Emerald and Wilmon SDE: Davao
Dec 6th
Oftentimes we chase what we believe our heart wants without knowing what lies ahead. But because of our love for each other, any obstacles, big or small, we can overcome.
Here’s an example of chasing someone with all your heart. Emerald and Wilmon’s wedding SDE at Eden Nature Park in Davao City.
Pamela and Chester SDE
Nov 29th
“Dreams do come true…”
That’s the line written on their giveaways for the guests. When we were younger, we all once dreamt of how we want our future to be. Part of it is having the lifetime partner of your dreams. And Pamela and Chester found it in each other. 
The song I chose for the SDE, coincidentally, is entitled “Teenage Dream”. A cover of Katy Perry’s by Tyler Ward. Cheers!
Jane and Cedric SDE: Davao
Nov 17th
We’re back in Davao. This is the first stop of 4 remaining stops for us this year in this wonderful city.
Having just met the couple on the day of the wedding, I thought we had a little catching up to do. But it didn’t take long as we were comfortable with them almost immediately.
Here’s what transpired on that day. Cheers!
Milo Little Olympics 2010
Nov 15th
We were fortunate enough to shoot a video for the Milo Little Olympics 2010 held last October all throughout Cagayan de Oro City. Though a challenge because of the multiple locations for the various sports events held simultaneously, our energy coped up because of the free-flowing Milo drinks.
Here’s the trailer. Special thanks to Ma’am Nenette Capaning of Magis Events for the opportunity.
Rhea and Jeff SDE
Oct 25th
The song Rhea wanted us to use for the SDE was very popular in wedding videos before. Though we often sway couples into not choosing the ones overused in SDEs, how can we persuade them when their ringing tones and the bride’s entrance music is the same song?
”And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration. One good stretch before our hibernation.” 2 lines from the song “Stolen” that I found so applicable to the couple during the reception. As I was somehow a witness as to how stressful and exciting their wedding preparations were. And now that they are finally married, and leaving for their island honeymoon, nobody deserves it better than Rhea and Jeff.
Here’s Rhea and Jeff’s wedding SDE. Where we surprised them both with their exchange of gifts.

Nikki and Glen Prenup & SDE
Oct 21st
The Prenup – from the planning stages of the prenup shoot, the locations, the visa, the schedule and the shooting days itself. It wasn’t easy. So much story went behind this extraordinary experience. From the immigration harassment, the end-of-summer Dubai weather, and the difficulty of shooting with a one-man crew. It was a challenge that I was proud to pull off.
Dubai is such a wonderful city, one of the most beautiful I’ve visited so far. So thankful to Nikki and Glen for the great opportunity I had in shooting their prenup there.
Here’s the prenup video, shot on location, in Dubai, UAE.
The Wedding – Planning a wedding 7,000 kilometers away from home is no easy feat. But for a couple this so much in love, nothing’s impossible. Though they were supposed to wed in an intimate setting in Dubai, they realized, as all other out-of-the-country based couples did, nothing beats a wedding from home.
Here’s their SDE.

Nikki and Glen: Dubai Teaser
Oct 3rd
Was in Dubai for 10 days. Here’s a teaser of what we came up with during that time.
Thank you Nikki and Glen. It was an exciting and exhilarating experience.
Farrah and Bong Teaser: Singapore
Sep 9th
My very first shoot outside the country. Singapore is known for many things. Their clean streets, beautiful buildings, and honest cab drivers.
Here’s a teaser of Farrah and Bong’s Singapore prenup.
Kristina and Lupe SDE: Samal Island
Sep 4th
PERFECT. The first word that I can say about Kristina and Lupe’s big day. Everything just fell right into place during this wedding.
The weather. The guests. The venue. The couple.
I better just show you what I mean. Here’s Kristina and Lupe’s SDE. Cheers!
