“Mike and Meril’s First Dance”

A well planned wedding, every bits and details personally managed obsessively by the couple themselves… and what did they get?  A “close to perfection” wedding!!!

I admire how Mike and Meril prepared their wedding without the aid of any coordinators.  In fact, they even had a website: www.mikeandmerilsayido.multiply.com. It’s true that it’s very hard not to have any but Mike and Meril did it and even better!

Posted by Ferdie Flores, MSCE, Philippine Wedding Photographer

Event Date: 21 Dec 2008
Preparation: Fernandina Suites, Cubao, QC
Ceremonies/Reception Venue: Oasis
HMU: Nina’s Touch
Coordination: WPeachy Castro-Tiu of bitsndetails wedding planners and hosts

I found a new friend in Arnold and Donna!  During our studio prenup photoshoot I learned from them that Arnold was a frequent visitor to our blogsite.  Actually, Arnold is also starting his own Photo and Video gig back in Italy!  They are, by the way, based in Italy!  Arnold mentioned that I should conduct trainings in photography… I say… I still have so much to learn but then again I can always share!… probably soon, I’ll start something in this blog… I’ll let you know!

Anyway back to Arnold and Donna’s Blissful Oasis wedding! And to express Arnold and Donna’s love story here is an extract from the chocolate cover that Arnold printed by himself (he actually repacked the chocolates):

A Lifetime Journey

Eleven Years ago, we found each other kindred soul.
Through the test of time and with abundant
amount of patience and trust,
we were able to prove to each other that
the kind of love we have is
the kind that one keeps for a lifetime.
Thus, on September 15, 1997 we pledged our lifelong commitment
to each other in a small civil wedding ceremony.
Now we are saying our vows anew.
This time before God, and you, our family and dearest friends.
And no matter what, we will always share one life and one love.
We pray that you will all continue to be
a witness to our love story

-Arnold & Donna

…and to witness the celebration, here’s my share!

Waking up from an barely 1 hour of sleep is very hard! I arrived home that night before at past 1 Am from a Tagaytay wedding! Oh well, I’ve gotten used to this December wedding season after all, December only happens once a year.

It was my first time to work with Neil Burdeos of Director’s Cut Video Production and his hyperactive team! Great team by the way!  I think, Jing (the bride) knew Neil way back as they were always saying jokes during the preps, everyone was having fun!!!  I also learned that they’ll be showing a same-day edit video, too bad I couldn’t stay till the reception… (I’ll probably visit Neil site soon once they’ve posted it)

Anyways, sharing with you some beautiful images of Jon and Jing’s wedding!

As the Yuletide Season drew near, Boni and Cindy were doubly excited!

We were all laughing during Cindy’s preps as she was all game while Boni, on the other hand, soft spoken! But to my surprise, he goes nuts and becomes at ease with his friends during the reception.

Here are some images during their wedding! :)

Boni’s lovely bride Cindy!

V+V stands for Von and Valerie but then again Valerie prefers to be called Mae. You’ll find it on the luxurious wedding cake, marked with svarovsky crystals! (mind the stones, they are not edible!)

Von Ryan and Valerie Mae found each other after failed relationships! But, as they say… some people are meant to be!!!

Here are more beautiful images during their wedding:
