There is nothing quite like a
celebrity wedding to catch the attention of followers of the Philippine
entertainment industry. Nowadays the focus on such events might be intensified
due to the still-ongoing pandemic which can affect at least the wedding-guest
capacity or at most, whether it would happen at all. One of the more recent
Pinoy showbiz couples making plans to tie the knot soon are GMA7 talents Tom
Rodriguez and Carla Abellana. One new trend in these things is the release of a
prenuptial photo-shoot and video. Tom and Carla did both, with the latter being
quite the production.
The Philippine Star has it that Kapuso romantic tandem Tom Rodriguez
and Carla Abellana have put up their prenup pictures and video on social media
this week, just ahead of their big wedding day this coming Saturday, October
23. The video clip makes for great silent storytelling and generating warm and
fuzzy feelings with fans of the two. Directed by Bob Nicolas, the video is
available for viewing on Abellana’s Instagram page. The photo-shoot on the
other hand was done by wedding photographer Pat Dy, with some choice images
shared by Rodriguez on his Instagram.
Nicolas’ three-minute video sees
Tom and Carla inside a traditional Filipino home’s second floor, with the
former doing a sketch on the latter. Humor and heartwarming blend together as
Abellana proves to be a restless model, but Rodriguez perseveres until he
finishes his drawing of her. When Tom shows it to Carla, it becomes an animated
sequence of the two of them having a dance. The production credits then play
over a scene of the soon-to-be wedded couple strolling through an orchard, and
ends with their names together, of course.
As for the photo-shoot, it
features Abellana and Rodriguez in a variety of outfits, posing in what is
presumably the same orchard/farm where the video’s end credits were shot. Tom’s
selection of photos on his social media account does show the two of them in
suit and gown, posing on a church pew. He described the experience as being on
a Dream Team, which he is with his soon-to-be wife. Photographer Pat Dy concurs,
describing his work in finding the right location to take the couple’s prenup pictures.
He also thanked Carla and Tom for putting their trust in him.
To Tom Rodriguez and Carla
Abellana on their wedding day tomorrow, have our heartfelt congratulations.
