Last Friday, we presented a SDE: Same Day Edit for Roy and Cynthia. I’ve been looking forward to their wedding for quite awhile and it was a great wedding and a great day. It was also great to be able to share more of the day with all of their guests by showing this video at the reception.
With the SDE, we essentially take everything we’ve taped up to the beginning of the reception and edit together a clip that we’ll then show it at the reception.

A huge thank you to Bobby & Andrea for bringing us out to the beautiful city of Tagaytay to capture your day! It was a complete honor to be a part of...thank you from the bottom of our hearts! I will let the photos do the rest of the talking....:)

We love catching candids like these



A J + Almay = Laughter

The images speak for themselves ... Archie and Zandro had so much fun with A J and Almay! They were so relaxed and truly embraced the day - it was wonderful to see them together, and the candid photographs of them showed their personalities perfectly!



Our new budding photographers! While they were photographing the whole wedding party, they noticed them stealthily taking some photos of everyone from the side ... before they knew it, they became the highlight of the photograph!



The Defining Moment

On every Wedding Day there are 'defining moments' - those bursts of energy which reveal the true joy and excitement of the Wedding Day.


Another moment of intimacy as the bride and groom enjoy a quite moment together!


This is the type of image we are looking for the during the course of the day....an intimate moment between the bride and groom.

They found some great locations and we rocked them out . Jorge according to Grace is so romantic and he even hired someone to do the set-up for their candle light dinner. It was supposed to be a surprise dinner for Grace , but Grace as witty as she is, saw the contract at the front desk and it was no longer a surprise. The engagement session was very relaxed and lots of fun. We took their bike out for a stroll around Clear water, with matching ballon shower.

Balloon shower...

Another infra-red shots, beautiful scenery with lovely couple...

Hello!!! They brought some serious props....

Jorge and Grace so sweet!!!

How about this cool bridge set-up ? ( for candle light dinner )

I LOVE this one!

Looking forward to seeing you both again!!!!

This was a sweet and tender wedding, for sure. The ceremony took place at Christ the King Church ( Church in the Sky ) The day of the wedding, the rain stopped and a cool breeze ran across the area just in time for the ceremony.


This starts our day after session with Alvin and Margaret. We loved having as much time as we wanted to shoot with them.

The view from the church was spectacular...
