First, for the ones from NCR, Luzon, Visayas and others, it’s pronounced as “Bu-tuan” and not any other.  The other possible pronunciation might be mistaken for something else’s member, so be careful.

That said, the wedding of Elizabeth & Melchor might be one of the most relaxed we’ve done as everything was, as Zohan says, “silky smooth”.  Thanks to Darling of Blissful Moments, from the makeup, pictorial, church and reception party.  Everything was on-schedule.  And oh, the bridge pictorial (below) holds its own too.

As for Elizabeth, she’s a bride we won’t forget.  As she was the first one we’ve shot that really really took her time walking down the aisle.  And that’s good, because it’s her day.

Watch their onsite video.  Aim high Butuan!  ;)

We did start our day right, well almost, as the weather made it slightly difficult during her birthday.

But hey, when you’re young, doing good in school, and is getting your dream debut celebration, you simply can’t complain.

Yvy’s been texting me regarding her debut vid since last week.  She said na she’s very excited na and to tell her right away if it’s done.  I think she didn’t read the contract that our submission date will be months pa. 

Good thing I made her this AVP. 

I wasn’t expecting it to be a big celebration as when Yvy first came to us, she was the only one preparing for her debut.  Little did I know it would be one of the grandest celebration we’ll be covering. 

From the flowers, event setup and guests, the event screams BIG.  It doesn’t hurt also that she’s the granddaughter of a very popular and well-loved Cagayan de Oro politician.
