Jason Magbanua is one of a very select group of wedding videographers that understands how to craft a story of substance and manage to meld it with cinematic visuals. It seems as though the majority of that industry manages to do one or the other, rarely a compelling combination of both. Magbanua was one of the early pioneers of the wedding Same Day Edit, and he continues to evolve and improve. His studio’s corporate and commercial work has long been an inspiration to me. And their latest creation, a demonstration of the capabilities of the new Canon EOS 7D camera, does not disappoint. Watch below.
