Once upon a time, at the old office, I had this graphic designer working for us, brightening up the studio with his antics, becoming the “pet” of sorts for the all girl editors.  (That’s not as fun as one might think, menstrual period jokes get old really fast). He soon moved on taking a job [...]

Any ordinary day, I’d tell you how amazingly beautiful Asya in Boracay was.  The beach was pristine, privacy was assured, the villas were luxurious and the view was simply breathtaking. I made a mental note to go back for vacation. So there’s that.  But what I really want to tell you was that Abi and Duke’s wedding [...]

If you’re a couple as gorgeous as this. If you get married in a place as beautiful as this. If you have a ceremony as sincere as this. You don’t need fancy.  You just need to be where you’re supposed to be, at the right place, at the right time.     Church: Beach Wedding [...]

Well we have  a lot of catching up to do don’t we? Do you know that Green day song?   “Wake me up, when September ends?”.  Kinda like been in that mode the past couple of months.  The last pat of the year has kicked in and so is the workload at HQ. Apart from [...]

I felt bad. It had been perfectly sunny in Boracay, however, the day prior to the wedding, the weather turned sour.  I met my couple at Discovery Shores and the bride, Leah, was visibly distressed, albeit hiding her frustration with a still charming smile.  David said, – “We have this everyday in London”, referring to [...]

Kai put me on the spot.   Twice!  She asked me to speak at the reception dinner (I politely agreed), and the post wedding party (I drunkenly agreed). So this will be perhaps, in a long history of firsts from us, the only time you see the wedding videographer make a speech during dinner!   [...]

It’ll be quite some time before we get back to Boracay so we made this count.  =) Tin and Fil: Boracay Same Day Edit from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo. What are the things you love to do in Boracay? I like… long walks on the beach choriburger! mango-banana shake at Jonas thin crust Pizza at [...]

H for Honey. That’s what our dear bride said after receiving her surprise gift (a white Hermes bracelet) from the groom.  Only very close family and friends were in attendance, befitting the intimate ceremony by the beach. Shangri-la Boracay was beautiful  It was everything they said it would be.  See for yourself… Honey and Reese [...]

Never in a million years did I think I’d do a same day edit to a French Electronica duo. Nor did I ever think I’d get to shoot a wedding officiated by somebody in a multi-colored vest and a tophat. Never say never Kate and Will: Same Day Edit from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo.

I was quite bummed when late last year, the copyright police took  down  our Smashing Pumpkins SDE we posted a year ago. Let’s see how long Virgin records will keep this one up. In any case, we had absolutely so much fun doing this video.  It was like being invited to one big party where everybody was just [...]

After shooting on the 30th and 31st lst year, I voved not to take any more beyond the 29th. But Barbi’s wedding came along and I just couldn’t say no. It was amazing! Like she said in the video, months back she just visualized her wedding, everybody in white by the beach, the curious thing [...]

Not one month after our ‘little mishap” in Boracay Island,  we came back for another wedding, this time on Seawind’s beachfront. Thankfully, the wedding was smooth sailing … Chillax! Melanie and Norman from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo. Boracay videos seem to always be the bouncy happy kind.  I set out to purposely do something different. [...]
