Marianne & Francis Prenup & SDE

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.

Rhea and Jeff SDE

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.

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!

Judith and Jun SDE

They say that marrying the love of your life is the closest thing to heaven. Maybe. But after watching Judith and Jun, I knew that love is indeed heaven sent.

Watch how the day turned out in their SDE. Cheers!

Kathleen and Rolan SDE: Butuan City

People oftentimes ask me how I choose the songs for our SDEs. Most of the time, I know the answer. But this one is an exception.

The day of the wedding, I still don’t know what song we’re going to use. Good thing one trick I know that really works for me. Select ‘shuffle’ on my iTunes, start listening and let luck decide.

Here’s the SDE we did for Kathleen and Rolan for their wedding in Butuan City.

Special shoutout to our fellow CDO suppliers Badz Castro (coordination), Flower Matters (event styling), Gil Macaibay III (gown & makeup) and Ansaldo Photography.

Christine and Jun SDE

“If I were old, my dearest, you would be older
But I would crawl upon your lap
Wrap a blanket ‘round our frail little shoulders
And I’d die happily like that.”

A Fine Frenzy

I think everybody would want this to happen. Grow old happily with someone until the end. A nice song for a very nice couple.

Cheers!

Maite + Enrique SDE

There is something nice when you shoot the bride’s preps at their house.

The people are more relaxed.

You’ll be excited by the new location and the shots you’ll get (compared to the usual familiar ones at the hotel).

And because it’s a little uncommon now, unlike before when the bride and groom are really preparing on separate locations.

Enrique and his parents came all the way from Mexico. While the lovely bride, Maite, who has Spanish blood, is from Cagayan de Oro.

Special thanks to the bridesmaids and maid of honor who did a fantastic job and really did their part at the wedding.
