Dev And Em Ever After

We spent our 3rd Wedding Aniversary in a very special way. We had the honor to cover and capture the memories of Dev and Em who we met while covering local gigs, as these two are part of the band Circa :) You should really check out their music (highly recommended ^_^)

More than just making beautiful music together, Em and Dev's love and union is actually 12 years in the making - like wow! How many people do you know that have stayed that long in a relationship right? That's why being able to witness their big day was a really big honor for us, especially since we get to immortalize these memories through our photographs. So even if the third wedding anniversary meant no date and having to work all day - we were more than happy to be behind the lens for their special event.

Leaves for work were long filed, it had to be two days to make sure we were well rested to cover a wedding. Before the actual wedding though, we also shot their engagement shoot (more in the blog here) you might want to check that out too! ^_^ 

For the actual wedding we were already up by 5:00 AM to make it for our 10:00AM call time at the Vivere Hotel in Alabang. Two thumbs up to this hotel - everything was beautiful! From the lobby, to the rooms and the Function room-everything! A good thing about having your wedding in December? They bring out all the Christmas lights and decor and that adds for an extra 1,000 points in photos and videos :p I decided to have our wedding in December for the lights alone :p 

The ceremony was held at St. James The Great Parish in Alabang, it's a really beautiful church but very strict. Paul and I had to attend a Wedding Suppliers' seminar. I kid you not, it was like attending a !arriage seminar but with other wedding photographers, videographers and wedding coordinators. You seem the Church is so beautiful that a lot of people have their wedding there and if you noticed, a lot of weddings nowadays have become some sort of production number with different gimmicks and what not, you know what I mean with the smoke machine, butterflies, song and dance number etc. the seminar is to help ensure that the solemnity of the ceremony is kept in tact, which I can agree to. Having a few do' s and dont's for wedding suppliers and providers is actually not a bad idea. :) 

This was also a special wedding for us, since we were also working with our fellow Indie-Media Partner - The His And Her Project who were handling the video documentation of the beautiful wedding. ^_^

All in all the wedding was indeed a beautiful ceremony, everything went smoothly from the start until the end, no running around and confusion and/or chaos that sometimes does happen in weddings :p

When the Bride and her father were having their first dance to the tune of Kermit the Frog's Rainbow Connection, I could feel the year stings in my eyes, and busied myself fixing bags that didn't need fixing :p and can I also say that the Speech of the Bride's mom was soooo beautiful! It really was :) 

Definitely a highlight for us this year, we're honored to have been tapped to capture the beautiful moments and memories of the now- Mr. and Mrs. Dayanghirang - Congratulations to the newlyweds!
