Our first client was the brother of Jan-jan's girlfriend. Jun entrusted our new team to cover their most special day. Aside from the new team they selected, Jun and Jena had their wedding ceremony in a brand new event place called The Alexandra Events Garden at Cabato Road (facebook page). It means we were also the first team to cover an event there. Jun and Jena wanted a Garden wedding and it turned out really beautiful with the help of Jeff's coordination and event styling team.
We really wanted to have our own signature touch in our video. For this one I created a frame by frame animation of the letterings of their names. We also paid attention to symmetry in terms of composition. And, of course, the most important thing in every wedding video is capturing the most essential moments of the bride and groom. Check out Jun and Jena's exquisite wedding in Creology's first ever SDE.

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!
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.
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.
Here's one from Vista de Lente Videography. It was a rainy day but it didn't stop us from creating their wedding film a great one. It was heart melting when Franco became very emotional when Janice walked down the aisle. View their Prenup pics 
"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!
Presenting the first ever aerial shots used in a Zamboanga Wedding! Timmy and Marian were such a fun couple. During her wedding day, Marian is just filled with lots of emotions. She's so happy and positive as she was having her makeup. She said that she felt like she's the most beautiful girl in the world. She smiled ceaselessly and was just super excited for the wedding to start. While recording a short message for his soon to be husband, she can't stop her tears. Timmy, on the other hand, was sweating while giving his message. He was filled with mixed emotions.
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!
Hi! Just want to share this collab work with Vista de Lente Photography for a Prenup Shoot. They have this concept where the couple looks like they are in a chalkboard background. The original idea is to make a set where the drawings are really drawn in a huge black canvas. But they had only little time so we thought of Plan B which is to shoot them in a blank black backdrop then the drawing will be digitally composited in post-production. I really commend the couple for pushing through this concept and for having the patience and effort in lying down and doing these poses. Check out the last photo for the process in creating these images.
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. 
Here's an epic muslim wedding coordinated by Joe Harris Kari Events and Event Styling. It's quite a unique video since exchanging of vows are not common in Muslim weddings. Their heartfelt messages to one another shows that their love is sincere and pure. Enjoy the video!
After 10 years of marriage, Hannah and Reynier renewed their vows with the blessing of the church on May 30, 2013. At an early age Hannah took the challenge of motherhood and now they have three sons and a lovely daughter. Hannah has a British ancestry so they incorporated a tea-party like theme in their prenup shoot and decors. Check out the lovely family's special moment in this video.
It was elections day, and like every other responsible Filipino, me and my family went a public school to vote. After almost 3 hours of queuing, I finally got to cast my ballot and thank God, the PCOS machine didn't malfunction. It's 11am and the crew is at Lantaka Hotel already documenting the preparations for the big wedding of Sean and Aprille.
Hubert and Hannah's wedding was my first experience in editing an Iglesia ni Cristo wedding. It was a very simple ceremony with lots of hymn singing and prayers. There were no veil and cord ceremony or dramatic exchange of vows. All emotions were poured during the minister's powerful prayer for the couple which really struck me. The wedding ceremony was just half an hour long unlike Catholic weddings which usually lasts for two hours. Nevertheless, our team prepared a lot of ideas for Hubert and Hannah's same-day edit as we try to explore on our tradmark transitions.
