ENGAGEMENT: { OBET & MARIAN }

--
Was pleasantly surprised to see this set on Cocoon Studio's website. Obet and Marian are booked at our home base, The Mango Farm, and are due to wed in May 2014. It's so wonderful that they already did their engagement shoot while preps are still not on the upswing, which we think is a great idea as couples can be themselves, and there's no need to cram when the date's already near.

We just love the vista in this set, and the old growth Sequoia trees are just awe-inspiring! This area usually is shrouded in coastal marine layer fog because of its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, and is just perfect for shoots.  

It's so nice that everything looked really relaxed and that Obet & Marian chose to shoot in the urban areas as well. Can't wait to see their wedding photos! ^_^

REAL WEDDING: { JOMS & ABBY } USA

Long before it became quite the trend to bring in items & ideas from America for use in Philippine weddings, our craft team, {etc} Handmade Goodness, already made a mark by doing the opposite: by sending our items to the US for a wedding there instead.

Of course this wouldn't have been possible without the support of couples like Joemar & Marvie who trusted us to do the right thing despite the team being a new player back then (this was in November 2011 - the year the craft team was born!) and looking back at this laid-back but elegant wedding, boy are we glad to have been a part of it!

We were just thrilled to find out where the wedding venue was and we felt that although the planning was made miles away and we only met Bride Marvie in Manila a few days before she was about to leave, that all the details really came together beautifully.

Here's looking back at that wonderful Autumn day in New York almost two years ago.
