A prenup shoot that started under the arcades and ended on the Binondo–Intramuros bridge, with the Manila skyline doing the heavy lifting.

Starting in the old streets

We began in the arcades before the light got hard — stone arches, shuttered storefronts, the two of them working out how to stand next to each other on camera.

A couple in white stand apart holding hands in front of a corrugated metal roller shutter under a stone arch; she wears a white lace dress and short veil, he a white shirt and navy trousers

On the bridge.

The bridge

The Binondo–Intramuros bridge is all white steel and open sky, which is a gift on an overcast afternoon — the whole span acts like a softbox.

A woman in a white lace dress and veil rests her chin on a man's shoulder and looks at the camera, holding a white bouquet behind his back against an overcast sky

Last frame

We finished at a small shrine — incense, candles, and the ring.
