Madre De Dios Chapel
Tagaytay Midlands
Ricardo and Elena from Bong Sare on Vimeo.
We went straight to Tagaytay the day after the very successful W@W Video Fest (more about this on Thursday) to cover Ric and Elena’s wedding. And it was a riot from the get go!
Elena was just beaming the whole day, and with Ernest doing the coordination and Mimi+Karl shooting the stills, it never really made me wonder why. Ric, on the other hand, was shakingly nervous but still managed to crack some of his trademark witty one-liners. It was one helluva fun shoot all day long.
And I discovered that, like me, Elena is crazy about “Dirty, Sexy, Money” - a TV series from ABC that started in 2007 and ended abruptly November of last year - where she, just like me (again), first heard the song they picked for their SDE - “Somebody Loved” by The Weepies.
Half my body actually froze while editing this vid (no thanks to Tagaytay Midlands’ cold weather/gusty wind combo) and it took half an hour for me to completely thaw, but Ric pulling me aside and telling me how much he loved the vid made everything worthit.
To Ric and Elena, Best Wishes! 
Bong, it is indeed a wonderful onsite. Thank you for keeping me sane the entire wedding and for being an additional “stress.” Hehehe.
Thanks E! Now go and enjoy your vacation, you deserve it!
