We were set to do the pre-wedding shoot of Tim & Jonas just outside the metro and as we try to do on all our shoots, we research and plan out the shoot before the actual day. I asked exactly how do we get to the location and how much time we needed to get there so I can give a good estimate on our shooting time. But sometimes, there will be curveballs thrown along the way that we have to deal with to make sure we have a successful shoot, to the best of our ability, at the end of the day.

This was the case for Tim and Jonas’ pre-wedding shoot. Even if we have planned out our schedule for optimum shooting time, we were met with an hour delay early on, even if me and my team were early at the meeting place. Then just as when we were making our way to the shoot location, a sudden downpour pushed us back another 30 minutes or so. This required me to be exact and decisive about every pose and spots for the remaining time we had left.

The reward in the end for me was that when the pre-wedding photos were shown during the wedding reception, Tim and Jonas told me they were surprised with how beautiful the photos came out despite all the challenges and unfortunate circumstances we had to go through during the shoot.
