Video

We enjoy taking pictures, especially of ourselves. We also know how important photos and videos can be during special events. In the whirlwind of events that accompany special occasions like weddings, we believe we need pictures so we can always go back and relive moments that would be forever be lost if not captured at just the right time. Ever since the early stages of planning, we decided that, for photos and videos, we can’t go with anything but the best. We know we wouldn’t forgive ourselves if 10 or 20 years from now, we’d be staring at mediocre pictures of our wedding. So we made sure, and after extensive research (and lots of hours spent watching on-site videos) we decided on a trio of videographers, aptly named Threelogy.

Leah first inquired through email, and upon receiving their reply, I got hold of their contact number. I immediately called up their office and managed to talk to a staff. She gave me Jon’s number. I immediately called him up and was elated to learn that we can still book them for 12.21.08! (By this time, it’s become my ultimate fear for every supplier we decide to approach – that we’re too late.) I tried to talk them into pencil booking us for the said date but he stuck to their policy and said we have to drop by their office to reserve the date. I informed Leah about this and after confirming at their office on how much we need to pay for the reservation fee, I braced myself for the trip to their office the next day, which is in Quezon City. I went to QC as a student so I know how grueling the trip can be. Given a choice, I would not have chosen to go all the way there to reserve for a couple of videographers, but Leah seems very keen on hiring these guys so, and I’m on my day off so I had no excuse.

The next day, I relived the good ole days of yore, and took the MRT to Quezon Avenue, and from there, got on a jeepney to Philcoa. I went to the nearest tricycle terminal I could see and asked if they know how to get to the address I got from Threelogy’s website. It took me two more tries, I think, until to get to the right terminal. I paid for a special trip; otherwise I’d have to wait for other passengers who are going my way. When the tricycle dropped me off, I managed to get myself lost by walking around, only to find Threelogy’s office right where I started my foolish wandering.

Inside, one of their staff (a lady whose name I forgot, shame on me), let me watched a couple more videos – more on-site videos and a sample of a full-finished product, as well as some raw footage. I was impressed and called up Leah to tell her this was good enough for me. Before signing, I also got to talk to Bong, because Leah wanted me to ask about their HD-DVD options. Too bad we deemed it too expensive, but at least I got to confirm with Bong that he’ll personally be there on our wedding to prepare the on-site video that we signed up for. After discussing with Leah again and deciding on the package, I filled up the necessary forms and paid the reservation fee. Woohoo!

Looking at the Threelogy's onsite and sample wedding vids, I will definitely risk going to the long roads of QC. hehee.. No wonder, as early as December last year, Leah is addicted into finding the right song for our AVP.
