Rediscovering Intramuros and Hazel&Benjo PreNup Photoshoot

 I ain't getting married. I just rented out some of my accessories for this prenup shoot. (just so you know!) And it was an amazing, creative and nostalgic day!

An ex-officemate of mine, Leo, asked me if I could help him with his friend's Pre Nuptial photo shoot with the accessories of the bride, Hazel. Seeing this as a opportunity and a challenge, I gladly accepted it. The photoshoot took place in Intramuros. I haven't really went around Intramuros except during field trips in my childhood years in Fort Santiago (which is just a part of Intramuros), so when I came there it was like a whole new discovery for me.

Our first location is in Baluarte de San Diego, which is one of the corners of Intramuros. It is a really beautiful and cinematic place.



Hazel getting prepared for the shoot. She's wearing the Roma Amor silver necklace and pearl bracelets. Jerry (left) did the make up.

Behind the scenes. Leo with the photographer.. :)

Jerry, the make-up artist! :)

Hazel and Benjo are even game to lie down in dirt! :)

I didn't have much photos in the 2nd location, which is in Puerta _____. (sorry, forgot which one since there are a lot Puertas in Intramuros. (and yes, you read it right, it is Puerta.)
Kayo na ang in love! :D




The 3rd location is in Casa Manila. Really nice place!! You should visit this place!

Audrey Hepburn inspired look. Hazel with Roma Amor two-tone layered bead necklace and pearl bracelets. I also lend her my black cocktail ring.
Sigh, wish I have something like this in my house! :)

Totally in love!

Ikaw na girl! Ang haba ng hair mo! :)


Fountain of love?



Our videographer who gamely posed for us. :)

It is only here in Intamuros where you'll see the guards dressed as guardia civil. And he was willing enough to pose with the couple.

And the last location is this grafitti art area. I don't know which street it is but it's near the San Agustin Church. There was drizzle that day but that didn't stopped us to continue with the photoshoot. The concept for this one is cool, mixing the clean look of the couple with the graffiti art as their background.

We even got this guy to pose with the couple. :)

Galit-galit muna.. lol!

It was really a fun and creative experience for me. And I would like to thank Leo, Hazel and Benjo for inviting me to be a part of their Pre Nuptial photoshoot. And unexpectedly, I got to rediscover Intramuros and appreciate those places that was once part of our history.
