It has been so long since our last birthday SDE. It's kinda tough to do a birthday SDE since there are not that much highlights and there's so much time pressure. But that's what makes it challenging!

Maia's first birthday celebration is held at the Garden Orchid Convention Center. The place was converted into a huge aquarium with bubble balloons cascading through the ceiling. The stage was decorated with coral balloons and colorful undersea creatures. We wore party hats that looks like sea animals such as penguins, sharks and clown fish. It was a fun-filled party and the undersea adventure was a blast! Check out the SDE we made during Maia's birthday bash!

The groom's family came all the way from Kabasalan to witness the couple as they tie the knot. Ghabbie is such a happy-go-lucky groom and Janice is a beautiful bride. Watch out for the very romantic post-nup shoot taken at the Zamboanga Golf course.
