Disney's Up Inspired E-shoot + Wedding

I've been liking Wildflowers Photography lately.  So soft, vintage, whimsical, and country-esque.  :]  Which is funny cause I used to be more drawn to sharp, bold colors.  She's also a Christian, I think.

I orginally saw this on Happy Hour with a Housewife.  It's an UP themed engagement shoot + wedding.  So fantastic.

I love the grape soda pin!

There are a ton better pictures I didn't post here.  So go look at them!!

                 

a new blog in the house

Hi.  It's been awhile huh?  :]  I think I will post again soon.

But in other news... I orginally thought it'd be silly to start a new post-wedding blog and was going to keep going at here at The Adventures of Alvina & Tim (previously known as The Adventures of Alvina & Tim's Wedding) but it seemed kinda weird posting about fashion and random things on there too! (Especially since... Tim is not particularly interested or involved with the lastest fall jackets or cute shoes.) :] So... I've started a new blog!  It's over here at The Orange Coffee Cup.

It will probably be best summarized as my ramblings (though hopefully not too many), musings, inspirations, and randomness.  (Wow, doesn't that sound exciting?  haha)  Come by for a visit.  :]

I've also imported all the random/fashion posts from here to over there as well. Anyway, I'll probably still post here once in awhile, especially if I find exceptional wedding inspirational things (like creative engagement shoots or whatnot) or if there is something exciting going on in our lives. :oP
              

3 months!

My dearest husband (hehe huz-bund, I have a husband!) surprised me with roses and a card for our 3-month anniversary!!!  :-D  And... I didn't even remember!  {{gasp}}  What a man.  :-P  I'm also usually kind of hard to surprise, so that was fun.  :]  My offering was that I tried to tidy up the house and dinner, Thai Chicken Fettucine, was almost ready when he got home.  :oP

                           

3 seconds!

Hello from Boston!

We ordered a 14' U-Haul online. Found out we got assigned a 17' (cause there was a shortage).

Then they said they didn't know where our truck was!  It was suppose to be returned in some town up north and the people said they did, but the U-Haul place had no record of it. Fabulous.  So Tim's mama (as well as the rest of us) called around and managed to find a cancellation.  We were sure the chances of U-Haul getting us out of town anytime soon was slim, so we took it.

Behold...

... the massive 26' Penske.  (Source)

Yes, a 26 foot truck with WAY more room than we needed.  But it was a truck, it transported our stuff to Boston, James (Tim's brother who drove it the whole way) didn't hit anything or anyone, and Tim got to his first day of work with 1.5 days to spare.  God is good.  :]

       

wedding video

My friend, Kevin from college, recently got into videography and I convinced him he volunteered to film our wedding and make a highlights video.  Initially, I really just wanted to capture the ceremony, vows, procession, etc on video, especially since I don't get to see most of the procession and I was thinking of a million things during the ceremony (oh wait, you weren't?), so I asked my Uncle Ken to film the ceremony for me.  Kevin's video is definitely more of a highlights video, which awesomely sums up the day in 5 minutes (perfect for my attention span  :oP), and great for those who couldn't attend the wedding.  It rocks.

Be wowed:

Let me know if you're looking for an affordable videographer in the SoCal area.  ;]   He's just starting out so I'm sure he can cut you a great deal.  (Right, Kevin?  haha)


Our pro pics arrived TODAY.  We just looked through all 497 of them.  I will share as soon as I can sort of figure out which ones of the 497 I want to share.  :-P
