Spraining her ankle two weeks before the wedding, the untimely blackout during our makeup test and other mishaps led Tin to entertain typical wedding superstitious beliefs. She'd often joke about blaming it on fitting her gown. But despite all the unexpected mishaps, she still managed to have her picture-perfect wedding. Not to mention the awesome customized beaded sneakers as a bonus on her big day.

The Lady by the Lake
She and Ace, A Wedding by the Lake
The day started with drops of rain.
Hopes of sunshine begin to wane.
Then there she was elegantly floating on the hanging bridge.
We all watched as she walked her pace,
With that beautiful glow on her face.
The skies cleared,
Everyone stood still...
For the lady by the lake.

Blanche
Blanche is the bride who every bride wishes can be her wedding planner. With a flick of a finger my hairstylist and I got booked for her wedding in Boracay a year in advance without even doing a makeup test and kept in touch since.
Her blog http://moonsnjunes.wordpress.com became an instant source of wedding themes, suppliers and insights for brides-to-be. This inspired me to put down my makeup brush and start my own blog (that I have tried, failed, tried again over the years).
Blanche is so OC with details that she even managed to book the perfect weather for a rainy month in Bora (haha!). Even with the celebrity wedding nearby (that we all dreaded during preparation), Blanche's wedding was perfect. With sand on our feet, smiles on our faces, it was the ideal beach wedding - simple, intimate and heartwarming.
And I got the best souvenir. Blanche became my friend. :)

Mae, the model bride
A few months ago, I went to Sara Black's studio to do a shoot for a clinic and met one of the models, Mae who was in the middle of choosing her suppliers for her upcoming wedding. After work, we ended up browsing through the net for all prospective suppliers and ideas for her wedding. She just wanted a nice, grecian themed wedding.
Weeks after, we were booked to do her pre nup at Thunderbird, La Union with photographer Nelwin Uy and his team. The pre nup shoot wasn't just nice. IT WAS GRAND. :)

Mackie and Joanne
When it's your good friend who's getting married, you hold your breath harder, and you dread the walk in the aisle because you already know you're going to cry or be captured in the videos sniffing all the tears in. But if your friend is marrying someone like Mackie, it's a whole different experience *wink wink*. Love you both!
