Well, literally, there was a storm when I shot their engagement photoshoot. But as we all know, relationships are not always walks in the parks, and it’s when people love more. Real love is choosing to love the person despite the rainy days.
Mario and Aika were college schoolmates, but their relationship started only after their school days. From then on, they were inseparable.
We shot first in Crisologo in Vigan at night; the team were prepared for the the thunderstorm weather reports (LOL), and Mario and Aika were okay to shoot under the rain. There was blackout in the town, but at least there was a restaurant with a generator, and one side of Crisologo had open lamp posts! Rain shot is a challenge, but I love how it can be sweet too.
The next day, the sky wasn’t looking so good and it kept raining the entire morning, but we were surprised we had an overcast for a few hours. Hence, we were able to shoot outside the Bantay tower and church, and a few minutes at the beach at Santa, Ilocos Sur. We capped up the shoot at the beach with a bang–strong winds and rain! And we got the perfect shot 🙂
