Filipino Weddings Hit Different—How Do You Want It Remembered?
Let’s face it—Filipino weddings are a whole vibe.
There’s the chaotic calm before the ceremony. Your titas fixing your veil. Your best man hiding his tears. And your lolo dancing like it’s 1978 again.
The question is:
Do you want wedding photos and videos that look perfect, or ones that feel real?
Traditional Wedding Coverage—Safe, Classic, But a Little Scripted
What to expect from traditional teams:
- Posed couple shots
- Smiling group portraits
- Directed wedding video scenes
It’s timeless. But for some couples, it feels a bit… staged.
You might end up spending more time facing the camera than soaking in the moment.
Candid Teams—Laidback, Real, and Full of Emotion
If you’re all about realness, candid teams might be your match.
Here’s what candid photo + video looks like:
- You laugh, cry, dance… and forget there’s a camera
- Moments unfold naturally, nothing forced
- Every detail and emotion, caught in its rawest form
Your photos won’t just show how it looked—
they’ll show how it felt.
“Eh Di Mag Candid Team Na Lang Tayo?” 😅
We’ve heard this a lot—couples seeing real wedding moments say this out loud.
And sometimes… they mean it.
It’s not about trends. It’s about choosing how you want to remember the day that changed your life.
Quick Vibe Check—Which One’s More You?
| If You Want… | Go For… |
