For as long as I can remember, people have told me that I have great skin. Before you start hating me for saying that, let me go on and say that things have recently changed! I’m now living in New York, and I’ve noticed a HUGE change in my skin. Just a couple years ago, I’d get facials just for kicks with my girlfriends during girly…

Mr. Caramel and I are on opposite sides of the coast on our 1 year anniversary.  I’m not that sad, since we will be together soon in NYC, but I also wanted to share our anniversary shoot!

I had to pressure Mr. Caramel to do an anniversary shoot with me… I know he isn’t fond of doing lots of cheesy photos with me, but this shows…

Who really remembers cards and invitations? Well, ever since Mr. Caramel and I have started to pack for our NYC move, we realized that we have to trash a lot of sentimental things that we don’t want to forget.  One of the things we had to throw away were our wedding cards and extra invitations.  Since so much thought went into picking our cards and…

Almost one year ago, when Mr. Caramel and I were on our flight back from our honeymoon, we decided to spontaneously stay in New York city for one more day. This was when we fell even more in love with the city and felt that we HAD to move there one day.

Well…. that time has come! Mr. Caramel and I are moving to New York in…

I love Sephora.

Since I haven’t been posting as much, I thought I’d write a huge honka-monga post on one of my favorite places ever! I have definitely slowed down my makeup shopping since I’ve been married. I still wear makeup everyday, but it takes me about oh, I don’t know— a good 10 minutes to slap on my makeup and run out the…

A few weeks ago, Mr. Caramel, my parents, my sister and I went on a cruise to Alaska! We took the Sapphire Princess cruise and it was quite an adventure! We saw lots of honeymooners there and I was able to take many pictures and pick up some tips for any future cruise honeymooners. We went on this cruise partially because my dad used to…

I’ve been super MIA — so sorry about that!  But ever since our side wedding business has picked up, I’ve been saving more and more tips I can share with you all.  I’ve been to super fancy weddings and low budget weddings… here are some things I’ve learned in the past couple months that may be useful for you!

*Steaming your Wedding Dress
I personally paid a…

Mr. Caramel and I contemplated buying the digital proofs of our wedding pictures, and I’m so glad we decided to buy them! If you’re in the same boat and wondering if you should ever purchase the digital proofs, I really suggest you do it. You can store the digital files and wait to print them later on. It turns out that there are so many…

That was the name of our first dance song by Celine Dion! It took us awhile to agree on a first dance song– but once I heard this song on the radio, I loved everything about it! (Thank you 103.5 KOST love songs!) The song isn’t new but for some reason I had never heard the Celine hit before! The reason why I loved the…

In my previous post there was a comment about my bouquet, which was a compliment — thanks! I really disliked my bouquet, so I was surprised to hear that!  I’m sure it’s a nice bouquet in general, but it was nothing like what I had discussed with my florist.

Here were some pictures I had provided for inspiration:

Many of you have probably heard the saying ”it’s all about the Bride” on the wedding day.  It’s true that photographers mostly shoot the bride, and everyone only stands for the bride—but I say that these days, grooms care just as much as the bride about being involved in all aspects of the wedding.  Mr. Caramel was actually very involved in all the decisions we made—so…

One great thing that my bridesmaid did was take pictures the day of the wedding, so we were able to get some shots that the photographer was not able to get. I was grateful to have random unprofessional candids because it made me remember how the wedding day really was.

Here’s an example of how we got my veil to float in the air for the…

I stopped by one of my favorite stores in the world yesterday, Sephora, and I saw an ad for the Soolip Wedding event on March 30th in Los Angeles that Miss Cherry Blossom recently blogged about.  It’s $45 per ticket, but they have special discount tickets available if you purchase online here using the voucher code: “sephora”.

If you stop by any Sephora store, they also give away a…

Whew!! With my new job wiping me out everyday, I barely have the time to do any of my scrapbooking and album picking.  My photographer finally sent me the PDF version of our wedding album. I was really excited to see the pages and was pleasantly surprised to see that he had added about 6 more pages than what was on our contract. We had a…

This past weekend, two good friends of mine got engaged at Disneyland by the wishing well, and the bride had no idea she was being photographed through it all! It happened early in the morning, so they could spend the entire day celebrating their engagement. So cute!!
