It was a big day for me, i guess the fashion gods are smiling at me :) I am very much thankful to Puey Quinones for this chance. It was a dream came true to assist, have back stage access and to watch the show at the same time. Prominent Fashion Designers gathered to showcase their latest Bridal collection.

Disclaimer: It was my first time to assist a model to dress up and i was shock when she take off her clothes in front of me :) but it was a very memorable experience.
