Eat, drink and be married!

I have always envisioned my bridal shoes to be the work by a certain Mr Christian Louboutin. Yet dreams and reality are somewhat, opposing ends. I've tried them at On Peddar and found them impossible to last beyond standing. :x

So then, Anna Nucci becomes the most sought after brand locally for sparkly heels.

If you have the time and leave, plan a trip to bangkok to get them! I got mine at Platinum Mall. :)

And here's mine at a fraction of the cost - not the highest heel I'd have hoped for but mighty pleased with another ticked off the list!

P.S. Someone just reminded me, I can always have more than a pair of bridal shoes. So then, I'm keeping the Louboutin dream alive, maybe a comfy pair could come my way! 

Videography and photography go hand in hand, otherwise known as VG and PG. Remembering the all important day in film is a decision most couples have to make because these are on top of the existing costs.

Infact, all my life I thought these are inclusive in the bridal package...not. The most the bridal package includes is pre-wedding photography. Actual day photography and videography have to be sourced separately.

What makes a video tick. We were looking for one that would touch, with a storyline and not just be a record of the day's event. Studio after studio we browsed and were this close to concluding the VG and PG together when we chanced upon Lighthouse Studios. Pricey indeed but we were touched. Even my family were all for it. I suppose what makes them different is the storyboarding concept that they offer, rather than just go in and shoot the day's happenings.

We met up with Kevin shortly and two meetings later, Lighthouse was hired! Kevin has been an amazing help thusfar...definitely not pushy and very affable. He shared his wedding tips with us so freely, what to look out for, what not to do...even before we hired them!

Subsequently we settled on Julius for photography. Somehow I am for the idea of signing both together so we get some savings at least! So do check with your appointed VG if they work with any PG. :) It is through discussions that we realised also that the basic VG packages do not come with a chapter-ised segment, these are additional. What is the point in getting raw footage actually if neither of us are good with editing? Hence, top up is a must.

What makes photos tick then..? I suppose the main criteria we had was to have the main photographer to shoot rather than associates. Be careful that some established studios have more than just associate and main photographer, they can split further into senior associate and the likes of it. It is true that every photographer has his own style so it is essential to communicate your ideas before committing and deciding. That cuts down all the room for post purchase dissonance!

With our deposits settled, I look forward to counting down and weaving our story!
