- I've never been to Museo Pambata
- I need a break from grad school
- I need to do something that I looooove to do!
My sister, Aprille, introduced me to the couple. We were running against time so all the pleasantries happened during the preparation (read: hair and make-up).
The couple was very easy to work with, they were shy and not the PDA type of couple but they gamely posed when instructed to do so. We were done shooting after 2 hours!
I chose my personal favorite shots of the couple. The complete set is on my sister's blog.
Date: September 2011
Venue: Museo Pambata, Manila
Photos taken and processed by: Aprille Araguas
Creative Director: Kristine Araguas
When I found these typewriters sitting quietly at a corner, I immediately had an idea on what to do with it!

We played with the typewriter concept
We had to make use of the stairs of the miniature old house exhibit...
There's a fake grass and even though there were kids running everywhere, the couple gamely posed and got the job done!
We saw this cute barbershop and thought of an on-the-spot shot:
This is such a cute church! I was inside the church while this photo was taken because I had to hold the door.
These candid shots were taken inside the replica of the human intestine. I was outside giving directions through the holes.
We had the train shot by end of the day because we couldn't find the proper timing where no one is sitting on the train.
Of course, what's a pre-nup shoot without the "silhouette of a kiss"...

It's very challenging to do an on-site concept shoot but I enjoyed it because the venue provided lots of inspiration. I've done and participated in pictorials before but this is the first time that I only met the couple on the day (actually on the set) of the pictorial so the concept and poses were all on the spot. There were no costume assignments or prior instructions or preparations.
It's a good thing that the couple gamely posed for us and it's a good thing that their official photographer was also accommodating and friendly. I thought I would only instruct my sister who's taking the candid shots, but it turned out I directed and assisted two photographers (amateur and professional) at the same time.
