Shooting Our Own Mini-Movie

Sorry for not updating this blog as regularly as I would like to. It's now six months before our wedding, and we are now getting busier than ever!

The first on our list was our prenup video shoot with Aisle 1401. We scheduled our shoot last October 23, which was also our third anniversary as a couple. We are already familiar with prenup photo shoots, but shooting for our video was a whole different experience and I really didn't know what to expect. I am not that comfortable seeing myself on the screen, so I was worried that I would be awkward in front of the camera.

But luckily the shoot was a success! Despite being tired from all the acting and wardrobe changes, we really had fun, mostly because of our very supportive suppliers. :)

We first met Anna and John during the pre-prod meeting, but we haven't met the other duo of Aisle 1401, Miko and Drei, until our prenup shoot itself. I thought it would be awkward at first to be acting in front of strangers, but luckily, Miko and Drei made us feel at ease immediately. Bonding agad sila ni Mox sa NBA and Clash of Clans! Haha!

They want our shoot to be true to our story as much as possible, but I also like how they were able to play around and improvise to make the video better. Of course, they still asked for our permission to make these changes, which showed that they value their client's opinion. They also directed us how we should act during each scenes, and in case we made a mistake, they would not hesitate to re-shoot again until we would finally get the scene right. Talk about dedication to their craft!

I only gave them a 4 because I haven't seen our finished video yet, but knowing them, I'm sure it would be great! I can't wait! :)

Tippy may not be my HMUA for my wedding, but I am happy that I was at least able to his magic hands! I love how he exactly knew what kind of color would look best on my face. He suggested to use fuchsia for my lips, which I thought would look baduy at first, but it actually made me look fresh and modern. Ang ganda ko lang. Haha!


And his makeup lasted for a long time! Imagine, our shoot lasted for the whole day, but I only had my makeup retouched at least three times only. Even Tippy said that he is not used to being at the prenup shoot itself because his makeup stays on practically forever! Parang tuloy nanghinayang ako sa P4,000 na binayad ko. Sana pala yung P2,500 na lang. Haha!

And it's definitely true what his brides say, you will definitely find a friend in him. I haven't met him personally before our shoot, but as soon as I entered his house for our makeup session, it's as if we have been friends for a long time! There was no awkward moment between us. Chikahan to the max talaga! And since he's friends with Anna and the rest of the Aisle 1401 guys, everyone was happy during that day.

VENUE: East Ortigas Mansions

This is where Mox lives, so it was a breeze getting a permit to shoot our prenup there. There were also a lot of places where we could shoot our scenes. And best thing of all, the venue is free! :)

But before I end this blog post, here's another supplier that I want to thank for that day.

ANNIVERSARY CAKE: Toy Cakes and Pastries by Chef Kiko
Peso Power: P1,500 for eight-inch fondant cake
Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Since this was our last anniversary as boyfriend/girlfriend, I decided to order a cake from Chef Kiko to celebrate. Transaction with him was a breeze! I just sent my peg and some instructions, and he assured me that he would have it ready for pickup first thing in the morning! And when I saw the cake that he made for us, I felt giddy inside! It was exactly what I wanted. He was able to capture the details of the cake perfectly.


Ang cute diba?! Our cake was made of dark chocolate and you would definitely get a mouthful of chocolate at every bite. The -0.5 was because I thought the cake was too sweet though. Nevertheless, I love it! Thanks Chef! :)
