Collaboration: The Run away Bride

-

 

Seven years ago, when I conceptualized the idea of a photoshoot for a bride. It was for a runaway bride who breaks away from the traditional lovers' prenuptial photoshoot and defies the rules and tenets of a photoshoot while wearing the traditional wedding dress; however, it did not materialize because no one fit with my idea. It was put on hold for seven years.

Fast forward to 2024, when I finally put everything into action with the help of my friend and co-photographer from San Pascual, Batangas, who agreed to my idea. Afterward, I contacted my designer friend from Cabuyao, Laguna, and discussed the shoot details. She said yes and created not one but two wedding dresses. A meeting was set to meet the model and her mother to discuss the details of the shoot, including schedule, time, and place, as agreed.


The date is set for Sunday, September 29, 2024. On Friday night, I packed my bag with my camera and extra shirts to ensure I would not miss anything. I double-checked the things I needed before going to bed. Saturday is a big day for us.


We will meet in Turbina Laguna with my co-photog, Rolly Salenga, who arrived early at the meeting place at the 711 store. I ordered coffee to awaken my senses and calm my sensory perception so that my brain would focus on getting the desired results and details of the output per se.

On the way, we bought a fresh flower to be used as props, the lady could not help but ask a question if Ninna was the bride and I said Yes, she couldn’t believe what she had heard and I replied, that the flower that we are going buy is for a photo shoot and not the actual wedding, the lady is relieved thinking that the bride is too young to get married. 


   After a few hours of driving, We had breakfast in ISKARGU located at 58JJ+36R, National Hwy, Calauan,           Laguna. Rose Dee, Ninna, and Rolly pose before breakfast is served.

    The Runaway Bride concept shuns away from the traditional bride shoot that always depicts romance, sweetness, and marriage life showcasing eternal love and eternity. Runaway Bride showcases the lost love, struggles, and heart-breaking story to be told, an indelible pain that resides in her heart and mind. Unrequited and unreciprocated love.
