Julie + Marlon
Dec 25th
Our first Christmas Eve wedding.
The couple said it’s a tradition in Marlon’s family that they get married on the 24th of December.
This is the first time we mixed the prenup shots with the onsite.
Hope you enjoy the video. Merry Christmas!

Dec 14th
“Can I kiss my bride now?” - Jason’s question to the officiating minister during their exchange of vows made the whole congregation burst into laughter. While the pastor answered, “Not yet, this is not the time. This is not the time.”
That defined their wedding day. Happy and relaxed, with a few “excited” moments. 
Catherine and Jason were meant for each other, according to the pastor. Both are chinese. Both have similarities with each other. Both religious. Both have the same number of siblings. Even their dads look alike. Only God can do this. We agree.
Check out their onsite video.

Dec 11th
Chiery is one of those girls that others want to be: she’s pretty, a beauty pageant finalist, and a very good singer. Her parents, especially her Mom is really proud of her. That’s why they wanted to make her debut extra special.
We made it extra special too.

Joan + Chuck
Dec 8th
I found this on their weddingannouncer.com webpage:
It was never “love at first sight“.
It was “the more you hate, the more you love”.
That is what Joan had written there. While for Chuck, after he saw her pass by in a hospital entrance, wrote:
“Time never stopped as some love stories often told. There were no melodies or the rampant beating of the heart. There was only me and a part of me that walk by.”
Eventually they became a couple and after a year “of being so deeply and crazily in love with each other,” they made a choice.
Here is a little documentation of that event. Enjoy!

Some info from this prenup shoot:
- We went to 6 different locations in this video.
- The van we rode for the entire shoot was brand new, as in it was just released the day before.
- I thought we were gonna move the shoot to the another day because it was raining hard in the morning, good thing the weather cooperated.
- We learned that it’s safe to go ziplining while carrying a P200k camera.

Can it get any BETTER than that?
And oh, the couple added some moves too.

Carla + Elmer
Nov 17th
While I was editing their onsite video, in a room within the compound of the church, I asked Carla, also sitting and waiting for her time to march down the aisle, what’s their love story (I’ve never met the couple before as it was Carla’s sister who booked us for the wedding).
In that 2 mins. of conversation, she was able to share this to me:
Back in the States, when they were first introduced to each other, they were still with different partners. But as with many unique relationships, what began as a lengthy 3-hour carpool drive from where Carla stays and her place of work developed into something really really special.
Now watch their onsite video, to the tune of One Republic’s “Say (All I Need)”.

Jan + Louie
Nov 15th
For 88 months that they were together, I’m sure there were as many trials as there were wonderful memories.
In the end: “I could not ask for more.” Louie told Jan during their vows.
Touching, but then I realized, Jan is working at Pepsi. Di ba they want consumers to: “Ask For More.” Hmmm.
Anyway, congratulations to them. We had a blast shooting the prenup in Camiguin Island, and loved doing our own onsite version from this popular song. Thanks for trusting us. Cheers!
