Prenuptial in the making: Lex & Cathy 
(BTS: Behind the scenes)

I’ve been wanting to post Lex & Cathy’s prenuptial behind the scenes for quite some time after our pictorial in China. I had to refrain myself from posting the BTS (behind the scenes) for months so nobody would see until their wedding day so it would be extra special. I’ve known Cathy for some time since I started my make-up career then we became good friends overtime. I got to know more of Cat when she studied dentistry (specialty) in Hong Kong. I would stay at her place when I frequent to HK.  I would literally just show up at her doorstep.

As tedious as it seemed it didn’t feel like work, seemed organic and spontaneous. Cat and Lex were a natural, very accommodating and sweet. She braved the rocky plains, cold current, and no fuss about changing her clothes. I got to know more of Lexington, they were very supportive of each other. As he eased in to the groove and later on even asked for more. Overall it was an enjoyable trip! It wouldn’t be possible w/o the lead of Pat Dy and his wife Pauline. Congratulations Lex and Cathy!
