It was a beautiful afternoon last October 10, 2014 at the Manila Peninsula Hotel…  Look at these gorgeous blooms!!! They just instantly brightened up my day 🙂

Another wedding, another stunning gown… This one by the talented Francis Libiran 🙂

Angela was my beautiful bride that day 🙂

Special thanks to one of my favorite hairstylists, RJ Dela Cruz, for doing such a great job on Angela’s hair 🙂 An effortless and loose updo with fresh flowers 🙂

I love Angela’s deep set eyes 🙂

Thanks RJ and Mike for helping Angela out with her gown! Haha!

Angela’s smile and laughter was infectious 🙂

Hope you had a wonderful wedding, Angela! 🙂

Last October 23, 2014 was another pretty client’s wedding.  Her name is Ali 🙂

It was a beautiful morning and our wedding preps were in Richmonde Hotel, Eastwood 🙂  Here are some of the wonderful details of her wedding…

Look at her super cute and personalized wedding shoes 🙂  They’re soooo “wicked”.

Hanging on the wall was Ali’s beautiful gown by Rosenthal Tee 🙂

Yes, I’m very serious while working.  LOL!

Makeup done 🙂  I enjoyed doing Ali’s makeup.  She has beautiful eyes and flawless skin 🙂

I love this photo of Ali and her adorable daughter! 🙂

All dressed up and ready to go!  Special thanks to one of my favorite hairstylists, Miss Helen Egan for L’oreal Professionel 🙂  Love this side pony for Ali.

So pretty!

Miss Helen and I also did the hair and makeup for Ali’s beautiful mom and gorgeous sister 🙂  Don’t they look fab??? 🙂

Isha

Last September 8, 2014 was the wedding of one of my favorite and sweetest clients, Isha 🙂  I first met her when I did her makeup for her prom.  Such a smart and beautiful lady, this one.  Then I’d see her one prom after another.  Haha!  Such a heartthrob!  Then it was her grad ball then debut 🙂  I remember I was almost about to give birth during her debut but I really didn’t want to miss that day.

I was so happy and excited when I found out she was engaged and that she wanted me to save the date to be her makeup artist for the wedding!  I was too excited.  Isha is like a younger sister to me.  And on this wonderful Monday morning in September, I was at her house, reunited with the kindest family, the De Vera’s 🙂

I was also so excited to see my handmade crocheted dolls in Liza’s room! 🙂  Liza is Isha’s beautiful mom who adopted two of my Googlees.  Awwww, thanks so much, Liza 🙂  They’re so lucky to be in such a beautiful home 🙂

What a stunning bouquet with this very special locket.

Check out the details of Isha’s gorgeous gown by the very talented, Kristel Yulo 🙂  She’s also designing my future sister-in-law’s gown.  Can’t wait!

Love the color of these Kate Spade shoes 🙂

Here’s our bride, Isha 🙂  Makeup done.  Thank you so much to RJ Dela Cruz for doing Isha’s hair 🙂 Thanks for assisting also, Mike! I love working with you guys! 🙂

Smile, Isha 🙂

Our view while doing makeup 🙂  Special thanks to my makeup assistant that day, Patricia Layog! 🙂  Always fun having you around, Patricia!  Here she is finishing up Isha’s little sister Inya’s makeup.

Isha and Liza with my handmade dolls 🙂 AWWWW, priceless photo 🙂

Beautiful Inya and Liza 🙂

It’s almost time 🙂

I just couldn’t stop taking photos of Liza with my dolls 🙂 Haha!!!  Thanks so much for posing with them again, Liza. Hihihi… *kilig*  You look so fab! 🙂

Isha’s ride has arrived.

It started to rain but no worries 🙂

Isha and her bridal team 🙂

One last shot before leaving for the Church 🙂

Thank you so much, Isha, for making me part of every important event in your life 🙂  You and your mom have always been so kind to me and every time I see you both, it’s like nothing has changed!  Cheers to this new and exciting journey called marriage.  I look forward to seeing you and your mom again 🙂  See you soon, Isha! 🙂

 

Teacher Kit

View from the hotel room 🙂 Wonderful morning indeed!

It was an early start for hair and makeup last September 6, 2014 🙂  I really don’t mind waking up in the wee hours of the morning.  It’s so peaceful knowing almost everyone is still asleep 🙂

Our wedding preps were in Manila Hotel, one of my favorite hotels, and the bride was one of my favorite preschool teachers at my son’s previous school, Teacher Kit 🙂

Teacher Kit was my son’s very first teacher.  Damien Crow was about two years old and he couldn’t speak yet.  So there was a time when he would bite his other classmates when he would get frustrated.  This was our biggest issue at that time.  Haha!  Thank you for your patience, Teacher Kit! 🙂

Beautiful bouquet… Love the color.

Almost done with makeup 🙂 Photographed by Nice Print 🙂

Teacher Kit and the morning sun 🙂

Teacher Kit’s pretty sister and Maid of Honor 🙂

Beautiful Mother of the Bride 🙂

Gorgeous sisters 🙂

Sleeping Beauty 🙂

Me and glowing, Teacher Kit 🙂

Me and the beautiful teachers of The Learning Jungle! 🙂  I miss you guys so much! Haha! (sad laugh!)

You all look fabulous, Teacher Rina, Teacher Nat and Teacher Dez!!!

Special thanks to the team, RJ, celebrity hairstylist, and Patricia, assistant makeup artist 🙂

Til we meet again, Teacher Kit! 🙂  Thank you for making me part of your big day and also a million thanks for being an important part of my son’s preschool years! 🙂

My Yogi Bride: Isabel

It was a beautiful Saturday morning at the Manila Peninsula Hotel last February 15, 2014 🙂

Gorgeous and flawless yoga teacher, Isabel, was getting married that day! 🙂  I first met Isabel during a photo shoot for Metro Weddings Magazine.  She was one of the brides that were featured and we clicked instantly.  Thankful for that day we met! 🙂

Here were Isabel’s beautiful bridesmaids helping her get ready 🙂

I need to do yoga again.  I want arms like Isabel’s.  Haha! 🙂

Isn’t she lovely??? 🙂

One of my favorite hairstylists to work with is George Aliben for Kiehl’s 🙂  Here he is attaching Isabel’s veil.  Thank you, George!

Isabel was glowing inside and out.  She was a stunning bride! I loved her bouquet, too 🙂

Thank you, Isabel, for such an easy, breezy day!  Good vibes all around! 🙂

Congratulations once again and thank you for making me part of your wedding preps.  Truly a pleasure 🙂

Til we meet again 🙂

Kristina: A February Bride

It was a beautiful Saturday morning on the 8th of February this year 🙂

(I know, super late post… Hehe!)

It was Kristina’s big day!  Her wedding preps were in Acua Verde Beach Resort in Batangas 🙂

Special thanks to my wonderful assistant makeup artist that day, Ham! I miss you!!!

You were such a big help, thank you, Ham! 🙂

The bride all dressed up and ready to go…  I made the makeup very fresh and natural with some bronzer on the cheeks, perfect for a beach wedding 🙂

I love beach weddings.
