Prenup: Eliza + Boyd

Surprisingly, there's a lot that goes on in a prenup shoot. Before you can actually start shooting, like you have to think about what concept you want, the costumes and props to use and if that isn't already a lot on the plate to think about, there are also the factors you can't control, like the weather, temperature and props going 'pop' (more on that later). 

We were thrilled when we were asked to shoot Eliza and Boyd's prenup, even if it was a bit of a rush, I would say that we pulled it off nicely :) 

I would say that Paul and I are fortunate enough to live in a nice subdivision that has some beautiful spots for shooting, like literally just a few steps away from the house. We were so nervous because we weren't sure if it was going to rain, the dark clouds that were so slowly gathering were not a good indication. Just in case it did start pouring down we had a back up plan. Fortunately it did not rain and we were able to have the shoot ! One lesson we all learned was to use balloon props immediately, as they have the tendency to..you know pop. 

So, aside from balloons popping it was a pretty good shoot ~ because of the feel of the location, Taylor Swift's "Are we out of the woods yet?" started playing in my head and I realized that like everything else, relationships can be tricky and challenging but when you  get to the point where you are already planning the wedding and doing the prenup photos and all those fun yet tiring details, you know you made it and as someone who's been there and done that ~ it will all be worth it. 

Congratulations to Eliza and Boyd!

Kevin & Aimee

Aimee and I go way back in College. So we were really happy to have been asked to do an engagement and family shoot for Aimee, Kevin and Naomi, our Godaughter.

Naomi has always been very smart and at four years old, she's very talkative and inquisitive (in straight English, mind you) and is obsessed with Zombies, Ninang Ica could not be more proud :) 

We took the lovely family up a hill inside our subdivision. It was a beautiful afternoon and despite almost running out of sunlight we were still able to take lots of photos!

Kudos to Kevin & Aimee's team of make up artists, assistants and to Kevin's mom for helping out, they had props ready and this made the shoot so much easier :) 

We love the photos and can't wait for December - for the wedding!

Dev and Em's Prenup BGC Prenup Shoot

Definitely one of the highlights for PCheng Photography this year was being tapped to shoot Em and Dev's Prenup shoot and cover their wedding (which coincidentally is one the same date as ours-3 years ago ^_^) 

We met Em and Dev through our coverage of local music and gigs, in case you haven't noticed it yet these two love birds are actually from one of favorite local bands - Circa! So being asked to cover this important day in their lives is definitely a big honor for us,

As if -that was not a big enough project, the actual wedding would fall on our 3rd Wedding Anniversary! So we'd be sharing the same wedding date as them! There must be something about December 10 eh? 

Well before the actual wedding, of course we had to do the prenup shoot which was done around mid-October and through the couple's request we haven't released/posted/blogged about the photos :p 

Hence, waiting until the last minute before posting them ^_^

The couple asked us to shoot around BGC and it was a great thing that Sonja's Cupcakes (which is also their Wedding Vendor) allowed for us to invade their store on a Sunday morning- so to speak and and shoot there! ^_^  It was definitely a sweet experience- pun intended! So I would definitely suggest for future brides out there to check their contracts with their vendors or maybe inquire if you can have your engagement photos done at their shop!

It was definitely a good first set during our engagement shoot since Paul is always anxious about shooting in public and getting told off by the guards, remember that this was during the time when the whole Photography Regulations in BGC have not been settled yet but needless to say we weren't scolded by any of the guards (probably because we didn't have a tripod with us) we could have just gotten lucky but I definitely suggest that you guys check out the new BGC Photography Regulations before going out on a shoot :)

We definitely had a fun day at Sonja's cupcakes and shooting around BGC (going on Ninja mode to avoid guards) there are just so many beautiful spots to shoot at and of course Dev and Em were a beautiful couple and were a pleasure to shoot <3 

We're really excited for this project, as it is the biggest that we've ever tackled in our humble career and it is with overwhelming gratitude that we take on capturing the memories of one of the most special days in their lives :)  

Congratulations guys!

Vhal and Chad's Left for Dead Prenup Shoot

Val and Chad ready to kick some zombie ass. 

Just like High School Friends, the friends you meet in College have a special place in your heart,, especially if you were able to maintain the friendship even after graduation. 

That was also the case with our friendship with Valerie or 'Vhal'. 

Paul first saw Valerie when she was a freshman in College and they were both cast in the play 'Wanted a Muchacho' but since they were both taking up the same course (Computer Science) they got to know each other better and together with our other friend Jomart shared the same passion and love for drawing. Which is why they all ended up being part of the College Publication as Cartoonists where I also joined eventually as a writer and the rest is history.
