september 19, 2008 – national shrine of the sacred heart
the mandarin hotel
blue leaf

i didn’t expect the impromptu meeting but working with paul and his team is always a great pleasure and a whole lot of fun. =) that said, and for the first time ever…(including the playback blog) i am posting a picture of myself with gen, of course, and paul and ayvih from arnie and mtich’s partypicslive booth.

haha. as soon as i was done with the onsite video (which by the way has got some crazy glides and stars a beautiful couple,) i was outside waiting for my turn to get photographed and pulling some people to have their pictures taken with me. dang, i am a cam whore! here’s another picture of me with my team: gen, edward, erwin, aron. (i’m the hottie in blue stripes! yeah!!!) =)

download arnie and mitch’s onsite video here.

p.s.

it has been a long but totally exciting week for me. all i can say about it is that i’ve got something cooking. i ain’t gonna tell just yet so stay tuned. =)

september 6, 2008 – st. james the great(est)
vivere suites
the palms

gieves was absolutely gorgeous standing in front of st. james’ entrance. her vintage wedding gown was totally breathtaking…just wow! =) it was some kinda time-stood-still moment and i was a witness.

gen’s never been with me at st. james during a wedding and i really wished she was there (she was at the wedding expo.) i wanted her to visualize how she’s gonne do it come her turn to walk down that very same aisle next year. =) yeah, she’ll be crying and mess her make-up bad, she is very very emotional.

today’s onsite song is last week’s number one in the charts. give me anything coldplay i’d be like a kid with candy; give me something rock and i’ll come up with something interesting at the very least…and just because it is a wedding video, it doesn’t mean you’re gonna need love music. =) check out the video.

august 30, 2008 – chapelle notre dame de vie
ferbrook gardens
bellevue hotel

fernbrook gardens was a sight to behold during the golden hour…while i was flat on my back, (shooting at an angle that shows the bride and the orange sky) the beautiful moment actually made me realize how young i am in this industry. it was, after all, the first time that i experienced a 6pm ceremony.

the last couple of weeks have been rough and crazy for gen and myself (our onsite laptop broke down, cancelled weddings, my dog’s overpriced food and his allergies, and lots of other stuff)…these things happen and i’m in desperate need of some peace of mind. that being said, as soon as i heard that apple’s operating system recognizes windows, i got me a macbook pro!…and no better time to test our newest baby than trix and gel’s wedding. =) i must admit, it was totally impressive.

fernbrook gardens; queen and her team; sound salad; josiahs catering; randall (doing a wedding with jason on the other end of the hall), our ptv team; these, incidentally, are our suppliers too, and i don’t know about gen but it felt like some kind of dejavu. hmmmm, must be finally sinking in…

oh yeah, the video…here it is! enjoy!
