I really like the uniqueness of Germay and Rea's wedding. It's so hipster with all the Volkswagen Vans, cute letterings on stage and all the nitty gritty details that makes wedding a wedding. Better Days Events really stepped up their game in styling themed wedding and i believe this is their best one yet. The ceremony took place at the Church of Ebenezer Bible School, which is also our first time there. The place is so peaceful and big and the dorms look like old American houses. Anyways, check out Germay and Rea's SDE by Trebor Z AudioVisuals.
Here's my only SDE for this month! XD Together with the new Trebor Z team, we created this beautiful SDE for Ric and Roan's Love Concert Wedding. The second song i used here is one of my favorite songs, too. The first song i used is from Step Up 3D soundtrack. This is also our first time to render the video in Anamorphic Ratio. Hope you like it!Ric & Roan Wedding

The start of April has been a lot of fun especially when we conducted Sweet Shots an Event Filmmaking Workshop, the first of its kind here in Zamboanga. We held it at Gazebo, Astoria Regency on April 2-3, 2014. Robert Zapata Jr or "Trebz", our boss in Trebor Z, invited two of Philippines best videographers, Christian Andaya and Mike Jamandre to talk about the gears, workflow and tips in shooting and editing wedding films. The two masters started also in humble beginnings but with the guidance of Philippine's most popular Videomaker himself, Jason Magbanua. They were so kind to come over the city to share their time and knowledge in the field we love.
Woohoo! I'm super excited for Sweet Shots Event Film Making Workshop, the first of its kind here in Zamboanga. Trebor Z are now doing all the preps for the 2-day fun-filled event featuring two of Manila's well-known Video Masters, Christian Andaya and Michael Jamandre. We also created this promo video which is literally about the two words, "Sweet" and "Shots".haha Talk about being creative ;) During the production we just thought about the concept. For 'sweet', we used candies, softdrinks, sugar, and couples who are sweet :)lol! And for 'shots', we used a dart board, shot glasses with drinks, lenses and selfies ;)
For almost a month of no SDE, i'm back in event film making with the Trebor Z team. Val and Rhea trusted our team to capture the most important day of their life. The song was chosen by the couple along with other songs which are very fitting for SDE's. The song that i chose was also the song for their first dance, which means i did the right decision to choose this song among the 5 choices. Their wedding was an exquisite one. We got to work with Roy Guilly Photography and their team, where one of my former students is a part of. I definitely love their prenup photos which was styled by vintage queen Maam Aleli Tan. CMK was the coordinator and they gave the couple a pretty reception set up. So here's the highlight of Val and Rhea's wedding.
On April 2 to 3, 2014, Trebor Z Audio Visuals will be conducting the most awaited Event Film-making Workshop in Zamboanga City. Two prominent Videographers from Manila will be flying over to be our guest speakers. Jason Magbanua's Creative Videographer, 
The year has just started and I got the privilege to travel with the crew for an out of town wedding. This will be my second out of town wedding but my first Tagaytay wedding! It's so exciting to go back there because the last time me and my family went there, it was just too short and we went at night so we weren't able to fully experience the place. The wedding day was January 12, a Sunday. We woke up early because the wedding was 11 in the morning which was held at the Church on a Hill. The reception followed at the beautiful Hill Creek Gardens. Shoutout to Sir Kerwin Baldovino for always hitching us there. Check out their SDE here.
"Fall in love again with this wedding onsite video of Chuck and Kath truly the love of the couple for each other makes a wedding beautiful. And the awesome thing about weddings, is the love of God that you'll feel as every part of the celebration unfolds. Because, in every wedding, it is God who is the happiest when two people unite. have a Merry Christmas everyone!" - Amor Lapiz of Faith and Love Events
For me, this is probably our best work so far :) There's just a time when everything falls perfectly into place. We have a great couple, a great video team and suppliers who works to make this wedding perfect. I want to elaborate more about Onat and Jen's SDE but, i'll just quote the words of our boss, Trebz:
It's already December! Which means its Wedding season again! For two weeks I already did six SDEs, one for a birthday and five weddings. I'll start with Jerome and Rina. Rina is one of the prettiest brides this year. With their friends and family, Jerome and Rina are truly blessed with love and support for their marriage. Watch the highlights of their wedding. Enjoy!
Here's a beautiful, emotion filled wedding of Stephen and Cheryl. I love how the couple chose to celebrate their wedding with their heritage. The reception had Chinese themed design, complete with lanterns and huge temple-like doors at the entrance. Check out their SDE below. 
After the month long Zambo Crisis, i'm back in doing SDE with my team, Trebor Z Audio Visuals. Alfrith and Michelle's big wedding was attended by their families and friend not only from Zamboanga but from other cities and countries, too. Nothing can hinder love, indeed. Take a peek of the highlights of their big day in this SDE.
This is my first time to witness a church wedding in the evening. It started at 6PM and reception already started at 9. Nevertheless, the wedding was such a unique one. The reception was held at the Poolside of Regency and the pool was transformed into a stage with fountain. There was also a spectacular fireworks show that really made their wedding very romantic. I love the stage setup by Raymond Rabanal, too. Congratulations to Patrick and Grace! Here is the same-day edit!
It's not every muslim wedding that a song like this is chosen for their SDE. Nabz and Chang's love song is "Always" by Switchfoot. From their entrance to their wedding highlight video, this song really defined their love for each other. They both work in Saudi and had their wedding here in Zamboanga. An emotion-filled family was there to witness as they walk along the aisle. It is indeed a precious moment for the couple as they stood side by side with their family and friends around.
