Some love stories are best told in the most natural way—and for Noel and Mara, that meant sandy toes, salty air, and laughter under the rain in a place that feels like home.
La Union was a no-brainer for their prenup shoot. It’s where Mara spent many of her childhood days, where she fell in love with surfing, and where she and Noel often ran to for quick escapes and music-filled weekends.
So when it came to picking a spot for their shoot, they simply followed their hearts straight to their favorite café, Kanai Coffee House, and the quiet beach right in front of it.
They didn’t come with a rigid plan. Just good vibes, their personalities in tow, and the intention to keep things real. “All we knew was that we wanted it to be us,” they said; and it really showed.
The photos are warm, carefree, and wonderfully unscripted. From sharing laughs over coffee to dancing in the rain when a sudden downpour caught them by surprise, each snapshot feels like a slice of who they are.
