Highlights and Same Day Edit Wedding Videos: Ryan and Jihan’s grand and glorious wedding

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 08:55:28 +0000

It makes me think what else I could possibly share upon doing same date wedding videos for already a hundred times. It was before a long silence in front of my computer that I realized that there is still something that could be told of same day edit wedding videos after encountering Ryan and Jihan’s grand and glorious wedding.

People were touched with the exchange of personal vows of the couple. The prayers and the messages by the officiating minister was indeed an inspiration. Who will not fall in love when the scenic ceremony by the lake turned more romantic when the place transformed from daylight to sundown to of the night?

Knowing that people are touched again when watching the same day edit wedding video at the reception pleases and makes me feel successful in the very essence of documenting such wedding event. This is more than just a good wedding video; it’s all about inspiring and touching lives.

An SMS from Ryan and Jihan telling me that more people were touched after showing the same day edit wedding video in an after wedding party delighted us more.

Ryan and Jihan wedding was held last January 23, 2010 at The Lakeshore, Pampanga.

Watch the wedding highlights video.

Khalil and Inah Same Day Edit Wedding Video

admin — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 03:36:14 +0000

Last month, I got a call from Inah. It was surprising because soon-to-wed couples normally book their wedding videographer at least 6 months before the wedding. Soon-to wed couples today have changed their behavior not just towards wedding videography, but also in booking other wedding suppliers. Why? The wedding industry is rapidly growing and more and more wedding suppliers come around.

Before Inah called, she’s done her research already; she knows what she wanted for her wedding video. She watched my wedding videos including Former PNP Chief Art Lomibao and Jacky Tui’s wedding. You know what? Inah’s dad is the current PNP Chief of Caloocan City.

Khalil and Inah were among our few young couples with very minimal specifications for their wedding video, yet, very happy with the result. Watch the same day edit wedding video.

Malaysian Couple 9.9.9, 9am Wedding in Manila

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:10:24 +0000

Alex and Beatrice 9.9.9 at 9am Wedding in Manila.

Why in the Philippines? Alex and Beatrice, both Malaysians, have decided to be wed at San Agustin Church last September 9, 2009 at 9am. The reason? It’s simple: Alex and Beatrice are Christian Catholics. They were greatly attracted to the churches in Manila, specially San Agustin Church.

Beatrice first contacted me as early as March of this year, from then on, we became constant Yahoo! Messenger and Facebook buddies. Two weeks before the wedding, I met Alex and Beatrice in Manila to help them find a photographer, gown designer, florist, bridal car and restaurant reservations. Would you believe that I even decided the menu for the reception at Barbara’s in Intramuros? It was really cool.

Anyways, 9.9.9 came and I instantly became a wedding coordinator. It’s quite hard doing wedding videography while coordinating. Whew…But since Alex and Beatrice and party was just a small group, it’s not hard to handle the wedding prep and wedding ceremony.

The reception was so simple because a grand reception will be happening on January in Malaysia, which I’m going to document also. The reception at Barbara’s was more on a simple lunch treat of the couple for their guests, but surprisingly, it was fun. I’m so amazed on how they celebrate such occasions. It’s entirely different from the way we celebrate. Well, I don’t understand most of the conversations, but I was surprised that so many Filipino words are used by them also.

The best part were the events after the wedding. Me and my family were also at the hotel to accompany them for the shopping around the Metro, dinner at Kamayan-Saisaki, and of course, the tattoo sessions. Thanks to Led Tuyay of Kamikazee for the tattoo artist who agreed to come over at the hotel.

So many more stories to tell but I guess I have to end it here. To Alex and Beatrice, when I go to Malaysia, I hope I will not get lost in your malls, too, LOL.

A wedding video highlight will be edited to be shown at the Malaysian wedding reception.

And wedding video teaser soon…

Rommel and Marivic Same Day Edit Wedding Video

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 03:53:50 +0000

A good wedding video always starts with a good concept. The real challenge for a wedding videographer is to execute the said concept given the limited editing time for the Same Day Edit wedding video.

Kiko and Eileen Same Day Edit is a perfect example of a perfect concept. Rommel was present during that wedding event and he told us that he was impressed. That was 3 years ago, but Rommel and Marivic booked us to be their wedding videographer as well.

Rommel and Marivic Same Day Edit wedding video has its own challenges. How the two met is an important part in the video. Marivic is a friend of Kiko, while Rommel is a cousin of Eileen. Therefore, it was Kiko and Eileen who introduced the two to each other.

It was a long distance relationship. Rommel is based in L.A. while Marivic is in Manila. Their day-to-day typical life apart is by going online everyday. The couple wanted a chatting session to be included too in the same day wedding video.

It took me a hard time documenting the chatting session from two different hotel rooms. Imagine directing two scenes in two different locations but you can only be in one location. Well, I can say it was all worth it. These kinds of requests set apart our wedding videography style from the rest of Philippine wedding videographers.

Kamlesh and Manju Love Story Wedding Video

admin — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 17:45:23 +0000

An Indian wedding reception is very different from Filipino wedding reception.

An Indian wedding reception normally is a showcase of talents, usually dance production numbers and skits, from the family and friends while the couple will watch and will be entertained like the king and queen.

Kamlesh and Manju on the other hand had this idea to change the typical Indian wedding reception a bit by incorporating the love story wedding video for the dances and production numbers. The videos were used as introductions for all the performances.

It was a brilliant idea and first of its kind – telling your love story through video and at the same time serves as an introduction for all the performances during the wedding reception.

Most of all, this love story wedding video is futuristic. I’ve never encountered a couple like Kamlesh and Manju before, having this kind of idea, creating a love story wedding video, that is actually a simulation of married life scenarios 10 years after the wedding.

So guys, what you will watch is not actually happening yet. It is fictional only.

Again, this video is originally divided into several chapters for the said purpose. I re-edited this version into a whole video presentation to share, though some parts showed in the reception, I did not put here. Watch the love story wedding video.

Wedding Video is not just for the bride…Carroll and Gladys Wedding

admin — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:03:23 +0000

Yes, it’s always the bride and the groom and the families and friends. But most wedding video coverages focus on the bride specially during the on-the-day wedding preps.

That’s why the Reality Wedding Video coverage team made it sure that Carroll, the groom will have exposure more than the usual coverage for the groom, and so we covered him while he was at the gym and spa.

This same day edit wedding video is more than the usual. Why? We used 4 songs for the entire presentation. Not only that, we had crane set-up too, inside the church.

Watch the same day edit wedding video.

Life apart…Carroll and Gladys Love Story Wedding Video.

The objective is to show the life of the couple while Carroll, the groom is in the United States and Gladys, the bride is in the Philippines. This was done by taking home videos and cell phone footages by the couple themselves.

The wedding preps was also on the highlights and it was well documented.

What I did on the other hand were the interviews and prenup footages. But the real challenge was developing the story and putting all these things together from 10 hours raw footages into a 7-10 minutes presentation.

It took me several days to come out with the final edit.

Watch the love story wedding video.

A Japanese – Filipino Christian Wedding: Nobuyuki and Elena Kiyozuka Wedding Videos

admin — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 08:52:43 +0000

One of a kind Hello Kitty themed wedding of Nobuyuki and Elena Kiyozuka, a Japanese – Filipino Christian wedding held at Patio Isabel y Jardin on July 18, 2009.

When I asked Ms. Elena why “Hello Kitty”, she said, it’s her favorite cartoon character. Her bedroom in Japan is a Disney Land full of Hello Kitty. Name it and she all have them in different forms, shapes and sizes. She also added that she grew up in a poor family that can’t even afford to buy any stuff toys, and so this time, collecting Hello Kitty is her recreation and past time. She also added that given her past, she is proud of her humble beginnings.

Mr. Nobuyuki was in full support. He knows this makes her bride happy, and so he involved himself also in looking for unique Hello Kitty wedding souvenirs.

Now, the same day edit wedding video is full of feelings. Truly personal vows are coming from within, and the video captured as it is, revealing the heart and soul of the couple.

The Love Story wedding video is an overpowering love story. Her life as she struggled to survive together with her son Yoshihiro who was just 5 years old then. She met Nobuyuki, and they started as a friends, business partners and advisers. Without their knowing they fell in love. The couple’s love affair was unknown to the people around them for 16 years.

The final edited wedding video is not only a situation of heartfelt emotions but a mix of funny scenes as well. Given the personality of the bride, who will not laugh out loud while she is wearing her wedding gown…?

Wedding Highlight production soon…

We all enjoyed, even the witty yet very sensible couple themselves, the post wedding interview. And also they were very kindhearted.

Batibot theme…Same Day Edit wedding video?

admin — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:30:55 +0000

A month before the wedding, we had our production meeting. Tian have so many ideas not just for the wedding video but as well as other wedding details. I love his idea for the door opening for the bride entrance (Watch the video to see how romantic and magical the plan was).

As expected, the couple was expecting reality treatment for the same day edit wedding video, something more than the usual same day edit. Well I’m proud that that’s one of the reasons why our clients book us, they wanted unique wedding video presentations. And so Tian made sure we have this teaser situationers using Batibot theme to make their wedding video fun, or I should say, make the wedding video actually funny.

It was a challenge because couples’ request is always our priority, but at the same time, I don’t want my wedding videos appear neither slapsticks nor baduy (bad taste). But I believe we have this “something”, whatever we do, a drama or comedy wedding video, our work always defect elegance.

By the way, thanks to Yvette Tan, friend an a former workmate at ABS-CBN whom recommended us to the couple. Yvette was the maid of honor. Now you know why she has lots of exposure. LOL

Update: Watch the wedding ceremony final edited video.
