How to Prepare for an Engagement Session?
Your Wedding Photography Experience BEGINS with your Engagement Session. How do you prepare for it?
Engagement Session
Benj and Kaye | Museo de Padilla Engagement Session
We were planning to have their engagement session done in Baguio and Benguet, but the pandemic hit us really hard, making travel a pretty big hassle. We waited until things eased out, but we did not settle for less – with them having a “Filipiniana”-themed engagement session.
Mac and Kate | Silungan Engagement Session
Mac proposed to Kate last December of 2020. Now, they’re on their way to saying their I do’s this March of 2021. A short but sweet engagement for these two indeed!
#TuesdayTeachday: Crisostomo and Hannah’s Bonfire Photo
Coming in hot (LITERALLY!), we’ll be checking out Crisostomo and Hannah’s Bonfire E-session Photo.
Tennyson and Rinnah | The Forest Barn Engagement Session
These two met in a very unconventional way – Ten was the lighting contractor hired by Rinnah’s father for their church. On a certain business meeting, Rinnah arrived in a yellow-green car, running over the gutter, towards the parking slot she desired. Rinnah was then introduced by her father to Ten as the “Most Reckless Kid” in the family, but Ten saw her in a different light – he saw determination in Rinnah’s recklessness. Well, first impressions last, right?
Matthy and Carla | A Subic Pre-wedding
Our Subic bride and groom wanted nothing but a chill engagement session, at which, Carla requested for us to shoot at a Ministop branch they own, at the heart of SBMA. With a few chips that got tossed, a few bottles of liquor and softdrinks that got took out of the freezer, we were able to pull off this one-of-a-kind session (And did I mention that I went inside the freezer to shoot?).
Arjay and Joycee | The Heirloom Manila Engagement Session
Arjay and Joycee booked us at the Weddings and Beyond Bridal Fair last January 2020. Our initial plan was to do their pre-wedding shoot last February in Singapore (alongside our vacation trip), but with the pandemic looming right around the corner, we did not push through. Back in Manila, we decided to do the “Earth, Wind, Fire and Water”-themed shoot at The Heirloom Manila, with Arjay and Joycee’s leaning towards architecture and vintage looks.
Milo and Prousel | Stilts Calatagan Beach Resort Engagement Session
Milo was an officemate of mine back when I was still working in the BPO industry. When I saw online about his engagement with Prousel, I was very eager to pitch the idea of us working together for their dream wedding. Milo and Prousel wanted to do the Engagement Session by the beach, so we suggested a ton of beaches in the South. We ended up doing the shoot at Stilts – a very common beach location, so we we’re challenged to take a different approach with this, but we we’re able to pull off an amazing set.
Roy and Mita | A Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen Engagement Session in Manila
Before everything dived into the year-long quarantine, one of the bravest couples we have ever met – Roy and Mita – went on with us to make photographs. These photos we’re made ONE DAY BEFORE THE ECQ.
Mark and Rachelle | Northern Blossom Flower Farm + Baguio Engagement Session
It’s not our first time making photos of “Men and Women in Uniform”, but this is our first time wherein BOTH the couple are members of the Philippine National Police. Mark reminds me of Resident Evil’s Chris Redfield, while Rachelle reminds me of Dino Crisis’ Regina, especially when they put out their firearms (mind you, they are LEGIT, and they are heavy). No lives were harmed during the period of the shoot. So here’s the full set of their photos, in one of our “Bucketlist”-ed locations; The Northern Blossom Flower Farm, in Atok, Benguet, and Baguio.
