Nico and Jolly

September 18, 2009 - It was a rainy friday afternoon when the Cinematic Concepts team met up for the first time with Nico the groom and Jolly the bride for their pre-wedding photo shoot. Also known as "prenuptial" photo shoot, the team usually spends time a few hours before the set time of the photo shoot to get to know the couple more.

The meeting place was at Serendra, The Fort. Our goal for the day was to take great scenic shots of the couple at the famous Heritage Park in Taguig. Technically it is a cemetery, but visually it offers so much more!

It is also a very good place to go for a sunset airplane watching. At first we almost were not able to continue shooting when the park's security asked us for a formal permit to shoot. Good thing that the couple had relatives who knew relatives that were actually buried at the location.

The Heritage Park is located in Fort Bonifacio Global City. It is situated near McKinley Hills and two other cemeteries—the Libingan ng mga Bayani (a national cemetery of heroes) and the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial.

Last awesome shot before we call it a day! This one at the bridge road crossing the huge man made lagoon found at the center of the park.

The couple's wedding was originally set for Saturday, September 26, 2009. The day Typhoon Ondoy ravaged the metro. The bride and groom had no choice but to re schedule the wedding the following monday. 

Held at the Mary Help of Christians Church, also know as Don Bosco Church. The couple's friends and relatives and even wedding suppliers all had their individual stores to tell about how they were affected by the recent typhoon.
