our prenup shoot with paul vincent felt like a glamour photo shoot. renen's jokes, on the other hand, are mind numbingly...uhm...corny. haha. :) what the heck, as long as his girlfriend of ten years is laughing, they're good to go.

here's another avp from another december 20 wedding. i love this month!!! :)

daan-daang larawan ang nagdaraan sa aking paningin, daan-daang nakaraan ibinabalik ng simoy ng hangin... darn it, it's been a couple of weeks now but this rivermaya song is still the song i'm singing while showering. i love alternative opm, i mean opm in general. i was delighted when ice actually requested a tagalog song to be used in her avp.

i'm warning you - you'll watch this video, you'll remember high school (or college) where you tried to form your own band with a couple of guitar playing friends, maybe smirk a little... and then you'll try singing like bamboo for a week or so.

i'll let the clips do the talking. watch it here.

dave and ebeth booked us on a bridal fair and from then on it was all dave (grooms today sure know what they want). he'll contact me for our multiple meetings, send me text messages for updates, call me for a little chat but he won't drop by our office at ten in the evening 'coz, well, let's just say he heard some belete drive stories. :)

reliable sources say that this couple had prenup pictorials in singapore, another in laguna with asteeg photog jayson arquiza and a couple of dozens with playback.

here's the story that led to one magical night of free starbucks coffee and unlimited tequila shots. :)

i was told that it's the next big hit. people are raving about it. i can even say it's 'controversial.' i'm not talking about kapamilya's piolo pascual-angel locsin upcoming teleserye, no-no. bigger!

for now, i'll tease you a little, but i promise, come the longer version, you'll be delighted. :) watch it now.

i had my first experience of doing the onsite video in two consecutive days...and since it's gonna take a little while until the next same day edit/my next post, well,i kinda delayed uploading these videos a bit...also to let the previous videos sink in a little. :)

this avp's one's one of a kind. i remember celine asking me to come up with something different...so...we sat down for a meeting, scribbled some ideas, talked about martin nievera songs, exchanged non-avp related stories of our lives, and then we came up with a script. the actual shooting ain't as easy as we thought it would be but it was fun nonetheless.

inspired by the movie down with love (i had to see it for research), watch this video and see how danz and celine wait for ultimate "date" of their lives.

november 17, 2007 - chapel on the hill
canyon woods
balay indang

remember rob thomas? the voice behind hit songs 'push', 'unwell', 'bent'? last i heard, he's doing some solo act and he's got this new song you just might want to add into your ipod. as for me, i got nothing else to do but make an onsite video out of it. :)

going back to don bosco batulao where we held our high school retreat brought back some good memories. i saw no major changes though, except of course the chapel and the cool name that it has now.

the film look, the time lapse, the first kiss, my money shot (when i caught celine inside her bridal car praying) and all the clips in between; this video goes into my 'favorite wedding videos' list. see for yourself.

yesterday, after a year of absence, the green archers won their 7th men's basketball title. who would've thought, huh? i did. i knew that if there was a team that could beat the red warriors, it's the archers. after game one's victory, i knew the series was over. the other side's gotta be hurting real bad. the long drought continues for them and i doubt if the warriors can get into the finals next year. what's worse is that their gonna go to class today with long faces and, as that poor-acting-don't-show-it-again-and-on-your-way-flush-it-down-the-toilet- please uaap commercial portrays, they're gonna be having a pop quiz or two.

after they pulled that 14-0 feat, i was an instant marcy arellano fan. there was even a small voice inside my head saying it's okay if they get the trophy this time. honestly, i feel bad for ue 'coz next year's gonna be a lot tougher. lasalle's gonna have this yugoslavian kid back; simon atkins, this kid's got game, watch our for him; rico meirhoffer-whatever may have an mvp-ish season next year and i'm just talking about lasalle. i mean ateneo will come back strong, they always do; ust's got gervie cruz, this year's mvp; feu's young and very talented; the bulldogs, the falcons, the maroons gotta get some ekwe-like (foreigner center from ncaa champ san beda) imports...errr....players...to...you know, win.

enough about yesterdays news and more on the new video. the song is a 60's classic and if you try to limewire it, you may get a dozen of different versions from a dozen different artist. got it from one of my favorite american television series "weeds." mary-louise parker - hot! it was shot at "the metropolitan's" sample skyloft (yep, even the name they call their condo unit sounds real cool). gotta get me one of those, it's just that even in my dreams, i can't afford it. watch out for junnie and jamie's avp, chester's got some crazy stuff goin' on, it's coming soon. october 27, 2007 - save the date!

westgrove heights is one fine place to live in. the air is fresh, the grass is green, the sky is oh so blue. finally, i found a place away from the busy city life...i almost forgot that ayala's new 400 hectare subdivision was my office that sunday afternoon. (i would've said just part of the 400 hectare village but dave kinda drove into every street trying to figure out where the central park is located.)

it's our second time working with jayson arquiza of redefine weddings and it kinda makes it even harder to use our glidecam with him constantly teasing us how new and scratchless it is.:) luckily, dave voluntarily carried ebeth for a couple of minutes or so just to see its effect...and it is oh so smooth. (thanks to my sis for the neat gift...hmmm, fisheye and wide lenses and my birhtday and christmas...i'm just saying.)

their avp and onsite videos are coming soon. for the meantime, here's dave and ebeth's "save the date" video. just want to show you how cool the place is for a prenuptial shoot :)...and when i told you the sky was blue and the grass was green, it was an understatement.
