Caleruega, Tagaytay

It was a nice windy day in Caleruega. It has been awhile since we’ve had perfect weather for a wedding in Tagaytay. It is unfortunate that it is always raining when we have a wedding in tagaytay but today was simply perfect.

Our beautiful bride Chona who we only had the pleasure of meeting on her wedding day was so calm and relaxed when we arrived. Also the handsome groom who looks like Clark Kent was very accomodating. They were game for all our pictorials even if it was freezing outside.

Take note of the couple’s kiss in their SDE. It was the longest kiss I’ve ever seen. It went on forever! We had to cut it short. The song was not enough! HAHAHAHA! It went on and on and on!!!!!

Congrats Pedrito & Chona!

We were also features in Wedding Essentials January 2010. We were featured in their “On the Spot” which features wedding suppliers.

Paul & I, were treated like stars that day of the shoot. I was made up for the shoot by Alee Benson and our outfits were picked styled by Rey Santos. I didn’t really think I could wear what he picked for me when he showed me the dress. But when I put the dress on I instantly liked it on me that I went to Robinson’s Department Store to buy the exact dress I wore for the shoot. Thanks Rey for showing me I could wear a dress despite of my weight.

Paul looked rather handsome in his polo, knit & tie outfit, also styled by Rey Santos. I began to think that maybe we should get stylist to pick our outfits. I wonder if Rey is free to go shopping with us one day.

Special thanks to Marbee Go, Kitten Zapata & Tin-Tin Roxas for making us feel so special that day.

I met Ryan when he was part of the AVP love story of our former couple Sonny & Ira. He was the barkada of Sonny….Thanks to Sonny for the referral, I had the pleasure of meeting Ryan and Pat. A very simple and down to earth couple very much in love.

Edsa Shangrila Hotel

This was our first wedding for the year 2010. Sorry for the late post. It’s been very hectic for us this early in the year.

Desiree is a very adorable and bubbly girl. She is like a child at heart and she is very petite like a teenager. May i also add that she is an O.C bride that is very much in control. HEHEHEHE!

We normally arrive in the hotel room around 4 hours before the ceremony but this time we arrived 7 hours before the ceremony because even if the ceremony was still at 5pm the couple already planned their pictorials for 1pm in EDSA Shang. So when we arrived at 10am, to my surprise Des was not in her room. She was nowhere to be found. It was like the room was never used. Soon we found out from her mom that Des was arriving shortly. She later told us that she went home the night before because she got home sick. Now tell me that she is not a child at heart. HEHEHE! Shortly after, she arrived with her yaya bubbly as usual. This was the first time that ever happened to us that we arrived before the bride but all was good because the mom gave each of our staff Red Envelopes. Maybe that was our prize for being the early birds. HEHEHEHE!

Here’s their Onsite Video.

This wedding is a very special wedding for us. It was our last wedding for 2009 and for the 1st time our children were invited to the weddings as guests. We discovered after Alvin & Anna booked us that Martha, the bestfriend of my daughter Bianca, was Alvin’s niece. What a small world. …They have been classmates in Assumption since Kinder 1. They are now in Grade 2. Robin, the brother of Alvin and father of Martha, is an Augustinian like Paul. I don’t know why we didn’t connect it earlier but it was when Caron was editing the onsite that she realized that Alvin use to be her classmate in Grade 6 in CSA. Caron’s last year in CSA before moving to San Francisco. Alvin used the name Robert LLamas kac. So she never really connected them together. It was a very funny reunion of sorts. Oh, and the photographer Lee Llamas is Alvin’s relative.

Jesse and Ice make a beautiful couple. Ice looks like Aubrey Miles and Jesse like Danilo Barrios. HAHAHAHA! Jesse and Ice were one of the few couples that booked us without meeting us personally. Then we saw them once in a bridal fair. So when the big day came, i was wondering how it will be since we didn’t know much about the couple since we are used to knowing our couples very well before the wedding day. Surprisingly they were very easy to get along with. Ice is a very happy and kalog bride and so is Jesse. We also got to know the family of Jesse who are based in Dubai. Jesse grew up in Dubai then went to college in Manila and has been residing in Manila ever since. Ice works for Thompson Reuters and Jesse for Globe Telecoms. Even Tita Mhai the mom of Jesse is my Facebook friend now.

Tita, let me know when there is the big sale in Dubai so we can go there and go shopping….

As promised, here is the Onsite MTV of Aubrey and Danilo, (Jesse & Ice) for everyone here and in Dubai to see. HAHAHAHA!

Glenn & Lizette’s wedding was at 9am in Tagaytay. Normally it would be an easy day for us but the night before we finished our wedding at 12 midnight. We had to prepare all our stuff for the next wedding, got an hour of sleep then we were up again by 3am and off to Tagaytay for our 5am call time. It was a rainy and foggy morning with almost zero visibility going to Canyon Woods. Chinkie Uy Agregado the coordinator met us when we arrived having hardly slept also. Sleep seems to be out of the equation when its December. Peak season!!!
So the day went smoothly. We were right on schedule with Caron editing the onsite video. Actually, it was the first time ever for us to actually finish the Onsite edit even before the couple arrived at the reception venue. Wow!!! Not really fast editing. It was more of the photographer taking a bit too long with the post-nup pictorial with the couple. hehehe! Since we had so much time to kill before the showing of the Onsite MTV Caron decided to burn the Onsite to DVD but we also to dumped the footage to tape just for back up. I tested the DVD & it was playing and we waited for our turn in the program.
Glenn & Lizzette’s wedding is a Filipino inspired wedding. Everything was in Tagalog. The misalette, menu, give-aways, etc. Showtime came and the video appeared on the screen. And somehow the priest was speaking in English…parang something wasn’t right…and then I saw Fernbrook!!! OMG!!!! It was the wrong video that we burned to the DVD. It was the wedding 2 nights before. It’s a good thing we had a back up so i ran and changed the video and everyone loved the Onsite MTV of Glenn and Lizette.
Sorry guys. it was the 4th wedding in a row. It was time get some sleep in our 3 hour ride back to Manila. Hahahaha!

When Caron asked the question how they met each other to Marvin during the AVP shoot, she never expected what was going to happen next. I have never seen a guys as emotional as Marvin. He told us listening to Gary Valenciano brings him to tears. I didn’t believe it at first, because Marvin is a funny & tall metrosexual. Gec, on the other hand was the pretty but serious type. They both had lots of ideas for their AVP love story video but Marvin also warned us that he might not be able to do the shoot because he would be crying the whole time. So the day of the AVP shoot came, everyone was in high spirits until the interview portion came. It started with Marvin’s bestman as he was giving his message to the couple, he could not help but cry. Then it was Marvin’s turn. I think from the beginning to the end of the interview he was crying. It was very infectious. I think Caron was also crying while conducting the interview. Gec who was somewhere else while we interviewed Marvin said when it was her turn…”what did he say? He cried again noh?” Hahaha! It was definitely an interesting day for us!
After they watched the AVP, Marvin told us that we did a good job in editing the video because he didn’t look like a big mess. Gec on the other hand was calm and collect the whole time. On the wedding day, Marvin was emotional again as he saw his bride walking down the isle and when he gave his thank you speech. I was hoping to get a better shot of Marvin in the church but it was a little bit strict and tight in Iglesia to get good position.
Gec works for Del Monte and Marvin for PAL. Gec is also a chef and Marvin is studying to be a pilot. In their reception they surprised everybody with their first dance. They danced to the theme song of Dirty Dancing. “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” that was recorded by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. It was so unexpected to see Gec dancing like that. It was the perfect song for Marvin & Gec. Never mind that bride hurt her knee at the end of the song. Their wedding was still one of the best we’ve ever attended.

Watch their Onsite Video and AVP Love Story…
