The most wonderful Daniel Galang sent me some photos of our other mutual clients Joje and Andre’s engagement session. Coincidentally enough, they are getting married just a week after Karen and Christian! They are an adorably cute and fun couple and Daniel again captures that very beautifully. Preview some photos here then check out Daniel’s website:

I’ve known photographer Daniel Galang since my second year of college. At my first general body meeting of Kaibigang Pilipino at UCSD, Daniel was the first person to come up to me during an icebreaker game. We’ve become good friends since then, participating as officers in the organization as well as taking those great [sarcasm well intended] lower-division engineering requirement classes together! We’ve come a long way since then and definitely have a long way to go, but Daniel just gets better and better with each job! The wonderful Daniel sent me some photos of our clients Karen and Christian’s engagement session. These pictures are ah-maze-ing! Daniel not only caught how they want the look and feel of their wedding to be (very classy!), but more importantly, he made them look really good. I’m sure it wasn’t too hard to do that especially as Karen being a model on the side, but even Christian looked so GQ and modelesque.

Can’t pick a favorite? Neither can we. =)

I think everyone would agree that it’s always nice getting something unexpected in the mail (that’s not a bill).  It’s even better when you receive a package! 

Last week, we received a box..

And when I opened it, I was happily surprised to find this…

50 copies of Get Married! magazine!!

…and in this magazine is an ad for Simply Chic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In January, Ginet and I attended our first Event Planning and Coordination conference that was hosted in New Orleans, LA.  While we were there, we were inspired.  We really wanted to focus on making our business better this year and we vowed to do it.  It was one of our goals to get our name out there.  While walking around the exhibition hall, we got to meet a lot of vendors and one of them was Get Married! magazine.  They offered a great rate for us to advertise online and in one of their magazines, so we did it!!

And this is the end product!  How exciting is that!!!!!

My twin nephew and niece had their first birthday party a few months ago. My cousin Jasmine did an amazing job with all the decor! She’s usually not one to be all crafty without the help of my sister Marj, cousin-in-law Rowena (a couple people asked me if I made some of the stuff), so kudos to her! She hired the wonderful Heidi from heidiophoto to capture Damon and Danica’s special day. Pictures are on Heidi’s blog: http://heidiophoto.com/blog/?p=2985, but here’s a preview:

April and I would love to announce that Simply Chic is an official Envelopments Dealer/Designer!!!

We have been using their products from the very beginning so it’s a big business step for us to be an offical Dealer/Designer. Envelopments offers quality products and we LOVE their NEW products!

If you purchase a Mini Deck, you can receive a $20 rebate off your order of Envelopments product from us:

We would like to give a shout out to Jennifer and my cousin Mark from Envelopments!

Are you all just as EXCITED as we are???

Hello all! This is my first time blogging as a newly engaged woman! I’ll blog about the proposal next, but I wanted to let everyone know about the upcoming Wedding Party Bridal Show on Sunday, March 7. It will take place at the ever-so-hip Hard Rock Hotel in downtown San Diego from 12-5pm.

This will be my third time attending this awesome show but this time as a bride-to-be with my mom and sister. Every show is different (they seem to keep adding more & more elements to the show). Not only will there be all the different vendors, but there will be a “Say Yes To The Dress” gown changing area to try on designer gowns (I think I’ll definitely check this out!) and a grooms lounge. On the rooftop of the Hard Rock, they will feature the new Rehearsal Dinner Restaurant Row with San Diego’s best restaurants (i.e. free samples!) and night clubs, along with a design gallery and DJ lounge. Yes, there’s a BUNCH of stuff going on so you might want to get there early. It costs $20 but brides & grooms can register here for half-price tickets:

Extra guests can print this out for half-price tickets as well:

Hope to see you there! =)

A few weeks ago, Ginet and I had the opportunity to roam around downtown with the amazing Heidi Orcino, an AWESOME, San Diego based photographer who (coincidentally) we’ve had the pleasure to work with on a couple of different weddings!  She was kind enough to help us take “professional” pictures for our business.. how super cool is she!!!? :]

Her pictures are so crisp and so fresh.  Initially, Ginet and I wanted to take complicated/busy pictures, but she gave us her input on using more simple, textured backgrounds with nice lighting and and seriously, she was ON POINT.  The pictures turned out exactly how we wanted them: simple and chic.

If you are in need of a photographer for any of your events, definitely check out Heidiophoto.

For one reason or another, the 19th is a big day for a bunch of people I know.  For myself, the 19th [of Sept] was the day I kissed my boyfriend for the first time. For my brother and his wife, the 19th [of Sept] was their wedding day.  Then there were a couple more weddings for special people in my life that landed on the 19th.. Joyce and Atlee [July '08] and Jamie and Chris [April '09].  I can’t forget that the 19th [of Oct] was a happy day for my roomie as well..  it was the day she and her boyfriend officially started dating.

And now, for one of my best friends since high school aka Ginet of Simply Chic and Justin, the 19th is special to them because it is the day that they got engaged.

I was in Tahoe snowboarding with my boyfriend this past weekend when I got a text from Ginet that read, “Ahh! I’m engaged!”  Ohhh, those 3 little words that EVERY girl wants to be able to say/text/write someday (if they haven’t already).  I was ecstatic to read the news and I’m sure Ginet was moreso to give the news!!

Congratulations Ginet and Justin!!!! I cannot be any happier for the two of you!
