Lights, Camera, Action!

We were blessed to have assembled this team to be a part of our special day AND blessed twice over that the process of discerning who to get among a bunch of very talented wedding suppliers didn't become too much of a challenge. Let's just say that for us these guys are obvious picks! Buti na lang libre ang schedule nilang lahat sa date ng kasal namin.

Photography
Foreveryday Photography by Gail Bitoon

Bright and natural. That's how Gail described his photos and that's exactly how we wanted it. Yung kapag tinignan yung mga litrato, they will tell stories of how the couples and their guests had so much fun during the event. Tapos everything is easy on the eyes, magaan tignan. 

We believe that moments are best captured (and treasured) unguarded. Nagustuhan namin yung composition ng candid shots ni Gail. Isa yun sa mga reasons kung bakit sooobrang sold kami sa kanya. Bonus na lang na nag-train siya under the famous Pat Dy.

We met over dinner and they (him and wife, Ching) were really cool to hang-out with. Dahil siguro magkaka-lapit lang yung mga age namin... wag ka nang kumontra Kath [Obi].

Videography
Andaya Digital Video by Christian Andaya

Moving! That's what came to our mind while viewing some of Christian's work. Sooobrang galing ng cinematography that as early as now we were so excited already to see how our's will look like! Again, bonus na lang that he worked with the top names in the field... Jason Magbanua and Mayad Studios.

We met him and his wife over dinner as well and he has been very accommodating enough to discuss a lot about wedding videography and a number of tips on how to make it more interesting. He even showed us his latest masterpiece. Goose bumps!

Hair and Make-up
HD Touch by Jen Pili


We didn't want to take risks on HMU artists right off the wedding fairs that we've been to. Gusto namin makuha ay yung referred by a friend who has firsthand experience being worked on by the artist, herself. Enter Zen, Kath's college friend and soon-to-be bride as well, who introduced us to Jen.

Nakita namin yung mga gawa ni Jen and we're satisfied with the transformations she did with her clients. As Zen's mom described, magaling siya gumawa ng kilay at mata. We booked her outright the next day and our meeting went out fun, parang typical tambay-night lang with friends.

La-La Land Alert

We found photos online of a wedding reception held at the Daza Park and we counted only about 11 round tables excluding the presidential and buffet tables. That's only around 120 to 130 seated guests maximum and we're originally targeting 200 (that's before we decided to further cut down to 150).

Now it looks like we either cut down again to 130 guests OR we have to look for another venue.

Which is really sad. 
I think the venue, as it is, looks very 
whimsy, private, and perfect for our wedding! 
Stress Drillon! [obi]

The venue easily saved us five-digit worth of money and looking for an alternative will add up to the budget. So we're really weighing our options very well.

Abangan!
