Nikki and Billy - Close Up to Love!

~

So we're guilty of just loving this song and since it has been 3 years since we last used it, it was refreshing to get a chance to have a go with it for another story-driven SDE for Nikki and Billy. It was a fun experience for everyone though I can't vouch for their dogs (yes, plural because one was hyper active and one was calm just to share a bit of behind-the-scenes).

Charm and Adrien - Falling In

~

Many thanks to J Lucas Reyes (Charm and Adrien's photographer, and our neighbor), he's the one who suggested the idea with the balloons you'll see below. We had a blast on this wedding day. Lots of kids playing around, a beautiful location and Charm and Adrien's vows - indeed everything fell in to place together.

Their prenup shoot was just as fun and you'll see why below :)
(I wish we could share how wacky things can get behind the scenes during our e-session shoots!)

Jenn and Rodney - Dimsum Luvin!

~

They LOVE food! Chinese food particularly and so do I. That's why we grabbed the opportunity and the challenge to conceptualize their e-session. The picnic thingy was getting a bit old and very much tried and tested so we wanted to twist the theme a bit so that they're still outdoors but having dimsum and noodles instead of the usual pastries and soda and the popular fruit/picnic basket.

This is where our personal experiences and travels came in handy because I remembered how me and Joannie always had dinner on the streets of Mongkok and not in the restos. I remember how the locals wrote their menu on chalkbooards, the food carts on the sidewalk, the paper lanterns. The Hong Kong al fresco street-dining experience. The only thing left to do was to style it up for our cameras!



Oh, and they fancy board games and you'll those after the break :)

Carla and Pio - Love and Pillow Fights!

~

Carla and Pio's SDE is just too fun to just write or read about it. While we think of a write-up worthy of describing this charming couple, just hit play for now and enjoy :)

Jeng and Marco

~

It was our first time at Cafe 1771 shooting Jen and Marco's e-session. We went there expecting anything and planning nothing at all. After a few walks around the place, Joannie laid out on them a quick storyboard to make things more interesting. We were glad they were game to be stars for a day - acting out, having fun, dancing around 1771. And with a beautiful Caleruega wedding and a heartfelt exchange of vows, the wedding video that follows is immortalized for their children and grand kids to see :)

Jen and Abner - Tangled!

~

Thinking of a write-up for a bride who's a writer can be sheer pressure. It's a great relief that Jen, since the day they signed up for our services, has become one of our good friends in the wedding supplier community. She also gave us an exciting 'yes' when we proposed a 'Tangled' theme for their e-session and save the date shoot.

Kind-of like Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, this was one wedding we all were excited about but at the same time didn't want to have it mark the end of all the excitement and more important, the friendship.

Kitchie and Ricky - Romance in Rain

~

Last year this month, we went to Laiya and shot in heavy downpour. Now just after the storms wrecked Sofitel, we went back for a scheduled e-session we can no longer postpone for a later date. Of course , it rained heavy and non-stop. We had to shoot in the rain or not do the shoot at all since Sofitel's interiors were being renovated. So here's Kitchie and Ric's rain-drenched drama - and a few after the jump.

Update: We're also sharing below their smash-hit of an onsite video. See the rain drama in action together with some of their wedding day highlights. Crank up the speakers ok?
