Wedding Photographer and Videographer

From my previous post, I mentioned that I attended a wedding fair in MOA. And from there we were able to book our first supplier for our big day! The STUDIO1! We decided to book them that day because of the discounts and freebies that they are offering exclusive for the wedding fair... of course we did some online research first about their portfolio and reputation but do you think we're impulsive??? Hahah! We were so excited and since it's only 1000php to reserve/book then we went ahead and booked them on the spot!

After the wedding fair, we still continued searching for photographer and videographer even we're already booked with Studio1. Who knows, we might find someone else with better offer and as good as Studio1.

As of now, our heart still goes with Studio1 because of their beautiful works and the nice package we got from them. Our package includes the following:

15% discount

Why should you attend Wedding Fair/Expo?

Last Sunday, October 25, 2015, we attended the Wedding Fair Philippines in MOA (we meaning I was there physically and he was virtually there with me through skype since he is currently in US ^__^)

It was a great experience and I would recommend every engaged couple to attend these kind of gatherings!

Below are just some of the reasons why you should go to wedding fairs/expo:

1. It's FREE! Everyone loves free! Most wedding fairs/expo offers free entrance as long as you register ONLINE. For walk ins, some will have entrance fee of 100php, some are still free.

2. The fun & excitement! It was a great experience for us. We had so much fun, the feeling was like you attended a festival... it was like a wedding festival! Each booth was well-decorated. There are freebies everywhere, like food samples, make-up trials, even free shampoos.

3. Meet new/different wedding suppliers. There are tons of them in different categories for your wedding needs.

4. Save money through Event Promos! During Wedding fairs/expo, suppliers will offer you different types of event promos! Some will give big discounts from their original rates and some comes with a lot of freebies from their original packages. You just have to make sure that you know them well before you book them! Dont get too much excited about their offers. Even during the expo, use your pocket wifi or data to research about the supplier for their works/reputations based on the reviews of their previous clients.

5. Get some ideas for your big day!

6. Raffles! There are raffles given during this event. Just look for the mechanics to join!

Please share with us your experience in wedding fairs and expo by leaving a comment below ;)

Cheers!

The Wedding Date

So we tried browsing for garden wedding venue and emailed some of them...most of their replies would ask us for the exact date of our wedding which we have not yet decided. What we have initially are only target months, that is between December 2016 to March 2017. But because we think it is needed when we search for our venue, we started to discuss about our Wedding Date and we have already decided. Our target Wedding Date will be on... for now, we'll keep it between the two us ;)

The Wedding Journal

...because we wanted to have something that we can go back to in the future, we decided to have our very own wedding journal.

It will contain all the memories about the planning and preparation for the wedding...

This blog is actually a wedding journal already but aside from this we wanted to have something tangible so we went to the mall in search for a notebook. We went to National Bookstore and there are a lot of choices, from cheap to expensive, from chick to formal. After few minutes we've found the right one for us...meet our very own wedding journal for only ~150php. We also bought a pen that we will be using with it for only 7.50php! The brand is Titus Fine, it writes smoothly and ofcourse the ink color is pink!


 

Immediately after buying the journal, we started using it!
Guess what we first wrote as part of our wedding plan...

taddaaa! The guest list... we decided to write down first all our families/relatives/friends and later on decide who are the people that will be on the non negotiable list, meaning they have to be on our wedding.


For couples out there who are planning for their wedding, I think keeping a wedding journal as one of your memorabilia is a great idea ;)
