Did you have a theme?

We didn’t really have a theme in mind, we just wanted to shoot at Joshua Tree and we wanted everything to be in nude/brown color which makes the Joshua Tree a perfect location us.

Tell us about your planning process. How did you put it together? How did you collaborate with your suppliers?

I did mostly all the planning. I did a lot of research on different vendors, reading reviews, asked our friends and inquired which one is best. With our situation as overseas Filipinos, communication is really important for me. We already knew what we wanted so we just needed to find the vendor that would be able to execute and give us ideas how to improve.
