Anddddd we’re back from sunny Cuba!! Wait… did I say sunny? It was raining half the time!!!!! And when I say rain, I mean it was POURING! Like, literally buckets of water being poured down from the sky. Kevin and I were so lucky that we had a 5 minute break from the rain, which allowed me to capture the photo that I can proudly call The Winner Shot from Carmen and Andrea’s wedding. 
Of course, Carmen and Andrea were really awesome and didn’t mind taking photos in the rain, but then we would have had to keep the convertible’s top on and we all know it just isn’t the same with the top on.
I have a really weird habit. Before I sit down and work, I HAVE TO CLEAN UP MY PLACE!! For some reason, if the place is messy or dirty, I just could not concentrate at work. So before sitting down at my desk today, I did a deep clean. And yes, the place is twice as big as my old place, and it took twice a long to clean…. 
Speaking of cleaning, here are some photos of our new home from the very first day. The name of this blog post pretty much sums it up.
It may look like I did all the cleaning, but trust me, Kevin cleaned just as much!
It was September 2011, exactly one year before their wedding date, when Monica and Jeff booked me to be their wedding photographer. During our 2 hour meeting (more like girls talking about wedding stuff :p), we briefly talked about what they wanted to do for their engagement shoot. Ideas were thrown out, and the girls quickly vetoed Jeff’s idea on a zombi engagement shoot. It woulddddddd be fun, but just not this time. Sorry Jeff. :p
So instead of the zombi themed engagement shoot, we opted for the romantic theme of cherry blossom! This may sound really girly, but I’m sure Jeff secretly liked the idea too. Just like how he secretly likes watching Sex and the City and Grey’s Anatomy. Sorry again Jeff… hahaha
Here my winner shot from their engagement shoot today.
Internet, meet Winnie and Jon, my first signed couple from the We Wed Bridal Show, and what great couple to start the wedding season! Winnie and Jon are just the sweetest couple. Ever!
They held on to each other the entire time, keeping Winnie warm from the early spring yet still chilly weather. Don’t worry Winnie, no goose bumps were shown in the photos hahaha
Despite how awkward they claimed they are in front of camera, I think Winnie and Jon did wonderfully posing for me today from their engagement shoot. More photos to come~!
It was Saturday, March 10th, 2012. Lisa was driving me back home at the end of the We Wed Bridal Show, when she blurted out that she has something to tell me. Apparently her dad had texted her earlier and told her that Edwin, her boyfriend of almost 3 years, has dropped off a bottle of wine at her parents home. “I think I know why he dropped off the wine! I think he was asking my parents for permission..to ask me to marry him!” But then after confronting Edwin with this, he convinced her that he gave them a bottle of win on behalf of his parents, because of Chinese New Year. And She believed him.
On the ride home, I told her not to think too much of it. “You don’t want to get your hopes up and it end up not happening! You would be so disappointed! And if anything, if he really was going to propose to him, he would let me know! Right? How else is he supposed to know what size and what design to get for your engagement ring? So don’t worry about it right now, because I would know if he was planning on proposing.” ……. When she got home later that night, Edwin proposed to Lisa.
Yeah….. I knew.
Yesterday, Lisa came over to my place for dinner and she officially asked me to be her Maid of Honour for her wedding next year. I knew this was coming, not only because we’ve been best friends for the past 15 years, but also because I asked her directly a few days ago… Cuz I don’t want to assumeeeeeee…… Just because we’re besties….you know…. hahah
I am going to take this opportunity and show some pictures that I took of Edwin when we went ring shopping for Lisa.
Congrats. Best Friend. <3
A quick update to the wonderful life of Lucy Chang, or should I say, an excuse for not updating the blog? Yes, it’s true, I moved out of my beloved little 500 sq/ft 1 bedroom to a spacious 1000 sq/ft 2+1 condo apartment. Yes, I have to share it with a boy (eww) but he’s proven to be a great roommate so far. He does all the dishes and laundry. He even made me breakfast with freshly squeezed OJ and dinner a couple of times. Oh yeah did I mention that my roommate is Kevin?
Anyways.. so the first time I tagged along with Kevin to meet up with Nechelle and Jivan, we established the fact that I am the Chinese version of Nechelle. That being said, you can probably guess that she is just a silly as I am, also just as lovable ~! haha We were only there to document the first day of their wedding extravaganza, and the day began with a lot of bling. Did I mention that Nechelle and I are really alike? 
As Nechelle was putting on the finishing touches to her dress, her dad popped in and you can see how proud he is.
Nechelle’s mom. Just as proud, but with a little waterworks.
Jivan anxiously waiting for the arrival of his bride.
Nechelle and Jivan, thank you for allowing me to shoot along side Kevin on wedding day 1. Remember to bring that goat curry when you come for our house warming!!
