It takes great confidence and convincing powers to be able to do this video - confidence for me and convincing powers for my partner to participate in my kaartehan. To be honest, my husband wouldn't want to have any elaborate preparation for the wedding such as this 'Save The Date' video and I totally understood.
I guess for practical reasons, since we are already a family of four and we've been living together for 12 years already, we may not need any more of this stuff. What's important is to have an intimate celebration for the blessing of our union with family and closest friends. That was the plan until two weeks before the wedding. I thought I wanted to have some photos to be displayed at our reception venue so I decided on a whim to have a prenup photoshoot. I was able to squeeze in too a prenup video within my budget after searching for an affordable and quality package for both.
Everything was on rush, we both couldn't file a leave to do the pictorial, the date was moved to a week prior to the wedding day. We did the shoot on a Friday morning right after our night work shifts, my goodness. Although I hired an amazing makeup artist, the 'puyat' look in our faces is still evident in some or probably the most parts of the photo and videos. But knowing how modest we both are, we managed to pull it off caring less on how the output will be.
In the end, I have no regrets and more than happy to see the video. There were lots of awkwardness and I guess it makes it raw and beautiful. Each scene would accumulate tons of bloopers too but I'm so proud that up to the last take, my husband cooperates even though he can't wait for the shoot to be over :).
Here's our very own 'Save The Date' video with Counting Crows' "Accidentally in Love" song :)
