REVIEW: Limelight Digital Photography and Videography

PROS:

• Jeannette and Russel are super friendly and professional. They are easy to talked to and flexible with my demand/s or request/s.
• The team are so nice I feel so relaxed posing for them. 
• The Guestbook: I LOVE IT! It is printed beautifully... so beautiful, I did not allow my guest to write on it hahahaha.....
• Rates: reasonable
• Quality of the pictures: Average to Pro. Dont take me wrong the photos are very good but not that super-wow-factor-pano-nila-nagawa-yun-shot thing. hehehehe
• Same day Video : most of our guest love it! we love it... the transition of the video to our music are just right. 

CONS:

•  In the prenup, I did not get the effect/s or idea that I wanted. although my fault that I did not direct them what to do or not....I just give them my idea and I want to see how they will execute it. It turns out that it is a so so prenup photo-ops. 
• Most of them are wearing jeans and rubber shoes. I am expecting that at least they should wear slacks or uniform colored shirts.
• Upon delivering the final product:
• Main album and 2 parent album : quality it is very good. 
• Framed picture : not good. The picture is over exposed and washed out. 
• DVD / usb video : average. The editing of the final video is not that we imagine. (because the same day video they did was superb!)
• Service : FAIL. it took us months of transaction/s just to have a working copy of our video. They've send us 3x of dvds but none of them work to any video player and software. Either one part do not have sounds, not playing or the audio is distorted. Making follow ups on them is a pain, I need to talk to jeannette directly just to make our transaction work. Finally to resolve our video copy problem, they send me a USB free of charge.

OVERALL VERDICT: 

The team are OK during the event. They are friendly, easy to talk to... they are alright. Professionally, not that much they are casual. 

Would I recommend them: If your event or you live in Batangas... yes. So that it is a lot easier for you to go to their office if there are problem/s and directly talk to them. Hence, if you are in Metro Manila (like me)... NO waiting for their response may it be in email or text is a pain. 

Prenup

We got our prenup photo!!! yeey.... Now I feel I need to have another prenup hahahaha. I can see now na hindi ako pwede mg model because I cannot pose! We have concepts but hindi namen nagawa kasi nahihiya pa kame mg popose.... I also think that a stylist in a prenup session is a good call. But since we are in a tight budget, ok na ito! So here are some of our pictures. Raw pictures yan kaya hindi ko pa na eedit yan hehehehe.. will post yung maayos soon.... may makulit lang akong kaibigan na nghihintay nito eh hahahaha

Limelight photography team are very nice and helpful with our poses. lalo na yung makeup artist ko si Ericka.

What we like: 

Jeanette is very easy to talk with. I instantly feel at ease at her and her team. Their output what makes them unique. I LOVE THEIR WEDDING ALBUM BOX! Dont get me wrong here.... it is really different among the rest out there. As soon as I got pictures of their sample wedding album box I will post it. It seems they are new, most of their weddings are in Batangas. They are group of young and professional individuals who have fresh and unique idea and style yet open to to try new idea.

Because of the bridal fair, we got a 10% discount of their rate. Ian (my fiancee) saw some of their works and like it. What is nice about them, we reserve them for us to avail the discount even though we do not have date yet, even if the wedding will be next year the rate will be the same. wieeee. Jeanette and the rest of her team is very friendly and accommodating. They can help you also to look for other suppliers as well hehehe =) 

What I dont like, they dont have an official website. In their facebook and multiply page, the album box is not there. They use Nikon. hehehe not that I have an issue with that. hehehehe i still believe that the quality of the photo are in the hands of the photographer not their tool.
