The husband is yet to see the actual album but so far I'm happy with the final output. I will be returning the parent's album since I want a few pages changed but other than that, it's all good. I have managed to convert a few parts of the wedding video to share to you guys. First video is the wedding teaser and then the second one is the Hotel preps.

We had so much fun shooting with Atty. Fortun. My kwela family had fun posing for him and he had fun posing with everybody as well. Super bait, quiet at work but very dedicated to what he is doing. We booked him mga 3 weeks before the wedding and I even thought I won't have a back-up photographer na because it was not really part of the budget. My mom then asked me if I want, she'll ask our trusted photographer Mang Domeng to take pictures during the wedding. Not that I don't like Mang Domeng, but mas madami na new photographers and his style was really old school. I told my mom about Atty Fortun and she said yes.
Camille and her team were great. They truly made my wedding hassle free. I'm glad I got her as coordinator when my other preferred coordinator was no longer available (hi, jody!), i started checking with other coordinators na. The only one I met out of all I called was camille. When I met up with her, my parents were with me and my parents liked her too.
Len Oliver aka DJ Billie, a former w@wie herself and a blogger friend. We have met through our blogs. She has hosted a w@w Christmas party already and tons of events. I never even looked for any other person to host our reception party. When I messaged her about it, she was more than happy to do so. We met up twice, the second one a few days before Christmas with Camille. She helped a lot with the program and with what games we are to play.
I got my shoes in one week so that's really good service. I gave them a good size of the cloth of my gown and just picked a really simple design. no beadwork na din as it's amonn who'll do beadwork on my shoes. The shoes was ok lang. I was expecting that they give it to me at a lesser rate since i provided for the cloth naman but that's ok.
Bridal cars are expensive. I wanted an SUV for my bridal car even if I have been getting a lot of comments that I might have a hard time going up the car in my gown. This supplier i found through the w@w yellow pages. At first I didn't want to inquire kasi range rover, baka expensive. But when Ate Cristina texted me back, within budget pala.
Everybody loved the photobooth! Nadia is a darling. Just met up with her once and then all the other times we would just call each other or text. We were only able to give her our backdrop design, Jan 2. Jan 4 ko lang na send ang picture for the layout. Jan 5, she texted me that she sent me the layout. I didn't have time to check with it so it was Dino who took care of it. I think he requested for some changes but everything was followed kahit na night before the wedding na. I don't even know if they really just operated for 3 hours kasi feeling ko longer pa.
Dino & I decided that we just want simple rings, not much bling. We both wanted rings that we could wear everyday. We loved a design they had at Tiffany's and when i saw the same design during a matus bridal exhibit, I knew I found the one. I saw simillar designs with other suppliers but the rings from matus seemed heavier and Allain was super nice. Actually, everyone over at Matus is bait. Other than our rings, they gave us a lot of freebies *weebee*!
I honestly didn't want to spend that much for my gown. My reasoning is, I only get to wear it once. After the wedding, wala naman na so feeling ko sayang ang pera. I was willing to find a supplier in divisoria but none of those I met really impressed me. I went to a couple other suppliers like Noe Reyes and Bridal Factory. I was suppose to get Noe but it took him 2 weeks to provide me with the initial sketch of the gown tapos my mom was not really impressed by his work. With Bridal Factory naman, the quote given was higher of that than Amonn's pero feeling namin parang we would get a better deal with Amonn kaya we booked him. Amonn has his share of very bad rating at w@w. All this came out after I have booked him. Pero, I have this attitude of thinking positive and trusting my suppliers kaya I went ahead with my transactions with him. Plus the fact that I NEVER had a bad experience with Amonn. Most of our visits sa shop nya, we would have to wait talaga kasi dami customers.
I love kaye! Food is very important for us and after my food tasting with kaye, i knew i was going to get her already. I only had one other food tasting other than kaye and that is with cuillere. The food with cuillere is good too but since other than good food, kaye provides really nice set-up--we went with her. Deadma with the feedback that she does not call back nor text back. She had my 100% trust and she didn't disappoint us. When the wedding day draw nearer naman, sya na din tatawag sayo. teehee!
