People say true love comes in all shapes and sizes. Love grows unexpectedly and love is proven unconditionally. What we have witnessed in one of our most recent weddings, is really what we consider true love. Love from family..love from friends and love from Jerico and Marizel to one another. Pure bliss from start to end. And speaking of love, we truly loved the first part of Tuesday’s vows, it showed her real comic and funny personality even on her special day ..here are some excerpts ” Coy, Nais kong magpasalamat sa maraming beses mong pagsagip sa buhay ko mula sa bangin…Kahit ano pa mang mangyari..dumami man ang ampon nating pusa..Malaos man tayo na d mangyayari kasi d pa naman tayo sikat…Haharapin natin ang lahat ng yan na magkasama at magkahawak kamay.. “. Cheers guys!

Ahhh! The Beach! It will never get old to us especially now that Summer is hotter than ever. And so we will feature another Boracay wedding to cool us down under the scourging heat of the sun. We met Kitty and Alfred the day before their wedding and they’ve been both so generous with us. And even though there were times that we didn’t understand what they’re talking about (between them and the guests), we knew that they were all happy. Cheers to a good marriage!

Whenever we shoot weddings, most of the guests get teary-eyed when the couples say their vows. Not out of jealousy or joy, but because they’re seeing two people who solemnly and whole-heartedly promise to to be the everything of each other’s life. Gerlyn and Carlo are two individuals who made love really worth celebrating! Both are young..and both are inlove. It was indeed a celebration! Party all DAY long! See for yourself Cheers!

For about a year we’ve been traveling like crazy from one country to another. We’ve seen a lot of amazing places, breathtaking views and serene beaches, met a lot of people and covered a lot of destination weddings, but, nothing beats white powdered sands, calm blue waters and a perfect sunset view. …It is the beach that is the closest to our hearts… Where else but in the beautiful island of Boracay, Philippines. True to what I wrote earlier, it is indeed the most perfect place to tie the knot. There is something about the island that makes everyone feel at home. Probably the ambiance and warm hospitality of the locals and, of course, the after wedding parties are always a blast.. A recent wedding in Boracay actually proves my point.

Here’s one of Fish Leong’s Music Video

In a world of stars and celebrities, who would ever think that we would meet such funny, humble and amazing people? The first time we heard that we are going to be covering the wedding of one of the hottest stars in Taiwan and Malaysia, we were so giddy and excited. I’m talking about none other than Fish Leong and Tony Chao. It was an intimate and truly heartfelt experience, especially, since it was done at the beautiful island of Boracay Philippines. Everybody and everything looked so perfect during that day thanks to the best coordinator in Boracay, Amanda Tirol.

We know words cannot describe the magical feeling we had when they tied the knot, so why don’t we share with you the SDE we made just for them.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me present to you one of our recent couples for the month of January.. Richie and Alex. This wedding has got to be our first real pressure for this year. Why? We had people from the Ad and Film industry as guests. Actually Richie is a director himself, and he is actually quite good at it (click here for his works). But nevertheless, the couple were great that we don’t mind doing this all over again. Perhaps after 10 years for their anniversary? And I bet Alex would still look amazing. The wedding was flawless, big thanks to Amanda and of course the wedding Rocks! These folks definitely know how to party that at the end of the day everybody went home happy and satisfied. Feel the sincerity of the wedding through the SDE we made for them.

It’s really heartwarming to receive such great compliments after a hard day’s work. Here’s an email we got the other day that we would LOVE to share..and trust me our hearts melted like popsicles in a hot summer day. We love you Richmond and Jocelle

“Hi guys!!

Jocelle Evangelista”

Let me stress out that this was our first time covering an Iglesia ni Cristo wedding and so we did all necessary preparations in order to bring out all the best emotions even though there might be some restrictions. Thankfully, people from Iglesia ni Cristo were so nice to us that they made us shoot whatever we want but with discretion of course. Plus they have a really pro coordinator by their side to help them up. Amanda is “the bomb”! (quote from the couple themselves.) ;p

Tip: We’ve always wanted to try the “all glide track shots” intro and so finally, we did it through Richmond and Jocelle’s SDE. Since the song was not really fast nor too slow, we made sure to cover the most natural audios we could ever gather to really feel the reality of what happened that day.

Hope you guys enjoy this one!

Shangri-la Boracay

We’ve been hearing a lot of things about this newly constructed Shangrila Hotel in Boracay. And believe me it has been creating a really big buzz especially when it comes to Hollywood celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Don’t forget that our very own local celebrity couple (newly married couple) Ryan and Judy Ann spent their honey moon there too! So yes, we were quite intrigued by the place. And when we finally saw it, it was truly worth every penny spent. With great staff, excellent service and a truly remarkable holiday ambiance, it’s a perfect place to be with the one you love, and an equally perfect location if you want to finally tie the knot! No wonder our beautiful couple, Denise and Jorgen affirmed their marriage vows there. So now I am very pleased to present to you our new celebrity couple Denise and Jorgen’s SDE. Gotta love Boracay!
