What Alexis and Arlene had in mind for an engagement session was a no-fuss, no-bells-and-whistles shoot, so we suggested doing the pre-wedding in one of the most common places in QC, since we’ll be doing a mini-food crawl afterwards near Tomas Morato. We think they really had fun with the simplicity and minimalism of their pre-wedding.
When we talk about Manila, what comes to our minds, usually, is the hustle and bustle of daily urban living. Gerick and Kathreena initially wanted an Intramuros E-session, but we recommended a better place, with a beter view, above the Manila Skyline – White Noise Creative Space. Afterwards, we took a quick stroll at the newly-erected Binondo-Intramuros Bridge. a healthy mix of Manila nostalgia and contemporary architecture, just like Gerick and Kathreena.
Christian and Nikki had us as their FOURTH CHOICE for their Photo and Video Supplier. We’re not really the 1st choice type, we know, mainly because of our shooting style. Christian and Nikki’s first choice was no longer available to shoot their wedding, ad they ended up with us, because of – you guesed it – the blog post about “How to Prepare for an Engagament Session?”, which I wrote. They’re the hands-on type of couple who really are into planning everything, and who are really looking forward to something different. Also, as per Nikki: “Mas magaan po kayo kausap kesa don sa 1st choice ko.”
Malate and Makati are totally close to our hearts since we wanted to shoot a neon-lit pre-wedding. Christian and Nikki made our dream come true, making us realize that our dreams are on their way to becoming a reality, with the help of the right people around us.
Fernando was working with a Manpower Agency in Makati, when they had an opening for an external job position, which Karen applied to. It was love at first sight – after Karen’s interview, Fernando then talked to his colleague about referring Karen to an internal job position instead, of course, with a little token – The 500 Php Starbucks Gift Certificate – a normal case of men, finding ways. Smooth, right? Karen got the job, and the rest was history.
It’s not our first time braving the streets of Binondo to make photos – I’ve been doing a ton of street photography and Binondo has been my battleground ever since. It’s not our first time doing a food crawl-inspired engagement session as well. But this is the first time we decided to put these two together, and the results are fascinating!
We had a good mix of sun and rain the entire day, but our team came in prepared – with our transparent umbrellas, for #WeAreRainwalkers. Here’s the full set of photos we did for Dom and Lenie. Who would have thought that these two told us that they are not the photogenic type?
Remember Nicko and Kristelle? Our RWP Couple who did their formal proposal during our pre-wedding shoot? Here’s their wedding story.
For a while, this wedding is our 2nd INC Wedding, and we really love how simply elegant and solemn their weddings run along. Topping off their wedding story’s when Nicko and Kristelle Joy drove to the reception venue with a top-down Beetle.
Erron and Ailyn’s Wedding is probably one of our HOTTEST Summer Weddings – literaly and figuratively. It was not our first time shooting under the harshest of the harshest heat and sun, but Erron and Ailyn’s wedding hit differently, as it was held at TOWN Farm, Tanay, Rizal. The sun was scorching, but Erron and Ailyn’s emotions were hotter and more intense.
Erron’s wait came when Ailyn went to a two-year community service for their church, and when he went on to propose to Ailyn – which was done during a friend’s wedding. Erron held on to two things, in these situations: one, his love for Ailyn, and two, the engagement ring inside his sock, ready to be pulled out for the proposal.
Reading their answers to the questionnaire, Nicko asked if he can formally propose during the pre-wedding shoot. This is something that we cannot just let go, since this is the first time we ever heard of this sort of idea. We made sure that everything was set up for the act, and when they changed into their second outfit, that’s when we did the deed.
