Prenup Shoot: Raymond Fortun Photography at Heirloom Manila

The recent weekend was packed. I flew to Manila to do a final fitting, meet with my coordinator, emcee and choir, and then fitting again for my best friend's wedding in December. The following day was spent for final food tasting and detailing with our caterer and the next day, a prenup shoot with one of our favourite suppliers: Raymond Fortun Photography.

I initially saw Atty RF's portfolio from a friend's Facebook page some years back and I was impressed. My fiance and I told ourselves we'd get him on our wedding. True enough, he was the first member of our dream team that we booked in a heartbeat.

The man we met at Heirloom Manila was not a high-powered lawyer in coat and tie with briefcase, but a cool wedding photographer in casual get-up and rubber shoes. He makes funny faces and imitates the Smurf, and is armed with two cameras. Don't ask me about the camera models. They just look high-tech to me.

Yep, it's Atty RF the photographer. Who would've thought that this funny man, the one who's covering our wedding, is one of the country's most sought after lawyers? When we met for the first time, we shook hands and he briefed us on some basic rules about prenup photo sessions. He shared a few tricks about looking slim and natural on cam. How groovy is that? The next few minutes just breezed through. It wasn't difficult posing for him and Zye de Guzman, one of his talented photographers. We felt right at ease.

We shot in this highly creative and "artsy" residence in Quezon City, owned by the renowed Engr Alex Juco and his wife, Paz. The house is filled with lots of memories from yesteryears with trinkets belonging to family members and kids. Mr Juco gladly gave me a tour while waiting for Atty RF and I was amazed by how well kept and creative he has turned the place into. It's like a museum. I love the place. It has so many corners that are picture perfect. The house is like a huge treasure chest!

These are some of the pictures I grabbed from Atty's Facebook page - straight from the camera, no Photoshop or any editing, for that matter. He will be preparing our prenup AVP and will be covering our wedding.
