In some very memorable days, I always get this feeling that stars align and destiny just bowls me over as something wonderful completely falls into place. Over a week ago was perhaps my most challenging prenup shoot to date as Mish and Nick asked me to do a spin of Serendipity and a sprinkle of winter-Christmassy magic on their engagement shoot. While it’s miles away from what I usually do, I was glad to oblige, since it’s also one of my favorite romantic flicks, being a John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale fan.

I could only sigh at how we serendipitously managed to pull off everything in just a matter of hours from late afternoon til nightfall. Also, as movies are practically shot and shown in film, Filmtastic™ just shines on this set, which is best seen with popcorn and Annie Lennox’ Waiting in Vain.

Just have to commend my dauntless couple for their fantastic effort in coming up with their own styling, props, and of course, the crazy, adventurous idea of doing a New York in Manila at this time of year :)
