When Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez tied the knot almost a year ago, it was as much of a celebration for the show-biz couple’s families, friends and fans, as it was for the suppliers who made the day a truly memorable event.
Print Divas, the design and print company responsible for the couple’s invitation, produced the ultimate souvenir, with its use of elegant fonts and clean layouts, as well as dreamy photos of a very much in love Alcasid and Velasquez in Terrazas de Punta Fuego.
The same classy treatment was seen in the February 2011 wedding invitation of actor-host John Estrada and Miss Earth 2004 Priscilla Meirelles. A stylized script typeface and pictures of Estrada and Meirelles in the happiest of times at the beach reflected the couple’s obvious joy and affection for each other.
Niche
Owned and operated by Ther Galang and Charisse Tinio, Print Divas has since expanded its services from digital flat press and offset printing to graphic design and pre-press processes like conceptualization, layout and typesetting. Its expertise has grown as well: after making a mark in the business for its social stationeries and unique wedding and birthday invites, Print Divas now creates brochures, calling cards, folders, catalogues, flyers, posters and other print requirements.
The stunning photos of the celebrity couples were provided by Nice Print, a digital photo and video services provider launched by Tinio and a lean team of three in 2005.
Establishing itself as a developer and printer of photographs, the company eventually found its niche in weddings—a huge market that would spur its speedy growth. Now with a team of 45 photographers, videographers, film editors and layout artists. Nice Print operates 15 digital photo laboratories using top-of-the-line equipment from Nikon and Sony.
Tinio’s personalized approach to clients and her crew’s painstaking attention to detail have made Nice Print a sought-after name in major bridal fairs, including the Wedding Expo Philippines and the Philippine Wedding Summit. It also received recognition as one of Wedding At Work’s top 10 suppliers and The Wedding Library’s top booker in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
Meanwhile, word about its exceptional work has spread beyond these shores; Nice Print boasts bookings with British, Latino, Vietnamese and Chinese clients, as well as wedding coverages in the US, Canada, France, UK, Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore.
Of course, the jobs we’re most familiar with are their celebrity portraits, and judging from the inspiring images of Alcasid and Velasquez, Estrada and Meirelles, and other couples in wedded bliss (R’n’B singer Kyla with her basketball player beau Rich Alvarez, actress Say Alonzo and Ryan Tordesillas, and acoustic MYMP singer Juris with her non-showbiz boyfriend), it’s clear that Nice Print knows exactly how to capture love.
