Cha & Marco's Family/Pamamanhikan Prenup

Prenup by Joel Salindong, Gabriel (G3) Duyor / Studio Namu

You may have recognized Cha & Marco from our special feature entitled: How to Create a Rebellious Brunch Wedding. And because they already had that moment when they had a shoot all to themselves, they decided to create a prenup that included their entire family. The photos are so beautiful! And I love the idea of involving loved ones during the engagement session because it allows everybody to bond and it also allows everybody to practice for the actual day. After all, a wedding/marriage is not just about the couple but it is also a union of two families and in other cases, even a union of your best of friends. Doing a family prenup is also much more meaningful don't you think? And it exudes a certain kind of emotion that is more than just the usual prenup ideas we see today.

Cha shares:  

It was Marco’s idea to do our prenup shoot with our families, and then treated everyone to dinner after. Since technically we never had a “pamamanhikan,” this served as a fun activity for our families to get to know each other. And since Marco is always the one taking photos of his family – he is rarely included in family photos / group shots. So we ended up not just with nice couple photos, we had great family portraits as well. J

Clap clap clap for the wonderful family of Cha & Marco! Their Batanes wedding is coming up!!! :)

A Bride Idea from 4-Year Old 'Mayhem'

This is too cute for words! She's probably the youngest creative mind that we have ever featured for our Bride Ideas. Meet 4-year old, 'Mayhem' (that's what her mom calls her on social media, perhaps a pen name to protect her privacy..good idea!). She makes her own paper outfits. And she is absolutely good at it. Don't you think this could make a great peg for a prenup session? Or even as an interesting reception styling idea for a photo booth! Here are some of my faves.

Huffington recently featured her and how her mom allows her to hone her creativity. Read it here:

A Smurfy Prenup

Photography, Styling, and 3D Animation 

by Visionary Photography Hub

Today we are in the mood to take things to a more whimsical and happily rebellious level. A Smurfy one at that! Visionary Photography Hub is already the top-of-mind when it comes to photo sets that are on the kick-ass edited side. But when it's the couples who actually come up to them and say--hey we want a Smurfy Prenup, then you have a match made in heaven right there. We are just totally amused and quite impressed with how Jassen & Denise can have such cute sense of humor! And there's no other way to describe this prenup other than the fact that they wanted the Smurfs to be part of their engagement session. Smurftastic!

Hooray for Jassen & Denise! We can only imagine how fun your marriage will be! Cheers to you both! :)

Photographer Jervy Santiago shares: Denise and Jassen’s concept of fun was a total break of our leg. They wanted the smurfs to be part of their world. The real shooting was not a problem at all; the nerve breaker was the 3D animated design of the smurfs that we’d glue in their engagement pictorial.

A Cosplay Prenup

"It may take a lot of courage for some people to express their true selves. But for us, it's like being free and out in the open for the first time." -- RB Maan

Photography by Barry Millare

What better way to celebrate October than with a series of highly conceptualized, role-playing prenup and wedding ideas? We started with an Arabian Nights wedding, and now a Cosplay prenup! How exciting! Rebellious Bride Maan wrote a wonderful write-up for this feature so go ahead and be transported to the interesting world of an Otakus couple! 

RB Maan writes:

My fiance and I are both Otakus. By definition, an Otaku is someone who has obsessive interests --commonly the Anime and Manga fandom. If there is one thing that my fiance and I would agree on completely, it would be Japanese Anime and Manga.

As soon as we got engaged, we almost immediately decided that we will hold a Cosplay prenup. It will be our chance, and probably the only time when we can actually do what we were dreaming of doing from the very beginning. 

Luckily, my fiance's friend/photographer, Barry Millare, was an Otaku himself. He didn't bat an eyelash when we asked him if we can hire him as our photographer for our Cosplay prenup.

Our engagement shoot was undoubtedly fun! We are not your typical couple who likes to do traditional things.  Being like everyone else is just plain boring. We want to be different.

I believe that when you show who you are in front of the camera, the whole world will smile for you. If you show everyone who you are, all the smiling, posing and all will be effortless! It's like telling the whole world, "Hey! This is who we are and we are not afraid of showing it!"

I am just so lucky that I get to spend the rest of my life with someone who share the same passion and interest as mine.

So I encourage my fellow brides to not be afraid to do non-traditional engagement shoots. It's not a law that has been passed that you should do what was normally done in an engagement shoot. Be yourself and be confident for it will be worth it.

Rachelle & Nino's Collective Prenup

The rain has passed and now it's time to move on with more positivity and a dose of good vibes. There's not much to say here other than the fact that Rachelle and Nino were determined not to make their prenup the 'usual' and more-than-the-usual it turned out to be indeed. Props to the team over at Quirky Creatives for making this set look cool as opposed to downright grimy--which could have easily happened with the wrong photographer. Enjoy!

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! To view the complete set, CLICK HERE

Doesn't this set just makes you want to scour the town for new venues that haven't been used before? Do you have your own discoveries? Share it with us!
