Welcome to Carmen, Bohol, home of the world-famous Chocolate Hills!
With more than a thousand hills spread over an area of more than 50 square kilometers, these hills that resemble chocolates especially during summer when the green grass turns brown make for one breathtaking and awe-inspiring appreciation of God's truly amazing wonders.

Surprisingly, despite its beauty, potential and fame, the Chocolate Hills haven't been on top of the mind when it comes to choice of locations for destination weddings' prenup photo & video sessions.

Just imagine capturing the engaged couple's most romantic moments with the Chocolate Hills as the perfect backdrop, the blue azure skies as the canopy & the gentle breeze providing the petfect rustic ambience!
So what would convince potential clients, tour operators & wedding planners to make a go for the Chocolate Hills as one of the best choices for prenup sessions?
THE CHALLENGE The BES. Ph team assigned with the Chocolate Hills challenge faced the daunting task of organizing an outdoors- themed prenup photo & video session that would have the Legend of the Chocolate Hills as inspiration for the prenup mood board.

CREATIVE COLLABORATION A lot of research went to the design of the wardrobe and the use of accessories. With the local Bohol folklore as focal point for the story board will give it a unique romantic flair that is distinctly Boholano. In addition, the team sourced out materials and aesthetics that are reflective and identified with the colors, sounds, flavors, textures & artistic flair uniquely Boholano.

PRENUP STORY BOARD The proposed mood board for the prenup session was based on the legend and presented in five sequences.
Just like the other famous ill-fated lovers in history such as Romeo & Juliet, Jack & Rose of Titanic and Samson & Delilah, Arugo and Aluya didn't end up in each other's arms thus a twist has been added to the ending.
THE TWIST
Because love transcends time & place, the creative team gave Arugo and Aluya the elusive happy ending to their tragic love story thus a prenup session that is romantic and inspiring for all engaged couples.
The Carmen photo & video shoot was one of four Bohol locations that were included in a Department of Tourism campaign that would help promote the beautiful island paradise as a destination wedding location.
A core team of the country's leading wedding & event planners led by Themes & Motifs, the Philippines' most trusted event professionals were on hand to provide feedback and conducted a capacity- building workshop for BES.Ph, Bohol's biggest aggrupation of event planners & suppliers.
Special thanks to the Bohol Federation of Travel and Tour Operators (BOFETTO) for lending their expertise and for facilitating the visit of the group.
