Trivia Time!

This guy here is not just a wedding photographer. John Ong (Jong to colleagues in the industry) composed one of the biggest hits back in the 90s. Which song? Mention the band Orient Pearl and the Tagalog version of this song comes to mind. We've known this piece of info before and we are glad that he's now sharing that it with the rest of the world thru his personal blog. Wanna listen to the song?

Oh My Gulay!

(photo courtesy of recfoodcooking.org) Are you & your partner vegetarians or strictly vegans? Are you considering 'Bounty Harvest' as a theme for your wedding? Or do you simply want to be unconventional? Why not ask your florist or event stylist to design a one-of-a-kind veggie bouquet for you? Use broccoli flowers instead of tulips. Try coriander or cilantro instead of the typical angel's breath. Add some romaine lettuce for foliage. Or get more creative and try carved carrots, squash and olives and shape them into colorful blooms. Sounds like a recipe for success! The possibilities really are endless! All you need is a little imagination and a some guts to carry something original on your big day. For edible vegetable bouquet centerpieces, inquire with your caterer or the hotel banquet officer. There are kitchen artists that they could tap to do them for you. You may head on to veggiebouquet.com and gourmetbouquet.net for more design ideas.

AVP Week: Day 4 - White Weddings turn Mango Red!

Whew! We were seriously concerned that the scheduled video for today would not make it on time. You see, we invited Naga-based Mango Red to do a short teaser but its editing somehow got tangled amidst the frenzy of the annual Peñafrancia festivities in Bicol which has gotten their hands full. But it's here, and it's truly worth our wait. Indeed, their video lives up to the spunk of their website and the way how edgy their photo shoots and album layouts look. We can only find one word to describe the clip: CINEMATIC! See it below.

AVP Week: Day 3 - A sequel to Threelogy

The 3 guys from Threelogy made the 2nd part to the video they presented during our first AVP Week. Being on the Top 5 of last year's W@Wie Awards makes them one of the favorites by the W@Wies. This video is again a visual paean for them. There must be a 3rd installment in this series if we assume they'll live up to their name... hehehehe! As we eagerly anticipate for their 'jedi', let's first watch as their empire strikes back. Click play below.

AVP Week: Day 2 - Bob's Cut

Our next video is from a fresh and young talent (the guy's only in his twenties!) whose name we first came across only this year. Bob Nicolas is the new guy on the block and fellow videographers agree that he's somebody to watch out for. The treatment of his one-minuiter clip here starts slow and builds-up towards the end. Watch it!
