Photo and Video: Little Dreams
Burgundy Place, Katipunan Ave.
Contact: Mel Cortez/ Jocelyn - 434.9047/ 0919.268.6891
Rating: Highly Recommended

Good points:
· Our photographers were Edu Cortez and Alex They came in early and when they arrived, they have eaten already. But, of course, we offered them snacks naman. They really worked their ass off, dere-deretso trabaho, very professional.
· Very easy to work with. Professional, punctual but very warm and friendly photogs. Non-disruptive style of taking pictures (photojournalistic).
· Ok yung terms of payment, very budget and cash flow-friendly.
· The account officers (Joan and Jocelyn) for Decisive Moments/ Little Dreams are also very accommodating and warm. They remember your special requests and makes sure they write it down in the contract.

Things to look out for:
· Iba pa rin if Mel Cortez was to shoot your wedding. Wala masyadong WOW shots but we got what we paid for =)
· They tend to forget to follow up on your deliverables. Although the couple should be the one to have initiative in submitting their selection/feedback, we didn’t see any effort on them to check on how we were doing with the things we need to submit to them (photo selection/comments on video). This is probably because of the volume of their work.

Good points:
· With Anna, hindi ka maiilang. Masasabi mo yung gusto mo which is very important sa HMU.
· She loves her craft and it shows in her work.
· Sanay sya magmake up for pictorials so ok yung itsura sa camera.
· She was able to make us beautiful all by herself.

Things to look out for:
· Wala naman. Happy talaga kami kay Anna. I even asked her to do my make up again for a friend’s wedding Ü

Gowns: Mila de Leon
Contact: 641.0251
Rating: Highly Recommended

Good points:
· Reasonably priced.
· Hindi kami nagworry na hindi magagawa yung gowns on time.

Things to look out for:
· The gown of one of my nieces (not part of the entourage) medyo hindi maganda yung workmanship. Bawat gown iba kasi yung gumagawa, out of the 14gowns made, 1 lang yung medyo hindi outright good.
