Czarah and Adrian, Davao City
Davao, weddings August 26th, 2008For our dear foreign readers, a quick lesson in geography. The Philippine archipelago is composed of more than 7,000 islands each of which has a festival or fiesta of it’s own. Often it celebrates it’s patron saint’s feast (coinciding with thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest.)
Imagine our luck when Czarah and Adrian’s wedding day fell on the same day as Davao’s Kadayawan festival. Also called Indak-Indak (dance-dance), the festival is highlighted by tribal dances from different parts of the Mindanao province all happening in the streets of the city.

Czarah was stunning and Adrian no less dapper. The cornerstone of the wedding was the tearful exchange of vows which led me to to create a moody and atmospheric piece.The bride and all the other gowns were designed by Popoy and Aztec Barba, the flawless coordination and the beautiful styling was handled by Noel Tanza. Much thanks to Juvy Roilo, guest management coordinator, for making sure we had a great stay in Davao.

As always, liked everything, the shoot, the film look, the glidecam running…
only a thing!… what is the name of the song…!!!!
Greeting from Mexico!

sir j, after watching this clip, mike (fiance) suggested why cant the dept of tourism hire you to take footages of the colorful Pinoy festivals we have and show it on CNN to promote our country (like malaysia truly asia, incredible india..hehe)? u obviously got the charm of kadayawan here, in all its vibrance! they should really consider that.. =D

I was at the wedding and watching this video still give me goosebumps.. the wedding and the video is exceptional! you wouldn’t even recognize St. Joseph church and DavCon.. Even covering the Kadayawan festival in Davao is great!.. You are great!
Thanks Grace. No. Davao and it’s people are.
Beautiful work Jason. I found your site via the Glidetrack’s maker who is a member at HV20.com. What is the name of this song?

the music and the way you did it just adds up beautifully…. might i ask ano po ang music nitong video? ang ganda po kasi. 
hi jason,
you just don’t know how many times i watched this video. YOU GUYS JUST MADE EVERYTHING EXTRA PERFECT!!! i LOVE it so much!!! the musical score is amazing and the KADAYAWAN clip really surprised me when you showed it at the reception. that’s why sila rjoi and the crew are asking for a ride to the city pala that morning?!!!(hahahaha!!!)… anyway, everyone loved it! thank you so much for making our day special! 
regards to cecile, rjoi, elson and pang!!!
sorry for the late comment!!! hahahaha
Such an appealing and heartfelt video. Musical score captures the ambience so well
Like all the others I’m beginning to have LSS over it. May I know the title also? Please?
Anyone still wondering what the title of the song, it’s “Is it Love” by Kleinohrhasen Score.
It’s kind of difficult to locate and it’s not on the iTunes store, but I managed to find a torrent file and got the song along with a bunch of other great songs.
