Pre-Nuptial at La Mesa Ecopark

by: Karen

We had our pre-nuptial pictorial at the La Mesa EcoPark last June 9; which surprisingly came in on a holiday (we thought the holiday will just push through as it is on June 12).

Lo and behold there were lots of people when we came in there not to mention lots of couples doing their prenup take, too.

So what is a pre-nuptial shoot? Quoting our photographer, Bern Mejias, it is the most "korny" part of the wedding preparations. You would actually pose or be candid showing your ease with each other, trust, and love. It is usually done a couple of months before the wedding and is also a good practice in front of the camera before the wedding day itself because it would help you be at ease with your photographer and in front of the camera.

After I had my hair and make-up done by Irene Manigo's team; Melvin (our friend and second photographer and driver at the same time.. :)), Bryan and his sister, Tracy went our way to Jollibee-Philcoa to meet Bern and his team at 230pm.

When we arrived, they were already there so hurriedly we went to La Mesa Ecopark. Like I've said earlier it was a holiday so there were lots of people and the weather looked like it was going to rain.

At first, we had a hard time to shoot because of the lack of natural lighting; but thanks to the light props and occasional burst of sun we were able to get a good shot. Did i mention I was nursing a terrible headache during the shoot? But I just kept on moving forward because we didn't want to disappoint our two photographers.

It was kind-a-awkward at first, we didn't know how to pose. I, myself thought it would be more like a serious not all smiles kinda pictorial. But I guess I was wrong because we had to smile all the way till the end. Ang sakit ng panga ko!!

The shooting ended at around 5:30pm. Our sincerest thanks to Bern Mejias as well as to his two assistants for their patience and professionalism. Our dear friend, Melvin Castrence who assisted us all the way, made us laugh and made every shot worth it. Despite him being the second photographer he still managed to get a very good and professional shot! Lastly, to Bryan's sister, Tracy who also took some pictures, assisted us and made us both feel comfortable during our prenup shoot.

For few pictures that our photographers already processed, kindly check our photo galleries. We will post more as the remaining photos are delivered to us. Enjoy!
