Little did he know that it would be the beginning of a career in video production in Spain. The debutante was very pleased with the gift. The community got wind of the beautiful video and before RJ knew it, service requests for birthdays and debuts from family and friends poured in.

Weddings eventually became his signature product. What sets him apart from the other videographers in Barcelona is the 5-minute teaser, featuring the highlights of the wedding, which is shown usually during the reception. He was the first to introduce this on-the-spot/same-day edit in Barcelona. Subsequently, the full length video would be done a few months after.

RJ is already a household name as wedding videographer in Barcelona. He is an artist and aspiring Film maker. He was inspired by Jason Magbanua, his professor in College. Jason Magbanua, an internationally known and awarded wedding videographer, opened his eyes to the world of storytelling and videography.

“Sabi ko sa sarili ko, gusto kong maging siya,” RJ said. (I told myself I wanted to be like him.)

I have seen some of his wedding videos which are uploaded on YouTube. I am impressed by his creativity and versatility as a videographer. He represents a new breed of videographers who go beyond the run-of-the mill wedding video coverages. His works which are non-linear and show his great storytelling ability. These are art film quality videos comparable with seasoned videographers like Jason Magbanua.

“I dream of making a featured films and short films one day,” RJ said.

With his accomplishment in the industry in just 9 years, his talent and determination, the realization of this dream is not farfetched.

To his followers who are also dreaming to become a wedding videographer, RJ has this to say, “Don't stop dreaming to reach a higher goal in life. We should aspire to inspire others.”

“My legacy is to be an idol to the youth.”
