Fun and easygoing - two words perfectly describing Steve and Jecelle.

a stand-up comic priest picking at the couple (jokingly)? - just roll with the punches
band arbitrarily banned at the reception venue? - that’s OK, we can always dance to the dj’s music

It’s all good! The point being - they got married! =)

Jecelle and Steve from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo.

I had my birthday bash a couple of days earlier than usual so we took on a wedding the actual day of my birthday.

It was pretty sweet really. I had good friends from Dino Lara shoot with us, Nona Clemente doing the wedding planning and the couple were as warm as long time friends could be.

The day felt really special when at the after-dinner party, Anthony asked the DJ to play a birthday song.

I was red as a lobster from the embarrassment (like the whole Friday’s birthday thing times a hundred) but felt appreciative nonetheless.

Thanks Nickel and Anthony for having us!

Nina and Ted - Same Day Edit from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo.

A couple of weeks ago, Ted and Nina dropped by our Makati office and discussed the music and treatment of the same day edit.

I was blown away when he let me hear an acoustic version of Bloc Party’s So Here We Are (I’m a long time fan).  Us three clicked right away with long conversations about movies (Wes Anderson) and 80s schtick (Electric Blue).

The wedding, despite the 500++ in attendance was really focused on their respective families.  I could see why the couple grew up to be such super nice persons.  Have a great life guys!
