Be sure to check part 1 of this 2-part Cappadocia series of Anne and Don. There are so many things to talk about today’s Cappadocia pre-wedding shoot feature: about how great it is to be back shooting here again, about how we had some interesting ideas from the previous trip that we were able to execute this time around, about how this amazing place just never gets old, and many many other things. But the best thing about today’s feature of this Cappadocia engagement session is that mere descriptions don’t give it justice. We have a breathtaking set of photos and a wonderful behind-the-scenes video that will not only show you how unique this experience is, but also take you there, exactly where the heart of the action took place. From the Cappadocia hot air balloons, to the primitive stone churches, and all the beautiful spots this part of Turkey has to offer, we made sure that we show what Cappadocia is all about, and more. Very grateful to Anne and Don for letting us experience Cappadocia once again. Enjoy. ____________ Suppliers: Photo: Oly Ruiz Make-up: Mark Qua Styling: Adrianne Concept

Metrophoto recognizes the value of being unique. That’s the reason we purposely almost never do the same location twice, especially in prenup shoots. If ever we have to, the next one should be obviously different than the first. But there is a location that we cannot help but shoot often. Be it because it’s just really a client favourite or maybe our own favourite, shooting in the Shibuya crossing has been an anomaly of sorts. We’ve shot here almost ten times and we’ve accepted that there will always be a next one. Late last year, we found ourselves in the world’s busiest crossing yet again – shooting and of course, well, crossing. This time it was Nicole and Kurt who we brought for some Shibuya magic. All of the shoots we had here are very different from one another, whether it’s from a different angle, time of day, poses, etc. nothing is ever close to the others. For today’s feature, we got a little help from above as it was pouring heavily while we had the shoot – something that brought a nice little mood to everything. I’m sure you’ll appreciate what we mean when you see the photos in this post. We, in the meantime, appreciate how Nicole and Kurt worked patiently with us not only in this wet Shibuya set but although out their Japan pre-wedding shoot – which, after a usual repeat of a location, the rest of the sets we got to shoot somewhere unique. Please, […]

The smell of the green grass, the touch of sunlight, and the sight of blue skies greeted us as we got underway for Kaye and Janus’ pre-wedding shoot. But most of all, it was the imposing view of the Pillila windmills that got us all exciting. Not more than just a couple of hours away from Manila, there stood such giants that made an already beautiful landscape, an even more exceptional one. It was somewhat hard to imagine how I was going to make Janus pose in front of the camera, considering that I’ve known him for quite some time. But when he arrived with his fiancé, Kaye, they were ready to slay it. Every pose was like a graceful dance. It was like watching them move to the rhythm of their heartbeat. I could feel their connection in every shot. Little instructions were needed, just more clicks of the camera. Having that vintage combi van was also a nice touch to how chill and beautiful these two and their shoot were. But it doesn’t stop there. Kaye, in particular, was full of charming energy that despite having no stylist at the last minute, she was able to improvise by choosing and doing the pullout the clothes herself. Janus, meanwhile, got the drinks and van ready. Regardless of that small hiccup and the last-minute change in venue, we finished in quite a speed and with beautiful photos to show for it. Janus and Kaye decided to make the most out […]

While Anna Cay and Geloy are as simple and genuine as people can get, there was nothing ordinary in this prenup shoot that we had with them a few months ago. The government just declared a GCQ status in Metro Manila and Covid 19 was still very much a scare (it still is). We drove a few hours north to The Cabins in San Miguel where we can freely shoot and have fun. Being in lockdown for most of the year, we made the most out of being outside with nature and roamed the fields and climb a tree. I can’t appreciate Anna and Geloy enough for allowing is to be our creative selves and execute our vision – it was no easy feat but they made it a great experience out of it. I hope you all enjoy these photos as much as we did. _________ Suppliers: Photo: Oly Ruiz Make-up: Mariah Santos Hairstyling: Marvin Santos Location: The Cabin Resorts PH
