Prenup Pictures

Hello everyone!.. I've been missing for quite a long time because my wedding is just few weeks from today.. 3 weeks to be exact and I am still occupied by work on weekdays, wedding preps at night and on weekends.  I couldn't actually start composing blogs anymore.  I am happy that I arrived in the office so early today and still have some little time to blog.

I just want to share some of our pre-nuptial pictures taken last November 17 in Intramuros, Manila. We've gone a lot of stress getting a permit and almost gave the place up because of the crazy requirements of the Intramuros Administration.  I still chose the place because it was where our love begun and it is in sync with our theme... Vintage.

I highlighted the basic requirements and they're seem easy to accomplish. Submitting a letter of request is not really a problem, we can only choose for 3 locations and specify them to the letter, we chose:  Casa Manila Patio, San Diego Gardens and Fort Santiago, the couple should not forget to both sign the letter.  P2000 peso for the pictorial fee is expensive but manageable, but either of the couple should pay this amount to the Intramuros Admin office and get the permit.  Ang hassle kasi you need to spare time pa just for this permit.

On the day of the shoot, we started in Fort Santiago.

Fort Santiago (SpanishFuerte de Santiago TagalogMoog ng Santiago) is a citadel first built by Spanish conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpifor the new established city of Manila in the Philippines. The defense fortress is part of the structures of the walled city of Manila referred to as Intramuros ("within the walls"). Source: Wikipedia

To our dismay, we were only allowed to take pictures within the gate of Fort Santiago.  The reason that they gave us was because Fort Santiago was sacred... What?!!! If only they know I spent 5 years in Intramuros for college and Fort Santiago was just our TAMBAYAN and practice area whenever we had dance or presentations in school. I also wanted take picture with Kalesa, pero bawal din, naman! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Good thing, our photographer, Sir Chito Ignacio is very artistic and has really an eye for good views. It's a matter of framing the areas where we thought there's nothing to see.  So here are some of the photos:





Then, In Casa Manila Patio

Casa Manila is a museum in Intramuros depicting colonial lifestyle during Spanish colonisation of the Philippines.
The museum is the imposing stone-and-wood structure circa 1850, one of the grand houses in Barrio San Luis (one of the four original villages) of Intramuros is located across historic San Agustin church and bounded by Calle Real, General Luna, Cabildo and Urdaneta streets. The other two are the Los Hidalgos, circa 1650 and Cuyugan Mansion, circa 1890.
Casa Manila is a copy of a 1850’s San Nicolas House that was once located in Calle Jaboneros. The architect and urban planners of IA was Ramon Faustmann.[2][1] It was constructed by Imelda Marcos during the 1980s and modeled on Spanish colonial architecture.[2]  Source:  Wikipedia





And in San Diego Gardens






We finished the photoshoot in time... 12noon, we needed to wear shades because the sun decided to shine so hot and bright on that day.  I just got the copy of the pictures last Saturday and we are happy with the results .... and I still love Intramuros.

Special thanks to my make-up artist Teajay Nonato and his sister for my hair and Sir Chito Ignacio for the beautiful photos. Mahirap pala maging models pero the experience was so much fun!  We really had a great time. ^_^

    1. dapat di na mahirap para sa inyo kasi dun yung venue nyo dati... pero sobrang limited talaga yung areas na pwede mag shoot, kaasar lang.. puro bawal po dyan at pati kalesa bawal? di pa naman pa ako nakakasakay ng kalesa kaya medyo nalungkot ako nun. hahaha!
