Marriott Hotel
Basilica Minore de San Sebastian

Serendipity (when one finds something that one was not expecting to find) ruled the stars the day they first met. That day, she was supposed to meet a good friend of hers. Instead, she met Christopher. One day led to five years. Russel Ann attests that they have never been apart in those five years since. Destiny led them to this altar date in May.

Every detail of their wedding was meant for them. From the magnificence of the Basilica Minore de San Sebastian where they professed their love, to the grandiose of their reception at the Marriott Hotel in Newport City Complex where they shared their love with family and friends, down to the wedding bands they now sport on their ring fingers. Everything fell into place, as destiny has written their love story.

If there is one thing that Christopher’s and Russel Ann’s story could tell us, that would be – love finds us when we least expect it, at a day and time we won’t totally have any idea about. So go out and let love find you!

Our best wishes to our newly weds!

When we get a wedding booking, we make sure we do everything right the first time. After all, for wedding filmmakers  like us, there are no second cuts or re-takes. But the pressure escalates when you get a second booking from the same family (of the bride) that trusted you before. Not to mention that the groom has been actively involved in the selection of videographers. Good thing we got a lot of help that day, from no other than the bride and groom themselves!

Jom and Precy were so relaxed, showing no signs of being emotional on their special day. Not even when their family and friends were shedding quiet tears of joy as they say their vows. The newly weds were so natural that they need no prodding for the cameras. And just as  light-hearted as they were, the couple even danced before everyone else during the reception. They were as they are, happy and in love, even as the world watches them dance and tease each other.

Congratulations Jom and Precy! Thank you for letting us live up to the trust.

“Happy birthday, Mommy…” is a song that is better heard at a birthday party than at a wedding. But not when the radiant bride, Teofi, is also celebrating her natal day on her nuptial day. The one offering her a song is no other than Samantha, the newlywed’s 2-year old daughter. Ryan is no stranger to our team’s lenses. He is the brother of one of my grooms, two years back. Now, as he gets his turn, he placed his trust on us, once again.

Amidst the demands of raising a family, the couple still chose to seal their vows of forever before the altar. As in Samantha’s words, “Palakpak!” She hit the right chords especially since that day is also her day. After all, it is a celebration of her parent’s love. She is the living proof.

Congratulations, Ryan and Teofi!
