Teracota Manor: Ariel & Elounie Engagement Session

It was my first time to shoot in Teracota Manor.  A pretty house resting nicely on a hill somewhere in Busay.  When the van parked, the first thing I saw was the cage of about three big dogs.  And then another dog named Boris greeted us.  We later on learned that she was the mother of the other dogs in the cage.  She wasn’t friendly but she closely watched us.  This shoot so far has been very challenging.  I can’t say most challenging because the shoot we did in Cotaboto city is, by far, the scariest and the most challenging.

Geoffrey suggested we do a set inside the house.  When he tried to open the door, the dog quickly did what it do best.  Luckily it didn’t get to bite him but instead its fangs got stuck in his shirt.  I didn’t know what to do.  I just stood there  frozen.

Sigh!

The crazy things we do just to achieve a certain look and to weave a story the best way we know how.

Here are some photos of Elounie and Ariel’s engagement session.
