Events + Movies: Krispy Kreme Screens Power Rangers

If you've already seen the new Power Rangers flick then you probably already know what all the buzz is about with Krispy Kreme and the movie. 

I was pleasantly surprised myself when I was watching the movie and there was all this reference to the yummy Doughnut chain. I knew that Krispy Kreme had a new product in line with the movie, I got a chance to try it a few weeks before and I loved the Power Rangers Donuts! Its basically a chocolate glazed donut, with silver sprinkles, Power Rangers thunderbolts with the five Ranger colors. Its also vanilla filled!   

They have an awesome deal for these donuts where you can buy 6 Power Ranger donuts and 6 Original glazed donuts for only P299! Hurry though because its only up until April 7! 

So going back to Krispy Kreme in the Rangers movie it was (in my opinion) product placement done right. The film's writers just went for it, literally just went for the jugular and the kill. No, I know that product placement in movies is really tricky, there have been many who been burned by it but the 2017 Power Rangers does it right by just going for it and even incorporating it into the story. They made into a joke that works, one where the audiences can genuinely just laugh and enjoy. Some may not be fans of the product placement but you know it will really boil down to how you decide to leave the cinema with it. 

I decided to like it and just wanted more donuts! If I could get these Ranger donuts from it then not bad eh? 

We were fortunate enough to have been invited to the Krispy Kreme screening of "Power Rangers" at the Central Square Mall in Bonifacio High Street (Dolby Surround!). When we got there there were Rangers in costume, cute kids having their pictures taken, a super cute booth and of course the Power Rangers donuts! 

Thank you so much Krispy Kreme for having us! We had a great time! <3 It was an awesome #KrispyKremeMoment 

Now to get myself those donuts (again).

Halloween Free Comic Book Day with the Kids!

SUPER late post! Sorry but we've been super busy with shoots and events but anyways better late than never right? 

This year's Halloween Comic Book Fest was extra special for Paul and I since this time we had our nephew and nieces tag along with us. Of course the place to be was at Fully Booked in BGC. 

9 year old - Jillian, Paul's goddaughter has been showing interest in reading, so we started giving her extra copies of our hauls from the past Free Comic Book Days - the ones for kids of course. 

Once Jillian had a comic book in her hands, you couldn't disturb her anymore! She could even read while the car was moving, which of course is something that we told her not to do.

A few months ago, Jillian's younger sister asked me for comic books and when I said that she could get them for Christmas, she asked to receive them earlier. So I thought why not bring the whole gand (consisting of  3 nieces and 1 nephew) to Halloween Comic Book Fest? 

It was perfect! There were less people during Halloween Comic Book Fest si we wouldn't have a hard time looking after the kids. 

I remember during the previous Free Comic Book Fests that we've attended I would always admire the parents who would bring their children along to pass on the love of comic books but this time we had our own bunch of 'next generation" comic book lovers. 

I would think that they were pretty much overwhelmed when they got to the table to choose their three free comic books. I had to urge for them to choose, I guess after the initial shock subsided they made their picks and were also equally happy to get freebies like balloons, snacks and candy - of course it's not Halloween with out these treats right? 

The kids were able to see some cosplayers - they weren't that many though since we arrived early, maybe next year we';; come later so the kids could see more cosplayers. Hopefullly next year the kids won't be shy about taking photos with the cosplayers. :) 

On the way home, Jillian couldn't keep her eyes off the free comic books she got. Aside from that we all sang out loud to songs the kids loved that were in my iTunes such as "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" from Fall Out Boy (the kids know it because of Pitch Perfect 2. 

All in all it was a great way for us to bond with our pamangkins. I know that they enjoyed it just as much as we did!   

Dev and Em's Prenup BGC Prenup Shoot

Definitely one of the highlights for PCheng Photography this year was being tapped to shoot Em and Dev's Prenup shoot and cover their wedding (which coincidentally is one the same date as ours-3 years ago ^_^) 

We met Em and Dev through our coverage of local music and gigs, in case you haven't noticed it yet these two love birds are actually from one of favorite local bands - Circa! So being asked to cover this important day in their lives is definitely a big honor for us,

As if -that was not a big enough project, the actual wedding would fall on our 3rd Wedding Anniversary! So we'd be sharing the same wedding date as them! There must be something about December 10 eh? 

Well before the actual wedding, of course we had to do the prenup shoot which was done around mid-October and through the couple's request we haven't released/posted/blogged about the photos :p 

Hence, waiting until the last minute before posting them ^_^

The couple asked us to shoot around BGC and it was a great thing that Sonja's Cupcakes (which is also their Wedding Vendor) allowed for us to invade their store on a Sunday morning- so to speak and and shoot there! ^_^  It was definitely a sweet experience- pun intended! So I would definitely suggest for future brides out there to check their contracts with their vendors or maybe inquire if you can have your engagement photos done at their shop!

It was definitely a good first set during our engagement shoot since Paul is always anxious about shooting in public and getting told off by the guards, remember that this was during the time when the whole Photography Regulations in BGC have not been settled yet but needless to say we weren't scolded by any of the guards (probably because we didn't have a tripod with us) we could have just gotten lucky but I definitely suggest that you guys check out the new BGC Photography Regulations before going out on a shoot :)

We definitely had a fun day at Sonja's cupcakes and shooting around BGC (going on Ninja mode to avoid guards) there are just so many beautiful spots to shoot at and of course Dev and Em were a beautiful couple and were a pleasure to shoot <3 

We're really excited for this project, as it is the biggest that we've ever tackled in our humble career and it is with overwhelming gratitude that we take on capturing the memories of one of the most special days in their lives :)  

Congratulations guys!
