Monica and Franco: A Smashing Pumpkins SDE

What are the chances of a Bride requesting for a Smashing Pumpkins song for her Same Day Edit?

One in a thousand.

And that one chance happened last January 3.

In the phonecall during the drive up to Tagaytay, she mentioned Tonight Tonight was her one and only choice.  Adding that she ranks SP up there with the Beatles. I couldn’t agree more.

Pressed for time (as always), we managed to finish the SDE. The playback was overwhelming! Never would have I imagined Corgan blaring through speakers in full volume, strings soaring, drums pounding.  I hope you enjoy watching this as I had much as we had putting it together.

    JASONNNNNNNN!!!!!

    We cannot stop reliving the day. Amazing video, absolutely amazing! Family and friends watch the video over and over and over and have so many wonderful comments about it. I get goosebumps everytime I watch it. Franco would wake up in the middle of the night and say "I want to watch the video"… I think we will be watching it until our nth anniversary. It was a pleasure to work with you and your team. Thank you so much for being part of that day. We are all fans. All the best. xoxoxoxo

    Man! I love your work! I 'm also a wedding videographer/editor too. But not even close to your skills. When I saw this video, that song got stuck in my head. So I made my own version. Please check out my work and tell me what you think.
