Hey! It's Denise.
The face behind Denise Pauline Photography.
I've always had an interest in photography since I was at a young age. If it weren’t for my aunt in the philippines who introduced me to cameras and showed me the magic of capturing moments we never want to forget, I wouldn’t be here today (I was born there but grew up in Canada). My dad bought me my first camera when I was 12 years old and ever since then it never left my vicinity. After high school, I practiced by photographing friends and family for fun, but by 2018/'19 I knew this was something I truly wanted to pursue and was very passionate about. What turned into ‘just for fun’ turned into wow, this is actually my thing!
When I’m not behind the lens, you can usually find me sipping on anything SF iced latte (no matter the season), hanging out or walks with my girly pop SKY(she's half pom, we believe), at the gym, or dreaming up my next travel adventure. I believe every chapter of your story deserves to be told beautifully, and I can’t wait to help you create something timeless.
Lifestyle Portrait and Wedding Photographer for all things love.
BEHIND THE lens
I'm Denise
You’re dreaming of wedding photos you’ll obsess over for years—the kind you’ll frame, flip through, and relive over and over again.
If this is your vibe, I’d love to be your photographer.
You’re all about the little details—the way your partner squeezes your hand, the happy tears, the champagne toasts at sunset.
You love timeless, natural images that capture the feeling of your day, from belly laughs to quiet, stolen glances.
You want wedding photos that feel real, effortless, and full of emotion—not stiff, awkward, or overly posed.
You’re My Kind of Couple If...
