Our Pre Wedding Squad
This is the second time we meet some of the wedding suppliers.
Before the pre wedding shoot.. I manage to organize the location of the shoot..
I picked Orchids Garden as the setting because it has everything that we needed.. from a cozy room to a relaxing pool to a good restaurant.. Luckily they allowed us to use their facility for the whole day and gave us access to the orchidarium :)
Our call time is 7am at Tavern Hotel.. but Je was late!
Anyway, we used the place to shoot for the staycation scenes such us the bedroom and playing video game and working scenes
The place is really nice, its clean and spacious, it got a complete accessory inside such us the towels and bottled water and bath stuff.. The manager of Tavern is really sweet and friendly :)
When we arrived we started with the makeup and hair styling.. Lorenz Concepcion did our make up. He is friendly and his hands smells really good. While Carlos Bryan aka Bubbles did the hair styling.. he is more friendly, makes chika everytime :) One time we met him at the mall and he started combing my hair lol.
Je loves these two, he loves their work more than i love it.. because they made him look fresh and smashingly handsome lol but their talent is really wonderful, they are such a pro - not the ordinary parlorista :)
Our stylist decided to do 4 different looks as we got 4 outfits to wear in the whole filming.. I was just a little surprise with my first look since the scene is waking up in the bed and i got this heavy make up on already.. well i must say its a woke up like this peg lol
And i think they did more than 4 makeups since we always sweat and ruins our makeup but thankfully they aren't pissed with us and just keep make us look good
After the make up and hair prep we starter filming with Direk Gilbert Obispo.. This is the first time we meet with him since he was at Singapore back then and we met his wife instead..
I have this wonderful scene on my head and i got this good idea of how would they look like but the problem is there's no other actors but us.. who are not good in acting lol
We started shooting the bed scene he made us feel like there's no camera in front of our face and just us being in love and realizing the scenes which is really good.. He is a pro and he respects my ideas, he studied the whole story board i had discussed with his wife and followed it.. he is a good director, a good guy, he's kind to us and doesn't get pissed no matter how many times we do the scenes. We adore him and we felt that the money invested onto his team is worth it.
We did not work much with the guy he is with.. I dont even know his name.. i think he's there to assist the director.. and ms. sei let me borrowed her flipflops :)
Then my friend Ansherina and Keith arrived..late!
I asked She and Kit to come and help us cover the behind the scenes of the whole filming and they did :)
Anshe is my friend, we've been friends for like 10 years since highschool.. she went here to do the video cover of the behind the scenes.. I even borrowed her white dress and shoes (cant walked straight on it)
Aside from She being my personal assistant we have an assistant that assist us with everything - her name is Krizia - she holds our things and ready our next outfit, she always have tissue with her to offer us when we sweat and when my nose is runny.
Then we got Keith, he is She's boyfriend :) He is a part of Je's grooms men and a friend of ours. he did the photo cover of the behind the scenes and did an amazing job.. I look thinner on his shots lol I borrowed their camera and he used it to do the photo cover
They followed us anywhere we go and that must be tiring
We decided to have a short break and have lunch.. we asked the squad to come and eat with us at Imang Nene... I was planning to take a photo of the whole squad while we were there but its 2pm and everybody's hungry so we did not bother and attacked the food immediatly
Then we proceed in filming.. we had gained access to shoot inside the orchidarium thanks to our dearest ninang - madam mau - We visited her at the Forum.. this place smells good.. I think this area is the main lobby of Orchidarium..
We wrapped the filming inside the Orchidarium.. its a really nice place and its really big and spacious and the garden feels surrounding is really good. Only its hot while we were shooting we did not turned the ac on and we melt right way lol..
But it is a great place to do events, we could have booked it for the reception but its far away from our wedding location.. maybe next time :)
Then we proceed in the photoshoot with Mr. Jerome Delos Santos... we let him handle everything and we do what he says, we put all our trust in him and just let go.. we did not bother looking at the discussed concept at all, we were really tired and worn out to even bother.
Mr. Jerome did the shoot fast and he knows exactly where to go and what pose to do so everything is fast phased.. we finally saw the output of his work and we are amaze and happy with the shoot, we love all the photos and they look really good - yet out of the 600+ photos I only picked 30 lol - all looks good but i dont :(
He is with his assistant - a funny guy
And our planner, Ms. Robyn and Mr. BJ were also there for support :)
And that's a wrapped! whoo! finally! I can cross this out of my list!
