Jason Magbanua is guest blogging again:

Ever wondered what it’s like to marry your first and make him your last?

Marisse and Chester are two lucky people because they didn’t have to come looking around just to find the one! I wonder what it’s like to marry someone whom you said your first “I love you”, or even your first kiss? Okay, maybe that’s why Marisse got the biggest smile on her wedding day!

Watch their SDE and see just how happy they are!

Of course we won’t let March pass by without a Boracay wedding! We were shooting Meg & Dave's wedding  without knowing that my fiancee, parents and friends were also in Boracay getting ready for my surprise engagement proposal! And YES, I was engaged the same day. Which makes this wedding pretty much memorable for me.

A few years from now, if I would have my own Same Day Edit, I would like the videographer to capture the following:
-my dad playing with my nephew and maybe have a few laughs on how long it has been since my wedding after seeing my nephew grow old so fast.
-my sister who once was single, but is now happily married.
-my mom who cried on my wedding day.
-my husband and how he seemed so in love the day we sealed the deal.

Here are just some things you will see in this onsite, that you will for sure realize the sentimental value of a wedding video even if this wasn’t your own.

-Therese

Love makes us realize that we are more capable to do things especially for the ones we love.

Our team had a blast with shooting Joana & Paolo’s wedding in Puerto Del Sol, Bolinao, Pangasinan. With less than a hundred guests, it was more intimate and beautiful.

More than that, I love Paolo’s speech during the reception.
He shared something about love & destination weddings:

“I know that our decision to have a destination wedding in Bolinao is not at all practical, logical, or even financially smart. The thing is, love and loving someone should never be just about practicality, logic, or even being frugal – it should also be about following your heart and what you know will make your partner happy. A wedding is one of the few milestones in life where I believe you should go big and make it as memorable as you can.”
–Paolo, Groom

Watch out for May & John's wedding this March 19, 2013!

Congratulations for winning the W@W Weddings at Work Contest!

Here’s a perfect example on how we will shoot your wedding video.

The secret to a beautiful wedding video? Just let us do our job and we’ll do the rest. Namee & Justin did what exactly we told them to do… to enjoy their special day!

Every meeting, I make sure that I tell them that we capture what’s happening and not what we want to happen. This way, our videos look natural, truly a wedding video you would want to watch every other time.

One thing to look out for the newly engaged brides: Namee’s extra-ordinary wedding dress made by Rosalyn Lagdameo. Her dress was inspired by our traditional Filipiniana attire. She definitely wore it with much grace and confidence as she walked the aisle!

19 years of waiting must be really worth the fight.

I keep asking clients how long they have been together before finally deciding that it is the right time to get married. Well, this is just out of my curiosity. Who knows what they went through? All I know is I’m sure they went through a lot. Because I’m 23 years old, and subtracting a few years to 19 still makes up a grown up.

Most of the time, the bride only cries during the bridal march. With Sunday, she cries the moment after she wears her bridal gown! Watch our onsite video and witness this!
