Prenup Photoshoot: Anne and Kat

Kat and Mark

Anne and Kat are two of my brides who became really close to my heart. Like most of my GT brides, these two are easy to talk to and work with. There were ranting times, pressures/issues (hey! wedding preps bring out most of the stress of bride-to-be's), but they handle them with grace and composure. I salute them being hands-on brides (not demanding type) and I just can't believe how they can still manage to complete their DIYs. Applause for brides like them!

Anne's

It was December 12, Monday, and our 5th year anniversary. But it's a special for my bride-friend so I needed to allot time for her - early in the morning to do her hair and makeup --- correction VERY early! We agreed on 3:30AM!!! good thing, Anne and Mike (her husband) lives in Cavite as well. This is the only date and time available for the couple and photog so we really had to work out.

Prenup Location - Parks and Wildlife QC. So another question in mind was that, will the makeup stay considering the travel time, and even under the sun (nearly lunch shoot). Thank God, Anne's one of those gifted ladies whom you will really wonder, does she sweat? Her makeup stayed on up to the last shot and no need for touch ups. Another thing to note here, Anne's eyebrows looked great! From our first meeting (trial makeup) when they were only thin lines of hair, huge improvement (itago ang tweezers!).

Kat's

Prenup date fell on a Saturday and so I'm free! We were set to do a location hmu in Airforce Museum and Park which I thought was located far away somewhere in Pampanga LOL! It was a lunch to afternoon shoot and the weather that time was a big challenge. We had rain showers like every 15-20 mins but overall, nature gave us just enough time for great shots and if you see the actual photoes, you wont even think it was raining. The couple also brought home-cooked lunch for everyone, sweet!
