Tales about the Juday & Ryan wedding…

(photo by Patrick Uy) So today turns out to be THE day of local celebrities Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillio. Theirs was one of the most anticipated weddings, but details were kept under wraps until the very last hour.  Father Tito Caluag officiated the low-key ceremony held in San Juan Nepomuceno Parish Church in […]

My High School Reunion: wedding suppliers to the rescue!

  (me holding what we use to call “isang set” back in HS: gulaman’t sago + bananacue) Yeah, I know there was not a single blog entry last week.  That’s because this blogger was in the thick of things preparing for his MCUHS89 batch reunion.  It’s been twenty years since I graduated from high school. […]

vacation galore, links & more!

After W@W’s 10th anniversary celebration, Benz & I claimed that much-deserved break and maximize the time we spend with our daughter Kite while its summer vacation. Although we are not on full vacation-mode since we still go online and check mails when there’s wi-fi access wherever we are. 🙂 (more Bora images @ Metrophoto) After […]

Cecilio Abad is the 2008 Supplier of the Year!

(photo by Oly Ruiz of MetroPhoto) Another gown designer took home the “W@Wie”! From up the stage, we could see Cecilio Abad as his name was announced. We saw how all the girls he dressed-up went around him to kiss, hug and wipe his tears away (parang Miss U!). We also saw how all the […]

When wedding pictures are set in motion!

When a photographer pieces together images taken by a camera set in continuous shutter mode, the effect is much like a video in staccato: choppy & non-fluid.  It’ much like an 8MM film output (think Charlie Chaplain walking with his cane). Or like a stop motion animation (think Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” music video) feel to […]

Jay Contreras & Sarah Abad’s Rockstar Wedding!

(photo by Edwin Tuyay) Last February 12, Jay Contreras (frontman of the band Kamikaze) married Sarah Abad (sister of actress Kaye Abad) in a ceremony held at Paco Park.  Their color motif?  BLACK.  The entourage and wedding guests were all wearing dresses and suits in that color yet the general tone didn’t look morbid at […]

Yes, it’s The W@Wie Awards season yet again!

W@W VideoFest aftermath: The W@Wies

(photo by Oly Ruiz | see more here) At the PowerPlant Cinema 4 lobby, these posters were on display.  From the feedbacks we got, some attendees thought nothing of those. They simply presumed that those were posters of actual movies.  Only guests who did a second take realized that the posters were of the five […]
