Serene - The perfect word to describe this video.
We took the long route this Saturday for Kathryn and Ian’s wedding. Preps at the Peninsula, Ceremony at San Antonio and then down south at Fernbrook for the dinner reception.
Muted colors, shallow DOF and a slow even pace abound.
Check out the Onsite Video.
Bokeh is described as the rendition of out-of-focus points of light in an composition. And nothing gives out the creamy smooth background blurs like 35mm lenses for video.
Gorgeous images aside, the defining moment of this clip is at the 3:01 mark. Kirby and Vincent meet each other at the aisle, it’s the closest they’ve been physically so far in the day. Emotions overflow, you can see how much they yearn to kiss or at least embrace. But they don’t - not until they get married of course. Talk about dramatic tension in a documentary!
Take a look - here.
Nope it’s not the newest boyband to come out of the dregs of the music business…
It’s the cover of the latest issue of EventDV Magazine with a feature on the “new documentary” style of weddings.

I rarely preempt the viewer experience but indulge me this time around.
Watching this clip is very much like a breath of fresh air needed this warm summer. Everybody , especially the couple, was on such a healthy dose of “Cheerios”. Just shiny happy people all around.
Good times!
Lots of 35mm yumminess and good ol’ candid documentation.
Here’s Sheila and Paolo’s wedding.
There is a reason why audiophiles still prefer vinyls to compact discs, why people still shoot on film rather than CF cards.
And there is a reason why we are going to offer to shoot weddings on film and not just digital.
Shooting in film offers a warmth and atmosphere irreplicable in video. The vintage look of Super 8 is an excellent medium to use on your wedding day. It’s the epitome of memory. Super 8 is rough around the edges, grainy, flicker-full - much like the way we remember things.
Film is not about precision, faithful reproduction and high definition. Not more pixels but more feeling. Analog Love baby!
We have tried so hard to achieve the “film look”, that it only makes sense to do away with the “look” and shoot in “film” from the outset.

Hannah and Rob’s wedding was shot with a Canon 814xls with Fuji Eterna film. Sadly, there are no more processing laboratories here in the Philippines so I had to ship out the rolls to California.

Many thanks to Kristen of Bliss and Chris of MasonJar for their help in “breaking me in”.
Heads up to the lovely brides getting married at San Antonio.
It’s been for some months now (I noticed Last December), that one of the halogen lights on the right hand side of the altar has been busted. I was hoping that since you guys were paying for the photo/video permit, you could remind the Santuario office to replace the bulb.
That light is crucial so the altar remains clear from the clutter of a lightstand and cables we would otherwise set up.
Ask nicely. :) Thanks.
Hot on the heels of his brother Raymond’s wedding, now it was Carlo’s turn.
Sukob it wasn’t, because Catherine and Carlo were already technically married (civilly).
Catherine wanted it upbeat and happy and was it ever!
