HENRY and CHERIE Same Day Edit with UAV

What’s the temperature today, you say? I forgot how hot it was when we shot the footages for Henry and Cherie’s wedding. It was cool, I mean, perfect. Perfect moments are made of these – bright sun, relaxing breeze, clear sky, and even a calm sea. And completing the equation is our happy couple.

Henry and Cherie were the epitome of coolness, especially with their sunshiny attitude. How did they stay that way, despite the heat and the mixed emotions that usually preoccupy the bride and groom? They just kept smiling! I guess that’s one effective way to beat the summer heat. Thanks to both of you, our work seem like child’s play.

DERRIC and JOANNE Same Day Edit with UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle)

It’s easy to understand love at first sight, but how do we explain love after two people have been looking at each other for years?  ~ Anonymous

In a way, this sums up my cousin Derric’s love story. While it is true that Derric and Joanne are no spring chickens in the arena of love, they have both looked forward to their altar date here in the Philippines. They have been blessed with four children and are happily settled in the United States. But as we all know, and I think it is something we should take pride in, weddings are more fun in the Philippines, right?

So how do we explain this kind of love? No definitions or boundaries would suffice. It is simply a love that inspires because it knows how to withstand the challenges of time.

Congratulations and best wishes, Derric and Joanne!

Meynard and Madonna Cinematic Feature Film

The names are familiar, right? Yes, they were my couple client way back in October 2011. Though you may have seen their SDE here, I am sharing, this time, their full-length wedding film. After much collaboration on the songs they want included in the film, I think it is safe to say that they are now proud owners of a high definition wedding film, which they have starred in.

Now, that is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. What really blows me away is the fact that they are happy with my team’s work. It is always a pleasure to hear praises but I take to heart what my clients say about our work. With joyful tears, I share excerpts of  Madonna’s email to me:

Thanks a lot for the very nice output! For sure we’ll be watching it over and over again. Would also like to thank you for the good service, from reservation to the final output. I know we may not be as ‘big’ as your other clients, but you treated us without discrimination, and you gave us the right and professional service as a supplier. Thank you rin for keeping me cool during the preparations.

Well, that’s the thing. You don’t have to be a “big” client to get special treatment. Simply because, everyone gets special treatment. Every wedding is treated uniquely. We understand that the weddings you plan are your dreams in actions. And we do our best to capture all your moments – as they happen, when they happen.

I know this wedding film is just a little over 15 minutes. Just a quarter of an hour. But to Meynard and Madonna, this is timeless. Thank you for the trust!

JOHN and ANDREA Same Day Edit

John and Andrea’s wedding was both festive and dramatic. A countdown ushered their first day as husband and wife. Their union was met with thunderous applause from all their loved ones present. All these materialized because of a third party (a different kind of third party) – the officiating priest. The officiating priest or minister truly holds a big role on any wedding celebration. And in this wedding, the priest really livened up the celebration because he had so willingly shared the spotlight with the bride and groom. Our priest here smoothly glided between making the couple feel at ease with his light banter and in solemnizing the wedding rites. What a great start for John and Andrea!

Congratulations and best wishes!

Francis & Madelyn Same Day Edit

Fernbrook Gardens has gained steady popularity as a choice wedding venue for reel and real grand weddings. When Francis and Madelyn, both from Winnipeg in Canada, chose the said gardens, it was their turn to shine brightly in their own wedding film.

The long red carpet walk, the flowers that adorned the aisle, the placard that says, “here comes the bride,” were all little things silently heralding the big event. Yet, in their simplicity they were able to make bold expressions of what the day truly means for the bride and groom. Indeed, it was the day they both just once dreamed and prayed for. But with their destiny within reach, they have now starred in their movie of a lifetime.

Here comes the bride dressed all in white.
Radiant and lovely she shines in his sight.
Gently she glides graceful as a dove.
Meeting her bridegroom her eyes full of love.

Congratulations and best wishes, Francis and Madelyn!

CHED & CHE Same Day Edit with UAV

Do you think this is romantic?
“I thank God that I met you in this lifetime because I would not have wanted to share my life with anybody other than you.”

Or perhaps this?
“I vow to have coffee with you everyday, for the rest of my life. Until we are old and suffering from palpitations and insomnia.”

Either way, both lines came from Ched’s marriage vow. Remember Ched and Che? This save-the-date video will surely refresh your memory. They are the couple that had to endure the distance of their relationship, with him being in Singapore, and her in the Philippines. But the distance doesn’t seem to matter to these two lovebirds. Che receives 4 dozens of flowers every month from Ched, without fail all throughout their ‘monthsaries.’ So when Ched delivered his vows in a heartfelt way, it came as no surprise. But still, his every word brought tears of joy to his bride.

Though obviously overwhelmed, Che’s demure countenance shone through. She said, with certainty and devotion, “I love you and I will be your strength forever.”

Congratulations, Ched and Che!

CHRISTOPHER & CHRISTINE Same Day Edit with UAV

Clear skies + warm sun + relaxed breeze = Blissful wedding day!

Christopher and Christine got these elements in the right doses. With everything falling into place in the church ceremony, it was natural to expect that the reception would be as calm. But little did we know that the newlyweds prepared a stellar dancing performance. And dance well, they did! Who would have thought that a couple’s first dance could turn out at par with professional performance? Well, watch the video as a proof.

Congratulations Christopher and Christine! Let the world be your dance floor. Keep groovin’!

TEEJAY & GRACE Same Day Edit with UAV

“Go for it! Go for it!”

Pop quiz time. These words could very well be coming from:
a coach to his ward, much like saying, “Go for the gold!”
a dad to his son, during a basketball game
a priest after saying, “You may now kiss the bride.”

The correct answer is C. At the sight of the newlyweds too shy to kiss, the priest clearly egged them to do so. “Go for it!” It was an instruction no new newlywed couple could refuse. Teejay and Grace obeyed the officiating priest in an instant.

In my many years as a wedding videographer, I have observed that many emotions rule a wedding, no matter what. There’s joy, nervousness, calm, and excitement. But what really strikes me most every time is when I see the groom and his reaction upon seeing his bride walk down the aisle. I make sure I catch this. For me, it is priceless.

Congratulations, Grace and Teejay!
