A lot have been asking what is an SDE? or Video Highlights? well here we will be discussing most of the terms related to Photography and Videography Services most of the terms or shortcuts will be explained here. 

1. SDE (Same Day Edit) - The Video taken from the Couple from preparation to the church up to the reception will be edited and will be shown on the very same day of the wedding in reception program
2. SDE Photo (Same Day Edit Photo)- Same as the above, but this will be shots (stills) coming from the photographer
3. Video Highlights, MTV or Music Video Highlights- The Video taken form the Couple or celebrant will be edited at a later date. Generally this is made available after the event 2-3 weeks or less depending on the agreement you made with the photo and video team or the studio owner. 
4. AVP (Audio Visual Presentation) A collection of clips photo and/or video from childhood to adulthood, memories from the past, escapades and maybe combined with a couple of video greetings from friends collected by the family members. These materials are edited combined and shown at the reception to the celebrant.  
5. Cinematic - Terms used for that cinematic video/movie look, these is combined with the use of equipment, skills, creativity, camera angles, lenses, depth of field and that dramatic music to make that cinematic look.
6. STD (Save the Date) - These are prenup or predebut videos done before the event generally serves as an invitation to the guest. 
   • Teaser (save-the-date)  A one minute trailer or serves as a teaser or invitation to the guest 
   • Save-the-date Full - The full product of the Prenup or Predebut shoot is shown at the reception. usually shown before the Celebrant / Couple's entrance at the reception or in Dinner time. 
7. Raw Files - No Edit! purely shots coming directly from the camera. If one would bring this to a higher level of technicality "raw files" a real large format files it has a different file extension, uncompressed and cannot be access by a computer without the necessary software, these files range from 11mb and above, use for billboard advertising. Nowadays on events, only the maximum compressed file format is selected, its enough to bring the quality, sharpness and excellence to the end users. 
8. Pre Debut or Pre Nup - Photo and Video shoot before the day of the celebration 
9. Post nup - Photo and Video Shoot after the Ceremony, Photographer and Videographers would take shots of the couple  after the ceremony

11. Beauty Shot / Pogi Shots - Solo shots of the Bride wearing gown, solo shots of Groom wearing his formal attire. ​

Finally the Day arrived! A grand wedding at the Manila Cathedral with Mark & Paula!
It was tedious at first to meet the requirements of the Church the kind Couple gave their assistance for us in completing the requirements of the Church. And on the day (of the wedding) they were not as strict as we expect it was, the staff were accommodating help us through the whole part of the ceremony! 

We made the Story based on what happen that day, no personal vows and personal gift just their moment together!
We shot the couple and the secondary sponsors on the outdoors of the church (after the wedding) it was such a nice scene and all of them gave their full participation to contribute to the Couple's Photo and Video ..
At the reception after showing the videos (prenup and the same-day-edit video), We were glad to hear that sweet ovation from the audience and see the emotions from the couple.. :)

Meindhardt Philippines Inc. Engineering company held their Christmas / Annual Party at the Okada Hotel Manila. I also learned that the Firm provided various engineering services with Okada. Meindhardt has made a wonderful program for their employees awards and recognition etc. It was a pleasure that we were selected to be part of their photo and video team and a privilege to shoot at this wonderful Okada Hotel! 

This is our 3rd time to cover our Client's Christmas Party and their event is getting better each year! Themed based on the trending K-POP their dance moves, performance and costumes where worth the spend. Witnessing the fun the challenge the heart warming speech of their directors makes them truly a family.

Today is the big day! Roy (the Groom) has his throwbacks and  still remembers everything Maan was wearing on the first day  they met, it was such a touching story for both of them. They love reading books together and here is a story that came to life!
​ A happy wedding to you both and a long and lasting marriage!  :)

A Dream Wedding Come True! For Tony and Joanne's Wedding!
The Groom was making most of the decisions with regards to the photo and video team, the peg shot, the song they choose, the timing and oh! The gift giving which was not part of the plan. Sorry Tony! the Bride provided one and your were in for a surprise weren't you ;) Hope you can make it up to her... :)
It was quite a rush for the team (again) since we had limited time. Vikings on the other hand was booked for two hours so we had to make the post-nups at the church (for safety). Ah! but we manage to make a few shots at the baywalk as you can see those palm trees, Yup! Quite a lovely couple! As soon as we played the same-day-edit video it was nice to see the couple, glad and giving you that nod of assurance that they were very happy with the output. Congratulations to you both, more blessing and A long and lasting love....
