Supplier Review Part 9: Photographer

SUPPLIER REVIEW PART 9 - cont. Rating below means value for money - quality and service.


11. Photographer - BENJIE TIONGCO PHOTOGRAPHY (5 STARS)


For us, it was super sulit to have booked him. Promise! We could still remember the first time we met for a meeting. Even without the guarantee of booking him, we noticed that he tries to get to know the couple more than trying to get the booking. His character stood out. This is probably why we booked him at that moment. In some ways he can make the couple feel special and unique. Which of course can result to a more comfortable environment especially for couples who are not used to limelight. 

Now let's talk about actual output of the photos. The composition of our photos were really awesome. They say, you can edit the colors photo but not the composition. 

You can check our E-session and Wedding photos.

Then comes after the wedding - the Albums! We got approximately around 2K++ photos. It can be overwhelming at first, but with a little organizing of folders, you can choose your photos easily. We also like the process of how you can be involved with creating album before it is actually printed. It saves time and unnecessary effort and cost for both parties. Was really happy with the after service.

This blog probably took a while because I was waiting for the actual album to arrive. It came a little later since Dec was full of holidays for most of the companies. Check out photo below for the actual album we got. The wedding portrait and wedding album. Album was quite heavy and the hubby was the one to pick the cover, LV inspired :) Though I know they have a new type of album -100pages, thinner and maybe lighter than we got. Ah, maybe if I wasn't so excited to pick our pictures for the album and approve the layout maybe I would have gotten the newer version. Sigh... Oh well.

Glad to have cross paths with them. Nice folks and easy to work with. :)

Supplier Review Part 8 - Videographer

SUPPLIER REVIEW PART 8 - cont. Rating below means value for money - quality and service.


10. Videographer - RED SHEEP CINEMA (4.5 STARS)

We are very much happy with our SDE. Candid and light just like we are. Pardon some clips as we are very shy in front of the camera and audience. The 0.5 would be for the improvement on our 15min video. It might be the song or the clips are not enough but still we don't find it as much entertaining as the SDE. 


One more thing, maybe it's worth to check if the supplier can still cover even after the reception if you have some pictorials. For us, it was lunch reception and we actually did not have much time to cover some moments with the entourage in between ceremony and reception and we are hoping to do it after. Apparently, for Red Sheep it was not covered. 

Anyways, here below is our SDE link and you can check out his other works from here and abroad. Have fun watching! :)

DIY: Aisle Carpet, Thank You and Well Wishes Notes

While waiting for the final pieces from my photographer (Benjie Tiongco, the albums) and videographer (Red Sheep, the 15min video) before I make my review, let me share with you some personalized stuff I have manage to do prior to the big day.

The Personalized Aisle Carpet. 
Actually, I totally forgot about this one. It was only my coordinator who reminded me that I needed one. I panicked. Though she mentioned that Tjioe was willing to lend us a red one. But I don't think it would fit well to our over-all design. Hence the idea of a white personalized carpet. Luckily, I had it made via our printing business. Our coordinator helped us with the installation. Problem solved. :)



The Personalized Well Wishes and Thank You Notes  
Thank you to my dear friend who designed this one! At least through this we got to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts! As for the well wishes, the turn out was pretty low but our hearts were touched (sometimes LOL) when we read through those sincere messages.
