cheesygarcia is getting married!

everyone was raving about the slideshow and onsite avp. no doubt about it john ong takes good pictures. i haven’t been able to put the onsite avp on youtube because i’m having trouble decrypting it. anyway once i figure it out i will include it here as well.

my only wishes, which i didn’t foresee and he doesn’t offer anyway:

- i wish they would upload the pictures and avp online like some of the other photographers and videographers out there
- we forgot to ask them, i wish they had assigned a photographer to take pictures during cocktails. there were three photographers from john ong’s team, and all three of them were present during the post-ceremony pictorial. which meant that there wasn’t really someone taking pictures during cocktails.
- i wish i was able to take more pictures at the hotel lobby. but i suppose it’s no one’s fault cos it was really hard with no one taking care of matt full-time.
- i wish the raw dvds of the videos had better audio, in case we decide to get them edited later on. the raw dvds we got have very low audio, i suppose they are really just for avps.

i think having so many photographers sort of backfired on us, we have around 8k jpg files (that’s including our backup photographer, rene gaviola). i suppose if i could do it all over again, i would ask them to take pictures of the cocktails as well.

we had a bit of trouble post-wedding cos one of the dvds they gave us did not have the files that we needed. it took about 2 weeks for us to get the correct set of files. anyway, john ong was really nice to deal with. he was very patient during our prenup when i had to take a couple of breastfeeding breaks cos matt was already getting mad.

i give john mateos ong and his team a 4 out of 5.
