Church of the Immaculate Conception, Poblacion, Jasaan, Misamis Oriental
Basamanggas Resort, Kimaya, Jasaan, Misamis Oriental
The couple just got home from Dubai to have their wedding ceremony at old church of Jasaan. This Centennial Church is declared as one of National Cultural Treasures, built in the late 19th century by the Jesuits. Designed with unique architecture in mind, it is made of wooden structure, huge wooden posts combined with brick paving, neo-Gothic retablo, ceiling woodwork, and a lot more interesting artifacts. Truly a Filipino heritage.
The love of Mark and Beth is likewise filled with interesting heritage too. Beth is a cheerful person. She even brightened up the day more than anyone else did. Mark, on the other hand, wore the best smile. His glowing face reflected the abundance of treasures in his heart; he declared boldly that Beth is his greatest treasure. Their story is characterized by long period of friendship and love, embraced by families, relatives and friends who cared so much for them.
My gratitude to Joy, bride’s sister, who made things possible and believing us to preserve the love heritage of Mark and Beth.
After a very long time, I finally had the courage to open some of the pictures of our son, who died of Burkitt’s Leukemia. I also had the inspiration to create a video of him. It’s more than a year of refraining to reminisce those excruciating moments. But this time I want to commemorate his life. I want to let the people know that life, indeed, is beautiful with him.
Relatives, classmates and friends may ask, “How are you right now?” but couldn’t afford to say it in words. We can see it in their eyes how much they long to hear an answer. We hope that this video will enlighten them that having such adversity made us realize how much the Lord loves us despite of what happened.
It was painful… very painful. In fact, it always makes me cry inside everytime I share his life, even now. It is so hard, but what ponders me most is how much God embraces us with His love. What can I ask for?… that’s a rhetorical question.
We dedicate this video to all who, in one way or another, supported, comforted, prayed, and loved us in those trying times. Amazingly, with God’s grace and with your presence, we were able to face the challenges & trials in our lives. Nothing compares to the experience of God’s love who embraces us during those times.
Believe me, his life is worth to tell. We hope and pray that we will continue to share our lives through him and touch other lives for as long as we live. God bless to all.
These two lovebirds are both in medical fields - a nurse and a doctor. They are very busy in their own respective workplaces. Glenard works in UK while Bernadette is a medical resident in PGH. We met the couple last year - the time they booked us as their videographer. The next meeting was on their wedding day. So short a time to know about this couple… and so challenging for us to deliver a video that reflects their love story.
Nevertheless, the couple did not fail us to share their individuality and their love for each other. The groom was so down-to-earth while the bride was the “Miss Congeniality” of-the-day. We would like to extend our gratitude to Christopher Colinares, Mark and the whole photography team for making the day so delightful to work on. The whole wedding event was so perfect with the presence of Prof Org - under the leadership of Aileen Abao-Parojinog.
Their love story… I had seen the oneness in them. With the congeniality of tastes they had shown in their marriage, I believe that the union of Glenard and Bernadette is thrice blessed

Monastery of the Transfiguration, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon
Roadhouse Grill, Bagontaas, Valencia City, Bukidnon
This is one of the places I love to visit and stay for a while. The Monastery of the Transfiguration is gifted with solemnity and serenity in its geographic location… bounded with cold climate, surrounded by lush forest, and situated in high altitude and unique volcanic land of Bukidnon. The most heart-rending activity I had learned - their monastic life. The most beautiful thing I had seen - their chapel. The chapel was built with exceptional motif in mind. It was designed by late National Artist Leandro Locsin.
So delightful to see Victor and Iris in the chapel exchanged their lifetime vows. Both were very sincere and so in love with each other. No wonder why the couple chose the place for their ceremony… to have a Monastic wedding, that is, seeking God and putting Him first in their marriage
August 8, 2008 - The city was filled with love this day as weddings here and there took place. Surely, it was the WEDDING DAY of the year. Here’s our version of an 8.8.8 wedding.
Danny, as you can see, is tough, lean, very masculine, and Vin Diesel looked alike. Vicky, on the other hand, is so sweet, lovable, pretty, and nice. Two different personalities that compliment each other. The bride and groom can surely attest to such saying “opposite attracts.” Despite their differences, they click as a couple and mind you, they’re one of the craziest couple I’ve known so far.
Even the officiating priest on their wedding is also very witty person. He managed to crack jokes during the ceremony with the couple that made the celebration light and easy. One of the highlights of their wedding was when the groom’s daughter gave speech during the reception. How pleasant it is for a child to see her father happy falling in love again. To Danny and Vicky, Congratulations!

St. Ignatius de Loyola Chapel, Camp Evangelista, Patag, Cagayan de Oro City
Apple Tree Hotel, Opol, Misamis Oriental
This is the love story of Benjamin and Ezra… unusual yet adorable to discover their stickiness with each other. Both couple are very wacky and fun to be with. I also admired their life’s calling… having both of them will make the wholeness of a new family.
By the way, the bride is Oamar’s sister, and Oamar and Shobe is our long time client. Ezra took the time to look for us since we transferred our location few years ago… we are glad to have the couple as a repeat client.
