Aisle 1401

Rating: 5

Aisle 1401 was one of the last suppliers we booked. If not for W@W recommendations, we wouldn't know about this team. We almost booked a different supplier even though their work samples were just on the ok side. We were already over our budget and we decided on scaling back on videography.

We consider ourselves lucky for chancing upon Anna and the boys of Aisle 1401. We got their Essentials package which featured an SDE and full coverage... the most basic but important videos needed for the wedding.

Fortunately for us, Anna extended their promo to us and we got ourselves a free prenup video!

The prenup video shoot was our first face to face meeting and we already felt at ease with the team. Prior to the shoot, Anna sent us a very loooong email as an assignment so that they could capture who we are as a couple. Her goal was for us to remember what it felt like when we started going out.

Corkulous

It was a fun exercise for us and it led Liz to buy her own iPad 3rd gen because of the Corkulous app. It's a cork board app that lets you layout pictures, text, and labels to make information overload simpler. We exported these cork boards to PDF and synched it to a dropbox folder we shared with Aisle 1401.

Anyway, we always wanted a light feel to our wedding. The songs we chose took a very long time to finalize. When the new Jason Mraz cd came out, Everything Is Sound  made an impression on us. We almost used it for our SDE but decided to stick with our chosen SDE song.

The result of the prenup shoot is nothing but awesome. When Anna said they will make something that will stand the test of time, they really meant it. We love the fact that our video is also "functional" as a karaoke clip.

Matt Nathanson's "Faster" wasn't our first choice for our SDE. We wanted something else but Anna mentioned that it will be used by one of their clients. Although it was ok to reuse a song, we wanted our song to be the first song that Aisle 1401 will work on. Liz suggested on using Faster and only  two SDEs used the song that we found in Youtube.

We knew Aisle 1401 during the prenup shoot that they were continuity junkies. As we are too, we suggested to continue were we left off during the prenup shoot. We suggested to continue from the Mraz outro and fast cut sequences of our prenup from the intro of "Faster". These fast cut sequences are our favorites... check out their videos on where they used We Found Love by Rihanna. Knowing how they're capable, we wanted those cuts in-synch with the beat of "Faster". The result was, again, amazing.

Outside the usual video shoots, Aisle 1401 posted in their Facebook page they wanted to do Gangnam Style video while the song is still hot. Liz volunteered our Sunday wedding if they were game to give us another freebie. We were actually driving to Lucena when the deal was finalized. So during our wedding preps, we shot sequences for our PSY parody. We were also blessed with family and friends who were brave enough to join us as our backup dancers. The video shoot became an after party for our close friends. There were no food served but everybody was entertained just by being silly and foolish. We were also able to get our other suppliers to join in the video.

We love Aisle 1401. The kind of love where you want to get married again just so you can get them to work with you... again.
