Chiqui and Derek
Oct 14th
With a prenup concept unlike any other, I was amazed on how dedicated Chiqui and Derek were to make it possible. From the intricate props to the various locations we need to shoot at, they were game every step of the way. Along with the action scenes and enlisting the help of their relatives and friends, we came up with this action-packed Save-the-Date that will definitely, blow you away! 
Here’s their Save-the-Date trailer, followed by their wedding SDE.

Emma and Christopher SDE
Oct 11th
“We love, because it’s the only true adventure.” – Nikki Giovanni
For Emma and Christopher, whose adventure with each other started way back in high school, the love that they have made everything that happened to their lives, good and bad, more exciting and meaningful.
Here are their prenup AVP and wedding same-day edit. Cheers!
Charlene & Rennel
Jun 20th
Fast Facts: The prenup vid’s “inspiration” came from this year’s blockbuster, Fast Five. The black Mustang they were driving is the special edition version of that model. The “Eleanor”, as seen on another car movie, Gone in 60 Seconds.
Wedding Day Fast Fact (or Fiction): Charlene believes that every time she travels, rain follows her. The first time she told me that, I didn’t made much about it. Well, on the day we shot the prenup in Cebu, it rained and we had to keep on stopping the shoot. On her wedding day, during the ceremony, it rained hard as well. Hmmm.
And Rennel said his take on this during their vows, “I will be there when we both weather the storms of life, as much as possible without the strife.”
Ethel and Mark SDE
May 30th
Our first time ever to shoot a 5am wedding. With a 1am call-time, plus another wedding coming after their wedding, it was, quite frankly a stressful day.
But if you have a couple as game as them in pulling off this one-of-a-kind wedding, you kinda wanna step up your game.
And I think we did. Here’s their SDE. Cheers!
Marianne & Francis Prenup & SDE
Apr 17th
Marianne sent me their “love story” and one of the things she said, need to be posted here.
“Francis didn’t write his letters on pen and ink like Shakepeare did. Or climbed windows like Romeo. Ours was like modern art. You don’t use brush and paints to create art nowadays. You now have photoshop, photography, or illustrator. But it was still love that we found.”
Cute. 
December 18
Dec 22nd
The date everyone wanted to get married on this year. Almost every supplier had double bookings, mostly one in the morning, and the other in the afternoon. We had extra pressure as ours was 1 in the morning, and 2 in the afternoon. 3 weddings, 3 SDEs, of which 2 are in HD.
And I had to be the one to edit the 2 SDEs in HD.
O-M-G.
The things that happened during this day, I cannot share in detail, but one thing I’m sure right now. Nothing is impossible with the One above.
Here’s the morning wedding of ROWENA and RALPH.
And in the afternoon, JASMIN and FRANK’s wedding.
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!
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.

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!
