Our Prenup Saga

I so looove looove looove photos.. So I didn't realize that I'm planning for a lot of pre wedding shoots for us already..  And it will take almost 1/4 of our budget already! :(  Hence, I need to contemplate.. prioritize and snap back to reality.

Here's the breakdown of our prenups:

1.  Prenup with Earvin Paul - this is our trial pre nup.  Baby needs this, as he's not used to facing the camera and posing. And we paid him already, plus we've done all the DIY props and bought our costumes.  We have 3 themes with him; First, Valentines Day theme inspired by Simply Bloom Photography we found at greenweddingshoes.com.  Second, is a proposal theme, with baby wearing his proposal shirt, me wearing a normal dress.  Third, is a vintage sunset shoot at Changi Boardwalk.  I hope we still can push through with this and not feel lazy.

2.  Prenup with Ralph on May - Ralph is my University classmate.  Plus we only need to pay a minimal sum, so it's like a bonus for us.  No theme yet, but it might be a magazine spread theme, venue to be advised by Ralph.

3.  Bridal Boudoir by Rene Gaviola - Rene was booked way back 2009.  And so we're left with a minimal balance with him.  Plus he's a good photographer in my opinion and I've done my reserach with pegs of photos.

4.  Mini Movie by DLS - this will serve as our save the date.  I've watched a mini movie by Mayad and fell in love with it.  But we've paid downpayment to DLS already and they're quite good with videos, so we've decided to push through. 

5.  J Lucas - because this is included in the package we took from him, it's a must.  But we've decided to take a post nup instead because of the number of pre nups we'll be having.  Hopefully, we can pull up a Bellarocca or Boracay post nup. :)
6.  Sister's prenup - my sister volunteered to do a pre nup for us.  I haven't finalized things with her yet but I know it will be a great one. :)   This will be on May as well.

7.  Xeng's Prenup package - it's a good deal plus it can serve as a trial for us since she will be my hmua for the wedding day itself.  She'll be styling 8-10 costume change.  Inclusive of photographer Marty Ilagan too. I'm still thinking about it...

Ooohh gosh.. 6 pre nups.. I want to do them all but I wish we have time.
..and budget
heehee!
