I have not done laguna or alabang area but I have shot in San Benito Farm in Batangas. Beautiful place. I have also shot in Ponderosa in Tagaytay (need to be a resident there to photograph or be endorsed by a resident) if there are parks in Alabang, I am sure that you can take photos there provided again that it is endorsed by a resident.

If your sister and her fiance are nature trippers, Kinabuhayan Cafe might be nice? No charge to you, Ace. :)

If you leave early, there won't be any traffic and you'll get the sunrise with mountains in the background.

Leandro,

If you know someone who is a member of Ayala Greenfiled Estates in Calamba, that place would be very good. They have very beautiful gardens, poolsides and spectacular views from the slopes of Mt. Makiling.:)

Good luck!

I would suggest, you let them choose the place. Something that has meaning to them since this will be a keepsake. And will be shared to everybody from friends, to children, to grand children.


Just my 2 clicks. :)

both of them are in the US, and are very busy to go back here in the Phils jst to look for a pre-nup location

they'll be coming home from the US just to have a church wedding then go back to the US after a few weeks.

Ayos! Magpadala ka na ng 70-200L! (Great! Have them bring you a Christmas present!) :Grin:

Ahhhh ok, so I guess it is your job too. :)

Just like Winston said, Ask for "THE" tip/christmas present.:Grin:

Good luck Leandro. Happy hunting and shooting.

if you know someone from Montecito in Laguna or Sta Elena Golf and country club, they have nice locations for a pre nup

I need help! If I could convince a couple planning their wedding to pick a certain location in the Philippines, where would you suggest? Please keep in mind they will have to fly in their families and friends so location, amenities, cost, etc. are things to consider. Thanks!

If they want a beach wedding... palawan and boracay are hard to beat.

Logistics are relatively not that difficult to arrange (compared to 5 years ago).

A bit pricey though....

I suggest Bohol for a beach wedding also...really lovely place!

I agree with Uncle Basil, Bohol particularly Bohol Beach Club resort is one of the best for beach weddings and value for money resort. Boracay is just too busy for any private weddings.

Cebu. Beach, city, hills. Easy to go to. Discount fares all year round. Nice hotels. Haven't been there though:P

Hi! well.. im getting married this december. we chose tagaytay. good weather, climate/ not so far from manila.. but you won't lose the feeling of a destination wedding. We are getting married at the scenic Caleruega church. :)

If it is a wedding...nothing beats Intramuros or Fort Santiago!( economical too):)

If the couple can get a member to sponsor, I would say Punta Fuego... :)

yep yep! Bohol is VERY undermarketed (if there is such a word) :)

very beautiful place.
very friendly people.

Pagudpud would be another choice. I took this last month during the wedding of my friend Tofi.

THANK YOU for all the suggestions!

Palawan looks amazing (just from a quick google search)! Any pics to share? Looks like airfares are not cheap, but the accommodations are very reasonable there.

Boracay is a great choice to but a quick google search showed countless "Inns" - is it a big tourist trap? I agree with Gurney that it might be busy. Pics looks very much like Hawaii or Tahiti - beautiful.


Bohol seems kind of far from the international airport and kind of near the terrorists? Another gorgeous option though. Any thoughts?


Tagaytay, Punta Fuego and Intramuros looks to be the easiest logistically, but any pics or weddings there? I haven't been to PI since '91 so is the traffic getting out of Manila better now?


Pagudpud looks amazing! But how far of a drive would that be from Manila? That might be a really nice trip for me to stop by Ilocos Sur on the way.

best place i think is Aman Pulo

http://www.amanresorts.com/amanpulo/home.aspx - here is its link.

But I think it will cost a fortune. :)

Hi Guys,

Where do you think is the best place here in NCR to shoot weddings or prenups? :)

Sample pictures will be appreciated :)

Thanks.

First, for weddings, 'best' is the couple's choice, not the photographer's. So wherever they choose to be tied, that's the 'best' place for them. Second, for prenups - as I said before, BEST will depend on the concept. I think there's a similar thread on this one.
