Starbucks + Hello Tomorrow

There is such exciting news that is to be shared in this post, that my fingers don’t even know which keys to type first. I’m going to backtrack in time a little, back to this past summer, back to when Shane and I were freshly engaged. I’m sure you all know the story by now…it started with our first date at Starbucks…fast forward 10 months later and I found myself in a recreated, personalized Starbucks in the woods…with Shane on bended knee. And what came from all his thoughtful creativity was more than we could have imagined.

First project: love story video with the fabulous, wonderful duo of Hello Tomorrow, Erin and Maclean! Remember this post? Yes well, the timing is now right and we finally get to share it! Making this video was so special to us because it documented something so close to our hearts and I have a feeling it will serve as a reminder for years to come. A reminder of the first couple chapters in our story, and how we came to be together. And something to share with the kids ;)

Second project: Starbucks online commercial! Shortly after our engagement, a Vancouver agency contacted us on behalf of Starbucks about sharing our proposal story as a tie in with their coffee blend of romance, Verona. Needless to say, Shane and I were ecstatic to work with Starbucks, and the agency and Starbucks partners from Seattle were awesome to work with. It can be viewed here at starbucks.com or…

Third project: starbucksproposal.com! With all the unexpected and incredible feedback our engagement received, Shane had the idea to house it all in one place and that is how this fun, personal project of ours came to be. Many thanks go to our friend Justin for putting it all together. On the site, our photos, videos, supporters and more can be found. Check it out if you wish!

The story is to be continued, but to wrap this post up…our love story video by Hello Tomorrow
