Singapore Brides- 1000 ROSES

~written by Cendi Micor

I ABSOLUTELY love this shoot which was done for SingaporeBrides.com. Zhang Jingna, was the talent behind this and was not only the Art Director but also the Photographer. She took the approach of making a dark, yet extremely elegant scene with models Julia Valimaki, Sasha Luss and Zivile Cibaite. The dark roses were able to fill an 18-foot wide backdrop.

This is an absolutely brilliant shoot and I will definitely be following Zhang Jingna’s work. Check out her site http://zhangjingna.com/

Memorial Diamonds

~written by Cendi Micor

There is no doubt that we cherish the idea of a memory being forever…immortal…everlasting. However, what about preserving someone’s memory by creating a “memorial diamond”? It is not a new concept but definitely, one that I, only recently heard of. Diamonds, made from human or animal hair and also from ashes. Could you imagine having a piece of a loved one you lost (literally) and having it made into a diamond you could wear around with you? Creepy? Maybe, just a tad. Especially the ones made from ashes? What do you think?



How does this work? The hair contains carbon and once that is extracted, it is combined with high pressurized heat and placed in a diamond synthesis press. They are apparently considered genuine diamonds, since they have the same characteristics of mined diamonds.

Life Gem was the world's first company to offer synthesized memorial diamonds but some other places to purchase them include the U.K., Russia and Switzerland.

Would you ever consider having an engagement ring made this way? Definitely someone to think about….

This post is long overdue but still a must to share.

Pearl Jam's lead man Eddie Vedder and long-time model girlfriend, Jill McCormick, tied the knot on September 18, 2010 in Hawaii. They already have 2 daughters together. It was an intimate affair of approximately 70 guests. The couple got engaged less than a year ago-he proposed to her after a Tribute Concert to Bruce Springsteen at the Kennedy Center in Washington.

Are you looking for a photographer? I am ecstatic to announce the launch of “Almost Married”.

Ciji and Jonathan have a real passion for capturing moments through the eyes of a camera lens. Located in Pickering, they serve throughout the GTA and surrounding area. Individually, each of them had a knack for capturing details and never attended an event without a camera. What started as a hobby for family and friends, quickly turned into a business as referrals became overwhelming. Having the pleasure to work alongside them, it is evident to see how much they enjoy their work and clients love their easy-going, yet professional personalities.

In honour of their launch, they currently have an amazing promotion!!!!!

Tattoos......Taboo?

~written by Cendi Micor

As a bride or groom, it is natural to want to look perfect on your wedding day. But, why are tattoos considered such an “imperfection” by so many people? Do you think this way by hiding your tattoos? I hope not.

I know some people consider having some type of shawl or cover-up for a Church ceremony. However, think back to your reasons and emotional connections to your tattoos. Are they not part of who you are? If anyone has a problem with them, too bad!

I can understand hiding them sometimes during a first meeting, especially in a business setting. I would never expose them while I work, considering that would be a first impression to all the guests. But hiding them at your OWN wedding?!? Your guests are those closest to you and your fiancé. They should be aware of your taste and style. Be yourself and embrace your ink!
