe of the location of the shoot and also incorporating my husband and I’s personality. They have so many ideas available for our consideration and we really appreciated it as it helped us become comfortable during the shoot itself. The photographers are very fun to be with and they handled us professionally. They taught us how to pose and ask us if we are comfortable or not in every set. During the wedding, they were very attentive and was able to shoot unscripted behind-the-scenes, making our wedding a fun moment to look back to. They were able to capture spontaneous moments and reactions because of their attention to detail. They were also easy to communicate with after the prenup shoot and after the event. The rare, genuine, and heartfelt moments were captured and with minimal enhancements.
After we saw the output, we couldn’t imagine how they were able to capture moments from different angles, and stack some images to remove the unnecessary background. The effort, skills and time it took to capture those images and enhance them is extraordinary. They go above and beyond their promise. They were also very friendly and professional that even the wedding coordinators did not have a hard time with them during the wedding. From start to finish, we are so thankful that we have Kelaya with us. The team was fun to work with!

When we were looking to hire photographers, our biggest concerns was making sure that the style aligns with Ryan and I’s vision and finding the best quality of output at a reasonable cost. Not only were we satisfied with the output, but we eneded up feeling that we paid the team less than what they deserve.
This team is honestly very passionate about their craft and gives their 100% from the very start, to the very end. Their service and talent exceeded our expectations. Ryan and I’s favorite thing about Kelaya is the bond we shared with them. We worked very closely with all our suppliers (or at least we try) but of all of them, Kelaya is our favorite.
All of our encounters with them are both productive and fun, and we felt very comfortable which as a result made the shoot very natural and efficient. The hours you spend on meetings and planning with your clients prior to the shoot to ensure that you capture your clients’ visions and requests is what made you stand out. You have a different set of approach, technique, and style in each event unlike other photographers who has the same style each time.
RYAN & CAROL
Our basis when we were looking for a team to cover our wedding was the quality of the output, our comfortability with the photographers and if they will be able to execute the style what we wanted.
Kelaya addressed our concerns and made sure we were comfortable. The team listened and executed our requests, concerns and demands very well. Our favorite thing about working with Team Kelaya was their professionalism, creativity and them being easy going. During the whole shoot (both prenup and wedding day), we didn’t feel restricted and we were able to be ourselves.
Kelaya listens to their clients and work really well. We really felt comfortable during each shoot and the quality of photos are really topnotched.
RAYMOND & BETINA
When we were looking for photographers, output and price were the primary factors while also considering for the punctuality, referral or has social media presence or length of being active in the wedding industry. We were thinking if our desired theme will be flawlessly executed by the team. We were working on a specific budget but we want to find a team that was reasonably priced but can also deliver at the same time.
We want to find a team we can trust that has a proven quality service as there were many scammers in the industry, also when the wedding is done, some photographers produce mediocre output and do not deliver the promised album to the client.

Pre-nuptial Shoot: 10/10 - Team Kelaya is AMAZING! 10/10 talaga!!! Twice lang kami nag virtual meeting, since zero knowledge naman ako pagdating sa mga theme for our videos, konting trivia lang nabigay ko at wala ako halos masabi during our meeting. Hindi ko alam ano at paano ang magiging flow, as in no idea din anu din ba dapat kong itanung. The only thing na sinabi ko is "Gusto ko ipakita how we started as a couple" Then BBBOOOMMM! It was created! Pupuntahan kana lang nila na ALAM na nila lahat! Nagawan nila agad ng story yung konting trivia na binigay ko! Di ko alam pano sasabihin yung gusto kong maging flow pero nagawa nila kung ano yung gusto ko! Mas maganda pa nga kesa sa ideyang hindi ko naman masabi!
Output: 10/10 - The team is really SUPERB! Before wedding day nabisita na nila church, preparation and reception area. Para during your wedding, alam na alam na nila saan sila pepwesto etc.! Wala ka ng iintindihin, susunod ka na lang sakanila! Lahat ng request and notes mo, for sure alam na alam nila! Pinaubaya ko na sakanila pano magiging flow. Hindi kami nagkamali na nagtiwala kami sa Team Kelaya. Kasi ilang ulit ko ng tinitignan and pictures namin at hanggang ngayon nakangiti ako! Ang sarap balik balikan!
Time: 10/10 - Never silang nalate, mapa-meeting man or during the event, prenup and wedding! Lagi silang maaga! During our wedding 7am ang call time pero before 5am nasa preparation area na sila! Sa prenup shoot naman , nabiten kami sa oras, so nag extend kami, kahit malalayo pa uuwian nila, di mo sila makikitaan ng minamadali ka at hindi ka rin nila mamadaliin para matapos lang!
Communication : 11/10 - Ikaw nalang mahihiya sa kabaitan nila! They are all professional. Masaya lang sila lagi. Lahat sila friendly! Since di naman araw-araw may camerang sumusunod sayo, ipaparamdam lang nila na dapat mag enjoy ka! Be natural and feel the moment lang. Kasi mukhang nag eenjoy din sila pag nag eenjoy ka!
Price is 10/10 - Sulit yung ibabayad mo! Super ganda ng quality!
Team Kelaya was punctual and on track with the wedding timeline. We had an easy and fun wedding because of the team. The photos were natural and not “PILIT”. The outputs exceeded our expectations. Me and my husband Mac, can really feel that the team has a passion for photography. While it is their work, they do enjoy at the same time and it really sets the vibe in a wedding.
MELO & HEIDY
When we were looking to hire a team for the photo coverage of our wedding, our biggest concern was the photo outcome (digital copies/wedding album/prints), and the relationship with the team (if masungit ba with instructions or what). Kelaya first set a meeting before booking our event date to set expectations and get to know each other. The team was very accommodating with our requests/quirks which made us comfortable. Super friendly team! They know how to loosen us up and gave directions for better pictures.
They stood out from other photographers because of their work ethics and dynamics. We were fortunate to have more people from Kelaya on the day and we didn't encounter any issue/problem with any of them. They came early and started right away. Very coordinated and strict that we meet our goal as a couple to not see each other before the ceremony.

Marami ang nagsabi sa amin, there is no perfect wedding. Di maiiwasan yung aberya. But, OUR WEDDING DAY FELT SOOOO PERFECT. Kelaya's team is so fun and professional. Ang gaan nila kasama sobra! Nagwo-worry kaming mag asawa nung una kasi di naman kami sanay mag pose and everything but they made it feel so easy. Kung pwede lang kami magpakasal weekly, sila at sila pa rin ang pipiliin naming magshoot sa amin. Sobra kaming nag-enjoy from preps, first look, during the wedding and sa post nuptial. The whole day was fun! Isa sila sa dahilan kung bakit sobrang memorable ang wedding namin. Buti nalang sila ang nakuha namin! It was one of the best decisions that we've made and they are a blessing to us. Thank you Tem Kelaya! You're the best! GREAT JOB! SUPER HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! God bless and more clients to come!

I highly recommend Kobi. He was so professional and kind. The photographs were amazing! My spouse was nervous about doing a photo shoot and does not like having photos taken. Kobi did a warm up and my spouse enjoyed the photo shoot! We ordered large prints from Kobi and love seeing them every day on our wall. I will definitely use his services again.
