Berlie + Marife Engagement Session

Berlie is my colleague who's going to get hitched by December 2011. I met her fiance Marife during an office trip in Subic back in January 2008.

Last month we had an opportunity to co-shoot their engagement pictorial session at Museo Pambata. I asked my sister to accompany me and do Marife's make up and share her styling skills because its kind of hard for me to think/imagine style the gimmicks/positions/props to use and-take photos and shoot at the same time.

By the time we arrived at Museo Pambata, the couple's official photographer was almost done taking pictures of them! We rushed doing the hair and make-up, good thing he is very accommodating and he willingly started from square one. *wink*

Here's the finished product:

The old typewriter was just lying around the area until my sister saw it and said she wanted to make use of the old school typewriters.

We went inside the miniature church and worked from there.

We wanted to have a playful side of the couple, so we really made use of the other mini-community exhibit of Museong Pambata.
