WHY WE CHOSE?
Naghahanap kami ng then-fiancée ko ng P/V. I remember watching lots of SDE’s and Bliss Photography and Films resonated with us. Two reasons why Bliss stood out. First is because their approach captures the emotions of the event. You’ll see it in their editing, color grading and music scoring. While watching their SDE’s naluluha ako even though I didn’t know the couple 😂 second reason is that they use three music per SDE, compared to the usual two. First music is medyo chill. Then next is the moody one na nakakaiyak. Then yung last part is the climax. Nakastructure yung editing nila around those three music. Watch nyo SDE’s nila and try to notice the music. This results to having a progression of emotions while watching. From chill & fun to crying to intense bliss (pun intended).
PRENUP SHOOT
We had our shoot sa Scout Castor House. They arrived on time, along with their equipment. I noticed two things.
First, they like doing a lot of multiangle videos. Parang sa movies na feeling mo madaming cameras. Again, try to notice in any of their videos. This keeps the viewer’s interest as compared to long shots with minimal things happening. Plus cinematic yung dating. So how do they do it? Kunwari vivideohan nila ako na naglalakad papunta kay wifey with flowers. Tapos papaulitin nila yung action na yun tapos vivideohan ka nila at a different angle. Ganun lang. Extra little thing that gives a cinematic feel.
Second, they know what they’re doing. Ako try-hard iPhone videographer and photographer hirap ako gumawa ng composition 😂 sila… within seconds, they already know yung composition ng photos, they know how to color grade, madami silang alam na poses, lots of ideas. In short, they really are professionals. They are easy to work with as well. I remember when we transferred from one area to another, kailangan mag change look si then-fiancée. So ako nagchchill kasama videographer/editor, talking about a lot of stuff like video editing software, photography and videography hardware, music sourcing, etc. Then we talked about yung style ng videomaking nila. It’s about being natural. The mood of the SDE largely depends on the mood of the wedding itself. Then they gave me advice on our wedding day. Just let the emotions flow. An advice I took religiously on our wedding day.
So how did the prenup shoot go? The pacing was efficient but not overwhelming. The crew was professional yet fun to work with. The prenup video… let’s just say napangiti kami upon watching it. See for yourself!
GRADUATION DAY
So the day finally came! They arrived by knocking a room ko. While I was still getting ready with stuff, nag flatlay na lang muna sila ng mga stuff ko (watch, cufflinks, suit, vow booklet, etc).
Then, the shoots started. As expected, poses, alam na nila. I already knew I was in good hands so when it came to P/V, wala na ako niwoworry at all. Then my mom came. Nakabihis na siya and all. The videographer assigned to us asked us if may message ba si nanay sa akin. The emotions just poured! Di kami emotional ng family ko but everything just poured! I jokingly teased them “kayo kasi e!” kasi namumula mata ko afterwards 😂
With my wife, very camera shy siya and mahiyain magpicture pag siya lang pero, they were able to make great shots of her. Sobrang light lang daw ng feeling and parang nag eenjoy lang kayo. Opposite naman kami. If on my side emotionally happy, kala wifey bubbly, happy and fun lang. Parang barkada vibes ☺️
Sa P/V aspect, walang issues at all. Everything was smooth. I also noticed another thing na hindi ko napansin during our prenup shoot… masipag sila. If may shot na need ulitin, uulitin nila. If may video na need ng multi angle shots, papaulitin nila yung action 2-3 times. Some even more. They do not stop until satisfactory na yung raw files that they need. This was evident after ng ceremony nung nagshoot kami sa labas ng church. Syempre alam na nila kung saan maganda mag vows, magshoot ng pictures and b-roll videos, lahat may ideas na sila so di na namin pinproblema ano gagawin. Pero madami. Nakakapagod. Fast paced. I am not complaining of course. I’m praising their hardwork and dedication, and nag pay off din naman yung pagod sa SDE.
THE SDE
Going back at first, during the planning phases of our wedding, my then-fiancée wanted the mood for the SDE to just be chill and happy. Ako naman gusto ko yung song na Enchanted, because I proposed to my then-girlfriend with that song. Sabi nila sa akin that it would depend kay videographer if mag match sa mood na makukuha nila. So we decided to give them creative freedom since the way they work is to match the mood of the SDE to the mood of the wedding.
With that in mind, buti na lang we gave them the creative freedom they need kasi yung overall mood ng wedding namin, full of iyakan, love and emotions. Dami kong luha na nilabas. From the emotional moment I had with my mother, to seeing my wife walk down the aisle, to hearing the speeches ng mga abay namin. You get the idea. Hindi chill yung wedding namin and medyo clash yung overall mood to our supposed vision 🤣 And nagulat din kami na even the guests were emotionally happy that day. It was full of love. Pinapanood ko pa din nang pinapanood. Natteary eyed pa din ako palagi. Sinasabihan ako ng wife ko ngayon “umiiyak ka na naman?” 😂😂😂 
CONCLUSION
We strongly recommend Bliss Photography and Films. Highly recommended. They are hardworking and dedicated to their craft. They are also knowledgable and we felt that we were in good hands.
I recommend giving them creative freedom like how we did it, rather than having a long list of pegs and forcing something to look a certain way. You can have inputs, sure. But make sure to give them the creative freedom they need. 😊

They are affordable and their service is beyond expectations! I found them on Google, they have a website with complete information and when you send a message to their fb page, they will respond ASAP. 
On the day of event, the team was earliest to arrive and did not waste time because they shoot even without us there. Beautiful shots and great editing skills resulted to beautiful memories captured in our lifetime. Thank you for giving us the best output for our wedding day and pre wedding event.  Our 2 SDEs say it all how good they are on their jobs ❤️

My husband and I would like to express our gratitude to Bliss’ team (especially to Sir Ryan) for giving us great experience and memorabilia to keep for life. It was our first time to experience a photoshoot on our engagement shoot and we really had fun with them. Same with our wedding shoot that everything was smooth and organized. They were always on time and were very professional. They provided beyond what is expected and they really are good with their craft. Cheers to more clients! Thank you very much Bliss!

Super okay ka-work the whole Bliss team. The photographers are very talented and magaling sila mag-guide lalo na sa poses since me and the groom feels awkward in front of the cam.
Ganda din ng photo album. Mukang mamahalin! Hahaha. I definitely reco them lalo na di sila sing mahal ng iba but the quality of work is 10/10

This I may say is one of the best decisions I’ve done through gut feeling. Search them through Internet, got my attention because they have complete details on their website, check their FB and IG, read reviews and then message them and instantly I received a response. That’s it, meet up with Sir Ryan and booked them. And yes we have an excellent SDE and our guests love it and even those who are not invited but watch our SDE, give their compliments. We also have enjoyable Prenup. Thank You Bliss Photography and Sir Ryan's team, we are forever grateful for having you in our big event. You nailed it, till our next life events. God Bless you more!

My wedding day was far from perfect that I almost hated it becuase of the bad weather, dramas with friends and choosing wrong suppliers but one. Bliss Photography and Videography captured special moments that reminded me of what was the most important. They not only got our best moments from the day, but really reflected our unique 10yrs Love Story in the finished product. Huge bonus for taking into account the perfect choice of music for the video, not to mention the quality of the video itself. We got the same day edit and everyone, including ourselves, were quite impressed. It baffles me how they shot our video and produced such an epic video in almost no time. It was the perfect tease of what was to come but let us remain on our wedding high throughout our honeymoon. Just having received our wedding pictures, my faith in his and his team’s abilities couldn’t have been more correct. They tied together every special moment seamlessly, and not in a dry chronological sequence (getting ready, ceremony, pictures, cocktail hour, speeches etc.). But he didn’t stop by adding just the classical moments, he added special moments or places that he knew would be dear to our hearts. For instance: capturing the happiness and laughters of our family and friends that we couldnt witness ourselves, everyone getting along during the cocktail hour since our guest flew from different parts of the world, reception hall decor as I did a lot of DIY decorations. I would highly recommend Bliss Photography and Videography as part of your special day.
Look no further - hiring Bliss Photography and Videography as part of our wedding was the best decision we made. Ryan Cruz is incredibly talented, creative and professional. My husband loved the fact that the videographer team did not get in his way while getting ready - they were able to get some great shots but still allowed our day to unfold naturally and authentically. Would absolutely recommend Ryan M Cruz & his team!!
Im sharing this post not only to help other brides to choose wisely your suppliers that could make your wedding so stressful but also give this team a high credit of what a fantastic vendor they are and I can't speak highly enough! To this day, my husband cry watching  our wedding video. He and his team do such a beautiful job and I can’t rant and rave enough about how amazing they are!!
