Hello, sweethearts! It’s a new week once again, so why don’t we greet this bright new day with a sun-drenched set from MangoRed? I really love when engagement shoots are effortlessly styled and give that natural fun vibe–much like this one! Aaron and Angela’s engagement session is so charming and personal, you can almost feel the chemistry between these lovebirds. Sweet mini dresses, quirky letter blocks, and interesting details make this shoot full of character and playfulness! It makes you want to go out and spend a fun day outdoors with your beau!

In the meantime, stay a while and enjoy this set styled by the fabulous people of Rabbithole Creatives.

Of Daydreams and Raindrops

May 23, 2013 / Posted by in Engagement Shoots

One of the most important things you need on your checklist when you plan your engagement session is to have fun! Playing around and being candid brings out the chemistry between you and your man, and allows the camera to capture it. I’m convinced it’s the X-factor in many engagement shoots that really stand out!

Andy and Tina’s shoot is a whirlpool of quirky charm and cute details! It almost reminds me of a more youthful 500 Days of Summer with the animated doodles and the zany prints–too quaint and adorable! Something Splendid was behind the oh-so-brilliant styling of course! This was one adventure I loved being a spectator of, dreaming of sunny rays and carefree days spent frolicking around with someone you can be downright sweet and silly with. Oh happy happy joy joy!

Are we having the loveliest morning or what? If we made a list of our favorite things (and people) in this world, then we’d have a big check mark on today’s editorial. Gorgeous cakes… check! A beautiful garden location and awesome set styling… check!  Our faves from the wedding industry… a big check!

Let’s go through it shall we? We perfectly know that a Veluz gown can make a thousand jaws drop in a matter of seconds. Well… what if you get to see nine of them all at once? These dresses hail from the recently launched Veluz RTW bridal collection, and yes, we cannot stop swooning over them. The famous and lovely lady photog Jaja Samaniego and flower genius Dylan Gozum of Vatel Manila invited us to be part of this masterpiece shoot and we didn’t hesitate on our “yes”! Maybe that’s due to knowing everything these folks touch turns into awe-inspiring art.

    Rendezvous in Shanghai

    May 20, 2013 / Posted by in Engagement Shoots

    Let’s start the week off with poignant romance. Pack up your little distractions and fly off for a few minutes into your imagination with this engagement shoot from Pat Dy. This shoot made my heart skip a beat–it’s sweet, passionate, and simply stylish. There’s also an air of sentimentality that comes from the beautiful structures and architectural details. It evokes the air of an old romance in a big city–two people finding their way to each other amidst the hustle and bustle of the metropolis. Isn’t that enough to send your heart racing? Add to that all the other elements like: dramatically shot details, chic and sleek ensembles, perfect lighting, and of course, a couple in love… and you are brought into a love story perfectly narrated in photographs.

    Happy Monday, dear readers. Here’s one to jumpstart your hopeless romantic hearts!

    English Elegance

    May 16, 2013 / Posted by in Real Weddings

    Good morning, B&B-ers! Today we take a break from our tropical atmosphere and enjoy a wedding by MangoRed from the alluringly chilly gardens of England. Rob and Celine’s wedding is telltale of everything English–charming, elegant, formal, and refined. From the calligraphy, to the neutral palette of the entourage dresses, down to the straightforward table setup, and even the guests! Everything looked delightfully dignified. It’s fun to get posh and polished every once in a while too!

    This set is a refreshing interlude to our wedding lineup. Best viewed with the tunes of Ella Fitzgerald softly playing in the background!
