San Agustin Church

We had the great great opportunity to shoot Penelope and Christopher’s wedding a few weeks back.   It’s always a pleasure to shoot in San Agustin.   It’s a bit warm yes but the detail and structure of the church always makes up for it (just like Nuestra in Guadalupe). Enjoy this SDE we did for this [...]

Always Be

There was this oversized prop right smack in the entrance of One Espalanade where the reception was being held.  It pretty much sums up the experience of Jihan and Jessen’s wedding day.     10 years of being together.  1 day of celebration. A lifetime of love.   Church: San Agustin Church Reception: One Esplanade [...]

Gaano Kalalim ang Buntong Hininga? (How Deep Is a Sigh?)

Gian and Ivan. The most truthful things in life are the ones left unsaid.  With occurrences like these, listening takes a backseat, you learn to watch, reflect then understand. How much love, anticipation and excitement can one man contain?  Find out.   Music:  anything – Jason Kanakis and the Coalition of the Unwilling

Nat and Grace: Mushaboom (The Postal Service Remix)

We were absolutely baking in the church during the ceremony! Not because of the heat but we were truly cooking up something special for Nat and Grace.  Served piping hot and fresh during the reception.  Bon Apetit! Nat and Grace: SDE from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo.

Tania and James: An Intramuros Wedding

You have to give respect to a couple who had the option to wed in Sweden, London or Germany and yet instead chose to get married here in the Philippines. I guess somehow, both of them had to get back to their roots. Everything went perfect on the wedding day and the couple coudn’t be [...]

Claire and Jinno

Sometimes you just can’t help but shoot yourself in the foot.  I think a year ago, in a hissy fit, I wrote a piece totally dissing Cebu Pacific for a botched flight.  I mean, it’s one man against a big ugly corporation right? Then I meet Jinno – who is a pilot in the said [...]

Bianca and Ralph

I actually owe a lot to Ralph.  We met weeks before their wedding and the subject matter digressed to comicbooks.  He turned me on to the latest Green Lantern story arc – Blackest Night and its preludes.  I immediately picked up a copy of the Sinestro Corps War. It was totally “un-put-down-able” and was the [...]
