My cousin is getting married and the entire family is off to Tagaytay for the weekend, with relatives from Hawaii and San Diego flying in for the wedding. I made a bunch of wedding collaterals for my cousin including her wedding invites, tags, audio-visual presentation (which I haven’t finished at the time of writing– eek), wine labels, photobooth templates, and this Save the Date wedding e-card.

Save the Date

My cousin and her fiance are high school sweethearts and they took forever (10+ years, I think?) to get married, hence the copy. Below is the original photo I worked with (taken by one of the bride’s friends). It’s a very nice photo so all I had to do was make it extra pretty (that’s not a very designer-ish term).

Didja notice I photoshopped the bride’s arm in the final image? Hahaha… Okay, I’m not supposed to tell you that…

I’ll post the wedding stuff I designed for them next week, after I get back from their wedding weekend!

Gallivanted around Tagaytay last weekend with my family and relatives who were visiting from San Diego. We ate at a restaurant called Leslie’s. The resto had a roofdeck offering a view of scenic Taal lake with Taal volcano, the world’s smallest active volcano, sitting picturesquely in the middle.

I don’t get away from the city often so I forget how beautiful this country is, sometimes.
