Being a regular speaker at workshops and seminars, I get asked a lot - “what is your style?”

It’s a tough question to answer really. Because I find myself doing all sorts. I had my cinematic phase and my music video moments. I’ve had my share of tear-jerkers and and laugh out loud pieces. But after watching Erika’s video a couple of days after her wedding (I always do that, to revel in the moment and to see what can be improved on), a lightbulb lit in my head and I realized that however I edit or shoot a piece, there is one constant - the patience and precision by which we are able to capture the fleeting.

An uncanny ability to be at the right place at the right moment.  To capture that tear, that glance and that sigh.

I present to you Ambi and Erika’s same day edit…

Many thanks to Erika for posting the sweetest things in my Facebook wall.  I just had to post this …

..i have a window on my PC open all day at work that immediately leads me to the same-day edit that you made for us. see, i’m still in DC and ambi’s in NY/NJ, and i’ll only be moving there in august. so when there are moments during the day at work when life seems so mundane and he seems so far from me, your video takes me back to that beautiful day when we made those vows. i know, i know…drama! haha…but i just wanted to thank you again for giving me - us - something to hohd on to till we get old and gray. wala talagang kupas ang ginawa mo para sa amin. :)
