09.25.10 Mabel + Frank

Ceremony and Reception: The Alumni House. University of Redlands

Hidden in the University of Redlands campus, the Alumni House was a gem, as our couple had described it. The weather was a bit on the warm side, but absolutely perfect for Mabel and Franks special day.
We just love it when couples write their own vows! Gives a wedding that personal touch, that’s why we decided to finish off the Same Day Edit with that. The choice of song was a last minute thing, actually did a small poll on Facebook on the morning of the day to decide what to use. And by popular demand, it had to be Filipino-Puerto Rican Bruno Mar’s latest hit. Worked well for our Hispanic-Filipino event. The words also fitted well with our beautiful bride.
To Mabel and Frank, thanks to you both and your family and friends for making us feel very much at home and most specially to the maid-of honor, Roxanne. You rock!

09.18.10 Norma + Christian

Ceremony and Location: The Center Club. Costa Mesa, California
Photographer: Stephen Cheng

Our couple started getting ready at 3:30pm, ceremony at 05:15pm, first dance at 07:30pm. I’ve seen some pretty tight wedding time line but this one tops ‘em all! Oh, and the SDE presentation at 09:30pm. First time we ran 2 MacBook Pros for an SDE! Got it done @ 09:35pm.

We don’t normally do this and always ask our couples to give us enough time to do a Same Day Edit for them. But, this couple is very, very special to us. We had a great opportunity of witnessing Norma and Christian’s beautiful love story. We’ve only known them for more than 20 years okay. Now, they even gave us the privilege of capturing their union. Thank you very much for that Boguy and Christian..Your time line almost gave me a heart attack, but we loved every single minute of your DAY!! Zara loved being a bridesmaid again too!

Kudos to our awesome team of the Benitez brothers, Ralph and Beebo.
