The best six years of my life.

Here is perhaps the only shot of the bride in a pensive mood. I savored the moment as this only lasted for a second.

The rest was just rip roaring laughter from Jen and John.

Watch the Onsite Video.

PS. Thanks for the puto and kutsinta. Thanks for the cheeseburger. Thanks for the meetings where all we did was laugh out loud. It was most enjoyable doing your wedding. I’ll send the AVP bill by the way LOL.

Thanks also to Daniel Boswell of DvArtistry who inspired me to do the photo montage transition.

Shrine of what? Shrine of where? It’s the spankin’ new church near Villamor Air Base.

And the Dizon-Baltao nuptials were the first to be held there. Stella was simply stunning…

Everything about the wedding was grand, from the church interiors…

To the thirty piece orchestra …

Here’s the OnsiteVideo.

Cacat will turn 18 on July 13. Here’s the short and sweet teaser we made out of her photoshoot.

Here are more pics.

I’ve purchased so many lenses for my Letus setup that I couldn’t resist the urge to buy a film camera body for it.

If the camera you’re using is older than you are - now that’s old school. The Canon EF…

Roughly 33 years old since it was first introduced.

Little things like this make all the work and stress worth it. Thanks Ed and Jude!

From Cebu to Tagaytay the next day, I thought I was going to be spent but adrenaline proved me wrong. Okay so, what does the Onsite Video Editor need the least while editing? - why, catchy, witty text to go along with the video of course!

But I’m a sucker for pain and the opportunity presented itself so here goes - the witty onsite video of Elmer and Martina.

I fell in love with Splendido (Tagaytay), it was our first time to shoot there. The place was so cozy and tastefully styled.

And in the never-ending quest to hunt for more lenses for my 35mm setup, I recently picked up a 1:1 macro.

It’s always a pleasure flying down to the Queen City of the South everytime. And this trip to Cebu in particular was no exception. It was the wedding of Supermodel Verns Buckley to Holy Kettle Cornman Derrick Chiongbian.

I love how they used a bib as a ringholder for baby Sky, the ringbearer.

Check out the onsite video here.

Incidentally, It was the first time that the Marquee at Mactan Shangri-la was used for a scial function after the recently held Asean Summit.

Remember the Boracay trip I blogged about last Feb? The one where premiere videographer Julie Hill of Elysium dropped by for a visit.

Well it turns out she wrote about her experience for EventDV and had nothing but the kindest of words.

Read it here.

Here’s my favorite part.

As any experienced wedding videographer will tell you, getting amazing shots during a Catholic ceremony is not easy. Jason’s team, however, seems to have it down to a science—without even communicating. It’s almost like a dance.

Thanks Julie for the beautiful beautiful article.

Last Saturday we had the pleasure of shooting at Le Pavillon as styled by Ms. Jing Tanada of Palamuti (724.3392, 724.5313).

The tent was beautifully transformed into an elegant, foliage filled, candle lit venue.

Check out the short clip we made here.

Both the ceremony and reception dinner of William Baldwin III (not the actor though) and Maricel Barro were held there.

The sit down dinner served by Le Souffle was complimented by the always fantabulous desserts of Bizu.
