Mark and Jen's Unique Prenuptial Shoot

Prenuptial Shoots doesn't always have to be outdoor ...  It doesn't always have to be in La Mesa Ecopark (the most common and most popular venue for prenup pictorial) or any forest themed places ...  

Couples can think out of the box, explore their wildest imagination and think of the MOST UNIQUE WAY they like to have for their prenuptial shoot.

Meet my July 30 couple - Mark and Jen - they had their prenuptial photo shoot at a very beautiful kitchen (it's actually the kitchen of one of the PROMINENT POLITICAL FIGURE here in the Philippines where Jen had the chance to work as a chef before).  

I love the concept (c/o Mark and Jen and of course their photographer Icebox Imaging) and I love the natural shots and how the couple enjoyed the moment.  Wearing the apron is actually a suggestion from Mark - bespeaks of his personality "no hesitations, can go all the way and cool"...

Enjoy the pictures ...

Best,

What's an Onsite Wedding Video?

An ONSITE WEDDING VIDEO is the current trend right now in the wedding industry.  Soon-to-be wed bride and groom would invest more in their Photo/Video Supplier and would avail of the Onsite Wedding Video Service aside from the usual AVP.

So, what is an AVP?  In the wedding point of view, AVP is the audio visual presentation - usually it showcases the growing up pictures of the couple (flashback photos), their pictures together as a couple as well as their prenuptial pictures.

Alright, I get the whole point of the AVP.  Then, what's an Onsite Wedding Video?

Well, it's the big thing in the reception wedding program.  I always tell my couple, if during the church ceremony the highlight/climax is the couple's exchange of marriage vows - the Onsite Wedding Video is the main highlight in the reception ceremony.

Why?

It practically shows what transpired during the dressing preparation of the couple at the hotel/suite/residence, the church ceremony highlights and the on-set of the reception program.  This would give your guests the opportunity to see another side of the couple during the preps, did the groom cried when the bride was walking the aisle, the bride's bridal march, the couple's grand entrance etc.

Onsite Wedding Songs (Part 1)

And since ONSITE WEDDING VIDEO is the current trend now in the wedding industry ... let me share my preferred choices for Onsite Wedding Video - first 4 songs (this will only a be series of featured songs, i'll indicate why I like them for onsite video):


1.  If It's Love by The Train

• my top choice; 1st reason is because it's from the Train, 2nd music and lyrics are amazing
• An excerpt from the lyrics:

If it's love, And we decide that it's forever

No one else could do it better

If it's love

And we're two birds of a feather

Then the rest is just whenever

And if I'm addicted to loving you

And you're addicted to my love too

We can be them two birds of a feather that flock together

Love, love

Got to have something to keep us together

Love, love

That's enough for me

2. Marry You by Bruno Mars

• feel good music coming from Bruno Mars; such a creative musician to come up with such a beautiful song - one word PERFECT SONG for a WEDDING
• obviously the lyrics bespeaks of the guy saying to his bride "I wanna marry you, just say I do"
• Take a look at the lyrics:

It's a beautiful night

We're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby

I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes

Or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares, baby

I think I wanna marry you

Well, I know this little chapel

On the boulevard we can go

No one will know

Oh, come on girl

Who cares if we're trashed

Got a pocket full of cash we can blow

Shots of patron

And it's on, girl

Don't say no, no, no, no, no

Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And we'll go, go, go, go, go

If you're ready, like I'm ready

3.   You make me smile by Uncle Kracker

• another top choice; if during my wedding I had an onsite wedding video this will be the song hehehe (cheesy!)
• why I love this song - obviously the lyrics says it all - Why would you want to marry that person?  All because HE/SHE MAKES YOU SMILE, just the thought of HIM/HER makes me WILD
• Check out the lyrics:

You're better then the best

I'm lucky just to linger in your light

Cooler than the flip side

Of my pillow, that's right

Completely unaware

Nothing can compare to where

You send me, lets me know that it's okay

Yeah, it's okay

And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed

Sing like bird, dizzy in my head

Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Oh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone,

Somehow you come along just like

A flower pokin' through the sidewalk crack

And just like that

You steal away the rain, and just like that

Don't know how I lived without you

'Cause every time that I get around you

I see the best of me inside your eyes

You make me smile

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed

Sing like bird, dizzy in my head

Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Oh, you make me smile

4.  Marry me by The Train

• another beautiful song by the Train; try watching it's official video; I love it that this words are incorporated the lyrics "Marry me today and everyday, Marry me if I ever get the never to say hello in this cafe, say you will, say you will"
• Definitely the music & the lyrics says it all - the very definition of why you would want to grow old with that person, why you want to be with that person forever
• Check out the lyrics:

Forever can never be long enough for me

Feel like I've had long enough with you

Forget the world now, we won't let them see

But there's one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted

Love has surely shifted my way

Marry me today and every day

Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe

Say you will, say you will

Together can never be close enough for me

Feel like I am close enough to you

You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you

And you're beautiful

Now that the wait is over

And love and has finally shown her my way

Marry me today and every day

Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe

Say you will, say you will

Promise me you'll always be happy by my side

I promise to sing to you when all the music dies

And marry me today and everyday

Marry me if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe

Say you will, say you will marry me

The magic voices of ANIMA CHOIR

One of my favorite wedding suppliers - ANIMA CHOIR - a versatile ensemble.  Their music repertoire includes acappella, sacred/religious, classical, broadway, standards, jazz and pop pieces.  

(Image Credits: http://www.freewebs.com/animachoir/abouttheensemble.htm)

Aside from that, they're such a great team and easy to deal with especially Sir Roger.  I always enjoy their rendition of Seasons of Love, Ain't No Mountain High Enough and Umagang Kay Ganda.  You may view their performance videos at http://www.freewebs.com/animachoir and you be the judge!

I'm sure once you listened to them, you'll be enchanted with their magic voices!

Ryan and The APPETITE BAND

I love music (i love listening to it, singing songs and dancing to its tune).  For wedding music, there's nothing that I can think of who can deliver ULTIMATE SATISFACTION but Sir Ryan and his band - THE APPETITE BAND.

I consider them as one of my favorite wedding supplier.  They totally rock - from 80's, 90's, rock and roll, ballroom, r & b, love songs - name it, they can sing it.

If you're looking for band supplier to BRING THE HOUSE DOWN, definitely it's Appetite Band (0923-7299902 or 0915-7735652).

They will keep you on your dancing feet and you'll even ask for more.

Candles used in church wedding ceremony

I'm often asked by my couple-clients what candles will they be using during the church ceremony for their wedding.  It depends actually, if the couple will be having a Unity Candle Ceremony (usually adapted in a Christian ceremony) that means there will be additional candles.  


So to help everyone, below are the usual candles used for the wedding (photos taken from my recent event courtesy of Elnar-Aldeguer Wedding):


Ceremonial Candles

-very important; these are being lighted by the couple's Candle Sponsors (secondary sponsors); most of the time this is included in the church's package though couple has the option to provide for their own (usually customized candles prepared by the couple) - just make sure that the candle fits the church's candelabra




Offertory Candles

-important;  these candles are being offered by the couple for church's use and are usually brought by the assigned relative/friend of the couple during the Offertory Ceremony;  Couple can personalize this using their color motif






Unity Candle

-very important (for Christian Ceremony);  The Unity Candle Ceremony has always been part of the Christian Ceremony although early part of the 90's it has been adapted by Catholic Wedding (though some Catholic Churches do not include this in their ceremony as they would say this is for Christian rites only)
-after the ceremonial candles has been lighted by the Candle Sponsors, the couple will then light their Unity Candle to symbolize unity/oneness in their lives




Couple's Lighting Candles

-very important if couple has the Unity Candle Ceremony; these are 2 small size candles used by the couple to get light from the ceremonial candles after which they will lit their unity candle




Memorial Candle
-important; there is a memorial candle for couple's whose parents have already gone;  from the word itself they'd offer this in memory of their loved one - this is optional and yes, some Catholic Churches do not allow this as well.




So there, enjoy the ceremony!
