This is my long overdue assignment (aside from having my wedding gown dry-cleaned) that I owe from my suppliers for helping us make our wedding a wonderful one.
Rule of Thirds by JR Salonga
I read about JR in GirlTalk. I have a
list of all other photographers and let Lester decide. Fortunately, they also
had a package with ReelHD. Lester and I love our photos. They were full of
creativity and we can see his passion in photography through his shots. From
our prenup to our wedding, each picture has a story. Yung iba, take pictures as
a living. Kay JR, he takes pictures because he loves to, that's it. Kung baga,
bonus nalang at binayaran siya. Kita naman sa kuha e. Our wedding was very
simple but the pictures are very beautiful. My dad was also very happy with our
pictures. Galing daw ng photographer namin! Very professional, though a busy
person, he still makes sure to keep in touch to discuss things.
Ryan Borrel of ReelHD
I was surprised with how he did our
SDE. Every SDE kasi na pinopost niya, pinapanuod ko and I keep telling
Lester, his videos are getting better and better. With this, I can say,
pinag-aaralan niya yung couple and the song that goes to the video to put the
right videos. I thought Ryan was very serious but he’s very light. It might
have also helped that we talked to him in person a few days before our wedding
to discuss how we wanted the video. We did not dictate how he will do it but
instead told him that we want something fun, not very senti or dramatic. Yun
lang ang instructions; we did not even choose songs for the SDE. We’re very
happy with the output.

Froilan and
Erik of FroilanErik Artistry
Recommended
by JR Salonga, this team has amazing hands when it comes to airbrush makeup.
Froilan did my make up while Erik did my hair. The first time I inquired, I did
not book them right away. Although many brides from girltalk recommend them, I
still had second thoughts. Buti nalang they joined a bridal fair so I was able
to try their makeup and I liked it! They also did my make up during our prenup
and many people noticed the make up was beautiful. Froi and Erik are very
bubbly. You won’t get very tensed on your wedding day because they keep on
cracking jokes. Looking at the photos, Froilan and Erik did a good job
transforming me in to a wonderful bride.
Lowell and
Chie of 7TenFive Events
Another hard
to find supplier, an on-the-day wedding coordinator is very critical. This one,
we need to really do some research because the output are not very visible over
the net- your only basis will just be reviews. What I did, I made sure my
coordinator has already worked with one of my suppliers (they have worked with
Froi and Erik). Another professional, Sir Lowell is very respectful and easy to
work with. The wedding day went very smooth, and was perfectly managed. Ma’am
Chie was also very helpful – I did not book retouch so Ma’am Chie helped me fix
my hair and put on a little more make-up during the reception. I’m very happy
with how they worked – zero stress talaga sila – from the suppliers’ food to
receiving of flowers to everything! Lowell was even our host and he did our
programme outline. It was a lively event and there are parts of the program
that were new to us. Comments came from guests, “ang galing ng host niyo”and
even the pixture taking was not boring because of the crazy poses that engage
the guests to watch the people taking pictures. Highly recommended, very
professional, and very well organized!
