Who needs beach resorts? XD

December 17, 2009

For Imagine Nation Photography, shot with Toto Villaruel, last November 21.

So here’s the thing. Jet and Vien, who are getting married next year, January 9, 2010, planned to have their pre-nup in a certain beach resort in Batangas, a four-hour drive. The comedy was, Toto thought that we were going to have the pre-nup in Puerto Galera. Kind of far for a back-and-forth trip, right? Good thing he was wrong. XD After a delicious lunch in Tagaytay, we continued on our way, and when we were despairing of ever reaching it, we finally did!

The not-so-funny part was when we discovered that even though the couple’s contact already told the management of the resort that we were going to have a pre-nup there, the resort people asked us again what we planned to do. After discovering that we were gonna do a pre-nup, they said that the price for that was… wait for it… P20,000! HOLY! But wait, there’s more. After the front desk people contacted one of the managers or whoever, it was no longer P20K. It was now P30K. Hahahahaha… not funny.

I mean seriously, the intention was already stated. Why didn’t management tell their contact that BEFORE we pushed through with our plans, considering it takes a long time to get to their resort from Manila? Talk about inconsiderate.

So, annoyed, dejected, pissed, etc., we packed up our stuff and left. Thanks a lot you stupid resort, you ruined the trip. But thankfully, Toto thought of a place where we could shoot. Where this place was, I won’t tell you. XD But we did get amazing photos.

When we first got to the place, this was what greeted us. I take it as a sign from God, telling us that there is still hope for the day. Hehe. :D

We got there just in time to catch a gorgeous sunset.

We risked stepping on cow pies (and there were plenty, let me tell you) just to get this shot. Haha. XD

We ended the shoot with long exposure shots. Yay! Laying on the ground and trying not to move for so many seconds was all worth it.

So like I said, who needs you, you stupid beach resort? XD

Good luck on your wedding guys! :D
