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.Sean and Aprille's love story began in their high school days. In college, I saw them together at school. Sean is a well-known dancer in Ateneo and I even got the chance to dance with him during Ateneo Fiesta since we're in the same college. He's such a friendly guy and everyone knows he so much in love with Aprille. But every relationships has its ups and downs.
I heard that they broke up. But soon, their love also rekindled. It wasn't hidden from the public that their love resulted to a cute baby boy. A proud mom, Aprille posted photos of this adorable little angel and I'm just happy to see that they are happy too. And now, they decided to take the relationship in a new level. The young couple finally tied the knot in front of God and their family and friends.
The couple trusted Trebor Z to do their videos and I got the privilege to do the SDE. There so much going on that I didn't have the chance to talk with the couple. I even screwed up their SDE, forgetting to put Aprille's vows. The time pressure of editing an SDE can sometimes take a toll on our decisions as editor. And recently I've been doing a lot of mistakes. It's always a learning experience. Anyways, I was an honest mistake :D Sorry Sean and Aprille. Peace! But I edited it again and here's the perfect video showing the happenings of their special day.

So, i've been teaching Digital Multimedia again this summer but for IT students this time. We're done with Advanced Photoshop lessons and it's time for them to learn vectors with Illustrator. This week, I gave them activities to practice their vector muscles by tracing shapes with the Pen Tool. It is the most basic skill one must have in order to make vectors but takes a lot of time to master vector Illustration. I asked them create their own logos based on their made-up company or organization. Some were pretty okay, others impressed me but most were just blah. XD hehe. Anywyas, here are some of the output of my students.
Here's another Tausug wedding featuring Zamboanga's famous family, Nuño and Salih. Nuño are very well known in Taluksangay, an old Muslim community in the east coast of the city. Their wedding was filled with prominent personalities and persons with big names. Nonetheless, the wedding is all about the couple. Check out our transitions especially with groom who was very friendly and game to whatever directions we gave him. Here's Abdel and Ain as they tie the knot in their traditional Muslim wedding and Sharia ceremony.
Ghapz and Shamie works in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as nurses. The bride, Shamie, is from Cebu, and they decided to have their Sharia wedding here in Zamboanga. Her family flew here to witness her momentous occasion in life. They were filled with emotions showing how they truly love the bride. The tall and handsome groom vowed to love her forever starting in this beautiful ceremony. Their pagkawin happened at Pavilion while the elegant Sharia rites happened at Astoria Regency.
When it comes to vintage themed events, no one does it better than Daydream Events by Aleli Tan. It has been months since my last collaboration with Maam Ai and im always excited to do videos like this. "It's all about the details" is the motto. Check out the classic wax stamp and her scroll invite. The location is a private residence of a doctor here in Zamboanga. The outdoor shots were taken at Centro Pastoral where the clouds were epic! Check out Alyssa's predebut video below. Enjoy!

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.
Ian is such an expressive groom. During the preps, when we was asked if how he feels, he said he's only worried about perfecting their first dance and he doesn't care about the rest anymore.haha. He's such a funny dude. Diane, on the other hand seems to be a silent type of girl. She looked nervous during the preps but with her sister by her side all the time, she did well. Their wedding was fun-filled with all their families and friends who supported them. For us, we tried our best to deliver a clean and moment-filled SDE. Check out our trademark transitions during the preps!
