In a world where everything seem modern and open, there are still things that most people would rather leave untouched and unspoken. But also in a world where everything seem different and in disarray, there is this one thing that’s common with each and everyone of us, and that is our capability to love as human beings.
As unusual as this post is, Im really finding it hard to begin the write-up about Vida and Arra. Although I may be over-thinking it or I may still be in disbelief on what this was all about and on how they specifically chose me to photograph them. In the end, things that look to be as vexed as this require a straight forward answer, and we go back to love. If for them it is as simple as the affection they have for each other that allowed them to be together no matter what the obstacles are, then there is no reason to complicate it even more. Love – it is what they have and it is what they wanted to share to people and for the very reason they want to tastefully showcase this love that they chose Metrophoto to capture it for them.
They both know that this is just the beginning. There have been challenges already but that is nothing compared to those that lie ahead. There will be things that, no matter what they do, they will not have any control of – like marriage and the acceptance of other people. For now, they focus on what they can influence and on what gives them the inspiration to go on, and that is each other.
Enjoy the photos and let’s celebrate love no matter what form it is presented to us.
Special thanks to Jo Ticzon (make-up), Don Donato (hair), and Cy Bree (styling).

The photos truly framed moments of affection that are otherwise shunned elsewhere. The ladies allowed the photographer to see what has long been left to many closets. This pre-nup is one for (history) herstory! Congrats to the brides. :)
very tastefully and professionally done, the photos.. and the brides? i am in awe at the raw emotions they have depicted in all the pictures.. really, no words can ever describe the work you have done! more power, sir! :)
wow sir this is really efin hot!!! I hope we’re not looking forward on you doing a man to man / gay E-session… hahaha….
Thanks Dee! well, we’ll see – I think there’s something that can be done there as well :)
You two are Gorgeous!!! Awesome and i’m so jealous
Amazing,,,,

this is absolutely amazing! i haven’t seen any same-sex, let alone lesbian couples’ pre-nup so tastefully done. Very classy indeed. Something I’d want for myself in the near future. great job!
I am in AWE of the beauty here on these pages. Each session I go to my draw drops lower to the ground. Dumbfounded by how creative and beautiful your art is. So very captivating. I can’t pull myself away even for one second to jump in the shower and get ready for my day. I want to get lost in this blog forever. The feelings you bring out of your couples are amazing. I am HUGE on emotion and sensuality and you KILLED it with this one!!!! KILLED IT!!! What a stunning couple!!!! May they continue to lean on each other for the difficult roads they are bound to run into. Let their love shine and be the focus of their path. Thank you for showing the RAW beauty of love. And bless your clients for allowing you to. I need to reach deep down inside for my creativity as an artist. You have inspired me to find myself. I need to let go of the side that continues to stay inside the box. Where it is safe. I must unleash who I truly feel I am as a photographer. And I have you to thank. xoxo
That’s really so nice to read Denise :) Thank you :)
WOW!! this is amazing.. I would like to have something like this someday.. ;)
