There are times that we really feel close to our clients and co-suppliers as well. The feeling where we could get together, laugh out loud and just purely enjoy the day. And that is what exactly happened with Melitza and Anthony’s wedding. With a very warm and fuzzy feeling during the wedding day, everything just fell into place. And even though there were little mishaps, nothing and no one could stop these two from tying the knot. And we know for a fact that they truly belong to each other and grow old together. Love is strong this Yuletide Season. So may we share this wondering feeling with you guyz as we unfold another heartstory. Happy Holidays!

Yes! you’ve read it right. Maissie at 18 + 1. Here’s a treat for all our young viewers out there. After a series of wedding posts, who knew we could have a debut video in the middle of December. Although technically it was not a debut since its not the traditional age of 18 but instead it was her 19th birthday. Nevertheless it was a night of celebration filled with people who loves her dearly. Our beautiful birthday celebrant Maissie, did not consider studying in Europe as a hindrance of having a debut party here in Iloilo along with her friends and loved ones. So what better way to match her beauty and uniqueness, but to try something we’ve never done before, in terms of concept and editing style. Curious? Here’s “Maissie @ 18 + 1″ SDE. Happy Holidays everyone!

It’s not new to you guys that we cover and shoot weddings in Boracay and like we’ve said before, it seems like we’ve already made it like our second home. But last December 18, it did not feel like Boracay at all and yet we knew in our hearts that we’re home. For one, we were stationed at the back of Boracay and the view from our hotel room looks like we were at Tagaytay except Taal Volcano was no where in sight. Also, what made this wedding different or if I might say extra special was that we were surrounded by people whom we know and love. Like classmates and friends back when we were in school plus more. As for our couple Dave and Annette, we certainly adore them..couldn’t ask for a better couple. Both families, Filipino and Irish were in their highest spirits,bubbly and fun loving. And who says you can’t wear your Havaianas along with your wedding dress? Certainly not our bride. So for now, lights off please..as we unveil Dave and Annette’s “on the other side of Boracay” SDE. Cheers!!!

Song: Time after Time

Wouldn’t it be nice to find someone who shares the same interests with you? Someone whom you could talk to about anything and everything under the sun? What if both of you have the the same job? Wouldn’t life be so much easier? We know Alex and Elaine could share a thing or two, on how it truly feels having the same profession and sharing the same love at the same time. And so, if you are wondering why the doctors were out last December 17, watch Alex and Elaine’s SDE to see for yourself. Hold on to your seats everyone because the doctors are in…IN-LOVE thats is.Enjoy!

What makes a wedding successful? Is it because of the place? Is it because of the food? Is it because of the people who attended the ceremony; friends and family, or is it because everything went smoothly on that day? I bet its all of the above. But more than that, a wedding becomes a success if the two individuals getting married are in love and willing to spend the rest of their lives together. And so in a heart beat we could attest that with Paolo and Ria’s wedding, it was indeed a success.

Days before the wedding, we were exchanging messages with our couple to what song to use for their SDE, and we can’t quite put our finger on what to choose. Until luckily Paolo sent us a song title to which we have been wanting to use for a long time and based on what happened that day, we couldn’t agree more. Finally this day has come, for this is real and everything is all good. With that, truly their love is built to last.
