MANILA, Philippines - Last year, celebrity couple Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo renewed their wedding vows in front of family and friends in a solemn beach celebration at a private beach resort in Batangas on April 30. A year later, renowned videographer Jason Magbanua decided to release a same-day-edit video of the momentous event.
Magbanua, who also filmed the couple’s sunrise wedding in San Juan, Batangas in 2009, said there was no way he’s not going to do the anniversary video. But unlike his usual videos, Magbanua decided to “draw parallels” between the film footages of the actual wedding and the renewal of vows ceremony.
“I wanted to key in on the constants in their lives, the people surrounding them, the ones who matter the most, the ones who have been there and are still there,” Magbanua wrote in his blog.
Interestingly Magbanua filmed both events in Super 8.
“It’s one thing to see Super 8 footage of a wedding shot one month ago, and it’s a totally mind-blowing experience to re-watch the movie clips seven years after. It’s just utterly beautiful, nostalgic, haunting in a positive manner. Indescribable to a degree, transcending pixels,” the renowned videographer revealed.
Santos and Agoncillo, who tied the knot in 2009, decided to renew their wedding vows after their son Lucio asked for it. Apparently, the family was watching their wedding video when Lucio noticed that he wasn’t present in the ceremony unlike his older sister, Yohan.
“Lucho’s reaction was priceless for me. He wanted to be part of a happy memory that happened prior to his existence. The power of film/video had that effect on the child, much like we all wanted to enter Sesame Street, the Electric Company or Blue’s Clues,” Magbanua remarked.
