Prenup Shoot: DONE!

Yes! Just before Oct. ended, we had our prenup done. I honestly wanted it to be shot two months before but due to some reasons, it was postponed for a month.

We had our shoot taken at La Mesa Watershed in Quezon city. It was a perfect place. Secluded, serene and beautiful. Actually, it's a bike trail but photoshoots can be held there with request. You can't just walk-in.

I didn't know it was that big. A tour guide will be assigned to escort your team or else you'll get lost in the woods.

The spots I saw on a prenup that was also held there were freakin' far! It's 6km from the gate. You'll need an SUV type of vehicle to take you there. A car won't do, the road has high humps.

When we reached the location, we needed to trek for like 20-30 mins to reach the lake. The exhausting walk is  really worth it when you see the calm lake. Amazing. Our photographer Benjie Tiongco, had an occular of the spots that he wanted to take pictures at. Remembering the shoot, the sun was scourging hot. It's 3pm & our sweats are dripping while posing for the camera. But it was an adventure for me. :)

We had 4 locations at the Watershed. My favorite was at the stream -- super perfect! We ended the shoot at the tower near the gate. It was already dark, just in time for the lighting effects.

It was an awesome and fun day. All praises to the great mind, hands and eyes of our photographer Benjie Tiongco. He's really talented. We've seen all the pictures on his camera during the dinner after the shoot. Raw but not a shot needed an enhancement. I'm still amazed until now. Now we're waiting for the delivery of the pictures. I think he said it will ready a week or two before our wedding. Oh well.. I still have the hangover from the shoot. :)

Here's the only picture he sent us so we can use it for the photobooth layout:

Prenup Shoot Dilemma

We're supposed to have our prenup shoot on Monday. That's the 24th. Exactly 2 months from our wedding. The location we wanted is at PNR. Yes, the old trains near Divisoria area. We went there 3 weeks ago to inquire. Too bad the front desk girl didn't tell us to talk personally to the Admin staff. Thus, we were not informed a little earlier that they don't allow shoots on weekdays. We were told to just submit a letter of intent indicating the date and time we plan to have our prenup photos taken. We returned 2 weeks after because I caught a flu the following week. Tsk tsk. After submitting our letter and talking to the admin staff, Ms. Scarlet told us that they don't allow weekday shoot at any condition. The deal with it is that our photographer Benjie Tiongco has a full schedule of Oct already. The next free weekend is on the 26th of October. No problem with me and Kim. I just don't want to spoil his prospective clients since it's a weekend and he might get booked anytime. So we're looking for another venue. One that doesn't require a lot of ekek. Now we're trying to consider the Abandoned bldg in Betty Go Belmonte station and La Mesa Watershed. I like the Watershed more. I've seen an e-session shot there it place is lovely.
