Toni Gonzaga, Paul Soriano and their Pre-Wedding Shoot

Metrophoto has just released the pre-wedding photos of director Paul Soriano and actress Toni Gonzaga! We asked Oly Ruiz, the genius behind Metrophoto, for what went on during the pre-wedding shoot!

When did Paul Soriano and Toni Gonzaga approach you for their pre-nup shoot?

Oly: We talked about shooting the pre-nup very early on. Our first meeting was several months ago.

Are you also doing their wedding?

Oly: Yes, Metrophoto is the official wedding photographer for the wedding.

What was the theme of the shoot? What’s the significance? Were there other themes that were discarded?

Oly: Toni fell in love in the character of the National Museum when they shot a TV ID for ABS-CBN there. It’s one of her top choices for her prenup shoot location.

What were your suggestions?

Oly: We discussed several themes including out-of-the country shoots but due to schedule conflicts we decided to shoot this one instead.

What happened during the shoot?

Oly: The National Museum is very strict with their policy and they didn’t allow us to shoot inside the galleries. But we made the best of the situation by making a gallery out of the places they allowed us to shoot. We prepared our own busts and paintings to create an in-gallery feel outside the galleries.

The shoot only lasted one and a half hours. That says a lot on how they are as subjects. Straightforward and a very handsome couple!

Any other inside kwento?

Oly: I love how Toni is such a Metrophoto bride. Up for anything really. We asked her to sit up on one of the posts and she climbed up even before we started preparing the stepper she could have used.

Yung solo ni Toni na nakahawak sa painting? It was partly to keep it from falling. Hehehehe!

And there you have it, folks! The scoop straight from Oly himself! For more pre-wedding photos of Paul Soriano and Toni Gonzaga, check out Metrophoto’s blog post.
