Posted on July 26, 2016 by alain

Of course, as wedding suppliers, we want to give our clients an event that’s nothing short of spectacular. But when a fellow supplier goes from behind the scenes to in front of our cameras, we don’t just give our best – we give it our all! Tintin, a high-caliber wedding planner in Bacolod, is tying the knot with US-based Ryan in a couple of days. So when we shot their Save-The-Date video in breathtaking Club Tara Surigao, we made sure to pull all the stops to honor her as a wedding supplier and to set her off on her happy-ever-after with her knight in shining armor, Ryan.

Jocelyn & Matt: Singapore Wedding

Posted on March 30, 2016 by alain

One of the many perks of being in this profession is the opportunity to get exposed and be immersed in cultures we have little knowledge of – cultures so awe-inspiring that it makes you feel like a participant even though you’re only an observer. That’s one of the things we took home after we shot JOCELYN + MATT’s wedding in Singapore.

Traditional wedding ceremonies were observed, among many things. Preparations started early, so you can just imagine the many things that happened during the day. Gatecrashing in the morning, tea ceremony around noon, solemnization at Tanjong Beach in the afternoon, and afterwards, grand reception attended by more than 300 guests. To say the least, this experience was culturally-enriching and visually-inspiring. Plus, Singapore was spectacular and our couple – Jocelyn + Matt – were absolutely lovely!

MARLON + AILEEN: Same Day Edit

Posted on June 7, 2015 by alain

Both based in the US, MARLON + AILEEN came home to tie the knot in front of God, family, and friends in a beautiful wedding celebration held at the Malate Church, while reception followed at the Century Park Hotel in Manila. Though we constantly stayed in touch online, we personally met the bride the day before the wedding. Since the start, you could feel how excited she was for her wedding. But what amazed me is the fact that for someone who’s based in the US for a long time, Aileen is still very fluent in Bisaya, and during the wedding, she was also very fluent in Chinese. Their close-knit families, on the other hand, had been so accommodating to us and very supportive of the couple. Here’s their wedding video by The Digital Eye.

SAME DAY EDIT: JUN + CHRYSTEL

Posted on January 14, 2014 by alain

They say that every #love story has its own challenges and triumphs. Many have tried, some have failed, while others succeed. Jun and Chrystel are no strangers to that, for theirs is a love story that has endured time, distance, and circumstance. In the words of the Bride to the Groom, “I love you when we are together, and when we are apart.”

Jun and Chrystel’s love story started in college; around the time when most people start to find ‘The One’ – although at that point, it was unbeknownst to them that they’re already looking at the one whom they will share their ‘life, love, laughter, and happily ever after’ with.

Like most couples, their story was not without tribulations. But even if the odds seemed to not always be in their favor, they have managed to not only stay afloat, but they have nurtured the love they have for each other despite the adversity. After all – for Jun and Chrystel – distance, time and circumstance did not matter; for in the end, love saw them through.

The Bride and Groom were fortunate to have amazing people on board to orchestrate such a magical #wedding, but it was the people dear to them who made the event even more special. Family and friends came in droves to show their love and support for Jun and Chrystel as they turn a new leaf.

The Bride was radiant in her stunning wedding dress, while the Groom looked dapper in his tailored suit. Everything was wonderful on that day, and the maid-of-honor summed it all up perfectly, “A wedding day will be remembered for all the joy it brings; a day of love and happiness, a day of new beginnings, learning what love truly means. Your wedding is just a start to many hopes and dreams.”

To Jun and Chrystel, we are honored to be part of your happily-ever-after, and we only have the best wishes for you on the new journey that you will be embarking as husband and wife. Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs.!

Triumph of Love Amidst the Flood

Posted on May 27, 2013 by alain

Typhoon Sendong, said to be the deadliest cyclone to ever hit Cagayan de Oro, ravaged the city in 2011. The entire community was shaken, properties were reduced to rumble, and dreams were shattered. Countless people were swept away by the infernal flood waters, while numerous lives were lost in the process. Two of the people whose lives were changed forever on that fateful day were Gary and Bevelyn.

Til Death Do Us Part – one of the most overly-used wedding vows which meaning has now sadly began to erode. But for these Sendong survivors, this very phrase was what kept them alive up to this very day.
