Siargao Pre-wedding Photographer | Joan and Artom

If there is one place that people are so familiar about and yet they haven’t been to yet, I guess it has to be Siargao Island. This paradise could be the most Instagrammed place in the Philippines (yes, even with Batanes now having a 3G signal). Everyday I see Siargao in my feed several times a day and I must admit, these are photos I enjoy seeing.

Visiting the place for the first time, I understood what all the enthusiastic sharing was all about. First off, it’s extremely convenient. You get off the plane, take a half-hour scenic route via land, and you’re in your place to stay already, somewhere amazing. No other transfers needed – no boat rides, no unpleasant and congested routes, and no waiting. It’s close the convenience of Balesin, but here, every one is a member. Secondly, the vibe is raw and very welcoming. Everyone smiles at everyone and every one talks to everyone. Honestly, every tricycle ride we took, we felt the driver became our friend – they are that nice. Lastly, the island is filled with so many interesting and unique places to see and shoot. Yes, people go there primarily to surf and for the beaches, but there are just so much more. I am not exaggerating when I say it is a haven for photographers.

With this prenup shoot of Joan and Artom in Siargao, we only scratched the surface of the island. It has left us wanting to get back, and do even more. I hope that with this first installation of our Siargao Prenup photos, you’ll see what the craze is all about. If not, we have so much more of Siargao to Instagram. Enjoy.
