A Blessing in Disguise


All things really work together for good. 

We were  scheduled to have our pre-nup video with our dear friend, Essie Molina, when mother nature decided to held us hostage in the house. Realizing that it's no longer possible to shoot outdoors, we immediately drafted a Plan B, something that's workable indoors and something that's not going to eat up too much time (since half of our day was already wasted praying for the rain to stop). 

Amidst the heavy rains, we found comfort in the surface of an old blackboard and colored chalks. The video turned out super fun. Thank God for Mac's drawing skills and Essie's mile-long patience, I honestly would not have it any other way.

So without further ado, we proudly present our stop motion save-the-date video.





Love is in the Details



Mac and I have recently discovered the joys of DIY projects. If only we'd have more time, we'd gladly DIY our way into the wedding. Well who could blame us? It's fun, it's budget-friendly, it reflects who we are as a couple.  Plus, it's also an avenue for our errr... "his" creativity and my crazy ideas.. xD 

Since we have always been fascinated with pop ups, we thought of incorporating it into the design which, by the way, is perfect, since our wedding theme is Kids at heart.

So here's our very first DIY, a pop-up save-the-date that doubles as "will you be?" cards:



Oh, I love how Mac would often turn some of my nutty ideas into a work of art! (Proud gf talking. haha!)
