Cleo + Rainier : Effortless

I'm happy to share engagement photos of Cleo and Rainier. Both are friends from Bulacan Letratista (BULLET), a photography club that I'm a member of. They are the first couple from BULLET who are getting married, so I consider it an honor that they chose WE among their photography friends to cover their wedding. It's an honor...and added pressure, but it's the kind of pressure that I'm all too happy to bear.

Cleo and Rainier are simple and fun-loving individuals, and they specifically asked me not to do corny poses - they would have none of it. They wanted a casual, laid-back prenup session. We had stops at UP Diliman (where they are getting married and my alma mater), a tapsilog house that Rainier frequented during his college days, a graffiti-adorned location in Intramuros, and a grassy lot in Bulacan. Posing for the camera is not a natural thing for them, but as the shoot went on, I noticed they just became more comfortable (you'll see). Truly an effortless shoot, maybe the hardest thing they did was to run for cover when rain interrupted the shoot several times. I bet they would agree with me. =)

Here you go...

Here's the Save The Date teaser slideshow :

I missed the crew on this one, but we'll get together to cover the wedding proper next month. See you
again, then. =)
