Clarissa and Ryan: Love Story

Nuestra Senora de Gracia, videos, weddings 12 Comments »

Dirty little secret #127:  I like Taylor Swift.  Despite all appearances that I love my music on the loud side, I love her pop melodies and her lilting voice.  She’s hot too. Majorly!

Ms. Swift aside, I’m excited to share this video because Clarissa is actually the third bride I’ve shot in the Garza family.  There was Judy and Janice and now Clarissa.  I am profoundly grateful for the trust  and appreciation.  Now give it a rest and give your Dad a break! ;-) (I can’t possibly fathom giving away three daughters in a span of five years).

It’s time for the story kids …

I haven’t had the good fortune of shooting an Indian wedding yet.  But this one comes very close.

I had to post his right away as soon as I got Gretch’s email … (I didn’t want to get mobbed)

Kinukulit na ako ng mga tao to upload your video but i can’t seem to post it i guess the file is too big or something and i don’t have a converter hehe.

These are just examples of messages i receive everyday on my facebook

Sabi ni Mark sa thank you speech niya sa reception pagkatapos maipalabas ang Onsite Video - “Salamat Jason! Hindi mo kami binigo”.

Ang saya!  Ang sarap ng feeling.  Nakakawala ng pagod at stress pagkatapos mag-edit.

Actually, kahit matagal-tagal na ring kaming nag o-onsite video, stressful pa rin siya kahit papaano.

Pumili sila ng kanta ni Enya para sa video.  Favorite ko si Enya, college pa lang.  Nawalan lang ako ng gana nung nagpapa-spa na ako, kasi parating yun ang tugtog - lalo na yung Orinoco Flow.

Naalala ko rin kay Enya mga retreat and recollection sa school.  Yung papaiyakin ka ng husto at pagsisisihin ka sa mga kasalanan mo.  Pagkatapos, busilak ka at umaapaw ng pagmamahal sa lahat ng tao.  Ang una mong gagawin pag-uwi, itatapon mo yung porno collection mo na nakatago sa ilalim ng kama.

Buti na lang yung Book of Days hindi ginagamit sa spa o sa retreat.  Wala akong ibang associations o baggage.  Nung inaaral ko nga, ang ganda ng bagsak, mabilis sa simula sabay bagal, sabay bilis uli. Bagay na bagay sa kasal.

Camille and Rey: If you listen closely …

Nuestra Senora de Gracia, videos, weddings 28 Comments »

when you interact with your bride and groom, say Camille and Rey, you will find out …

1. that Camille is hardly the affectionate/showy type. She’s more likely to say Yuck! than Awww!

2. about the interesting backstories surrounding the wedding. How Lola almost didn’t make it to the wedding and how Dad fell ill just two weeks prior.  The arrhae dating to as far back the 1700s (from the original Spanish Galleon ships.

And if you watch closely …

…  You will see the most enthusiastic response by a groom for his bride walking down the aisle in recent memory. Please  excuse me but that shot was so money!

Zerina and Louie Suavengco: Nuestra Senora De Gracia

Mid-month last December, we got the chance to shoot in one of our favorite churches in Manila Nuestra Senora de Gracia in Guadalupe.

This church is beautiful. From the old stone facade to the glowing yellow and green interiors provided by the stained glass.

If anybody was going to give out awards for best impromptu vows, I think Louie should take the win. Find out why …

It is always a privilege and an honor when clients contract our services for their wedding. But there is something extra special about being hired by co-suppliers. They, who know the landscape of the industry and practically know everybody else.

Last Friday, Katrina Arce Kuhn, owner and head chef of Cuillere Catering, tied the knot with Marco.

Like most supplier weddings we’ve shot, the chance to shine at their given field cannot be passed up. The guests were treated to a sumptuous seven course dinner apart from the cheese buffet.

The interesting twist was that after the formal dinner, a couple hundred more of the newlywed’s guests started to arrive to the party which was setup on the other half of Blue Leaf. DJ music and a midnight buffet on one side, a sit-down dinner and live band ballroom dancing at the other.

View the same day edit here.
