We asked wedding photographers among our FB friends to send us their three best shots taken from prenup sessions and/or actual wedding shoots. But before we present our top choices, we need to grab this chance to extend our appreciation to all the photographers who participated — both well known and up-and-coming – for trusting us with their choice images from last year.

Choosing only 11 photographs out of the countless sent to us was no easy task. Afterall, the photographers sent us the best very of their best. Few images below already made an impact on us the first time we saw them prior to this feature. Yet they still stand out among the many submissions. While more than half in this collection we only saw as we were compiling which images to include in this feature.

Our selection process is not based on any technical criteria. We judge them based solely on the picture’s ‘wow factor.’ You’ll be surprised that most of the shots here are locations just within the Metro. While the more ‘exotic’ looking locations are just a day trip away from Manila!

Without much ado, here we present to you our Top 11 choices for the Best Prenups for 2011!

To say that these two artists are creative is an understatement. “Cute ng wedding. Very Jolina!” said one comment when we posted links to the their prenups and wedding album in the W@W FB page (LIKE us up to get similar updates).

Mark & Jolina’s wedding proposal story . . .

If the scrapbook figured prominently during Mark’s proposal, it also served as the inspiration of their one-of-a-kind wedding invite.

And here’s their wedding onsite/SDE (same-day edit):

I was amazed with the artwork in this poster the first time I saw it.

I’m digging the vintage feel of it all. This was designed by artist JP Cuison for MangoRed.   MangoRyan wanted us to share this with all the abroad-based W@Wies who may be interested in having a prenup or postnup shoot with them.

There are only 20 slots available.  Checkout the poster and see if they are visiting a city near you.  Email mangoredstudios@gmail.com for inquires or to reserve a slot.

R&B princess Kyla and PBA player Rich Alvarez have been engaged since early this year when she got her surprise marriage proposal as she celebrated her birthday in a hotel last January 5, 2011. The couple have been together for five years and are scheduled to be married later this year.

A little over a week, the couple had their prenup pictorial at a beach in Batangas.  Charisse Tinio of Nice Print Photography emailed us a dozen of pictures of the couple to share with our readers.  Here are just some of them…

The player for Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters is the signer’s first and only boyfriend.  As for her dream wedding, she related this in one interview:

“Gusto ko traditional, ‘yong naglalakad sa church. Medyo may pagka-Filipina ako.  Minsan ka lang kasing ikasal, ‘di ba, kaya maglalakad na ko sa aisle….“
