Let it be said - I LOVE Davao!  The people and their hospitality, their warmth and kindness.

It was a total honor and pleasure being flown in by Len and Ian to shoot their wedding.

This time we got the chance to shoot along local photographer Ben Young (who had the most amazing engagement pictures shot in Paris).

The trip was both eventful and memorable but the highlight for us was the morning after.  We were catching our flight back to Manila in a couple of hours and I had to drop off the DVD of the Same Day Edit at their suite.  Everybody was there and they couldn’t help but pop in the disc in the entertainment system.

One Same Day Edit after, Len, Ian, both their parents and some Aunts were all grabbing tissues.  I never get to be that close to my audience when we show our work.   It was surreal! Thanks again for having us guys!

Three shooters in five minutes.  That’s what I was offered by the couple when the party started after their reception.  Who was I to say no?

It was their way of saying thank you.  And getting tipsy was my way of saying welcome

Cheers!

Never in a million years did I think I’d do a same day edit to a French Electronica duo.

Nor did I ever think I’d get to shoot a wedding officiated by somebody in a multi-colored vest and a tophat.

Never say never

We’re just so thankful that we made the list again for the fourth consecutive year.

Our deep gratitude to the industry peers who voted for us and hearty congratulations to the uber-talented (and self-less) filmmakers who are also on the list.  Cheers!

During the preps, the suppliers were discussing amongst themselves that the bride for this wedding was so perfect (pretty, tall, well mannered, pleasant,) that she had to have a “flaw” somewhere.  We really couldn’t pinpoint anything so we just kinda surmised that she a.) snores loudly when she sleeps or b.)  she had 6 toes.  Joan of course was at the center of the conversation, gamely bantering with us.  She did not confirm nor deny the issue regarding the phalanges.

On the other hand, Mike works for Ebay in San Francisco.  He doesn’t admit it but he’s hooked on online auctions.  More rumors say he was gonna sell the undershirt he was wearing on the  wedding day to the highest bidder.  It was very very warm that day so we expect to command a high initial bid.

I met April for the first time on her wedding day.  But it felt like we’ve been life-long friends.  OK, I’m exaggerating.  At ease was more like it.  It was a totally relaxed, chill wedding day.  Totally brings out the best from suppliers.

Here’s a peek at the wedding day SDE.

I actually first met Barns when I shot his sister’s 18th birthday some six years ago.

I feel old =(.

But not nearly old enough to stop what we’ve been doing over the past ten years, making wedding videos that kick the ass and touch the heart.  I love mixing metaphors!  Cheers!

En “La Capilla Caleruega”, la cual esta en Tagaytay un lugar cerca de Manila, presenciamos una de las ceremonias mas emotivas que jamas habiamos filmado.
