Set during the golden ages, two people find themselves falling in love. A monarch and a common man is destined to be together after a long search for true love.


We shot this at the Cathedral of Isabela City, Basilan for one day. We have to travel via fastcraft for an hour early in the morning and come back before night falls. Some architectural footages were taken from Youtube for establishing the scenes. Credits to Joe Harris Kari for the styling, Ryann Elumba for Videography, Goyang Fernandez for hair and makeup, and Me for direction and editing. Here's the video:

Last time I featured Zamboanga event coordinators and photographers here in my blog. If you have an event, make sure it will also be documented in Video. For weddings, you can have a variety of video services from full video coverage, to live streaming, to special Audiovisual Presentations (AVP) such as Teasers / Invitational Trailers or Onsite AVP.

These days, weddings can really be very creative. Instead of Save-the-Date cards or Invitations, you can make a Teaser or Invitational Trailer to invite your guests to your wedding. It's more high-tech and you can do a lot of ways to invite your guests in your wedding through video (click here to see a sample of a wedding trailer). Onsite or Same-Day Edit (SDE) is a cinematic AVP in music video format that is shown before the end of the reception program. It is shot and edited while the wedding is going on. It shows the highlights of the wedding from preparations to the ceremony up to the reception program (if time permits). The onsite basically summarizes the wedding and wraps up the whole event through a dramatic video presentation

If you have the budget to send national videographers in your wedding, i recommend Bob Nicholas, MG Video, Threelogy, Mayad Studios or the most popular, Jason Magbanua. They are the top wedding videographers in the country and they even cater international clients. If you're on a tight budget and you want the same services with quality output and affordable rates, we have Videographers here in Zamboanga who can also do the same job. So here are three well-known videography teams in Zamboanga with their contact information and some of their works.

These are just some of Zamboanga's best in terms of Wedding Videography. These teams has their own strenghts and styles that suits different types of clients. But one thing is for sure, they can make your dream wedding videos a reality. Of course quality service may have higher prices so it's up to you to balance your budget and the type of service you prefer. If you still can't afford their services, you can try the local studios that offer video services but i can't assure you of the same quality of output. My advice for couples is to finalize your wedding dates and book your preferred Videographer as soon as possible because rates might increase. Dates (especially weekends) might already be booked 3-5 months before the event. I hope this post will help you decide in choosing your Videographer.
