Coco & Christian’s Magical Multicolored Up-inspired E-session

A few months ago I featured a whimsical e-session inspired by the Disney Pixar movie “Up”. Today we have another adorable shoot inspired by the heart-tugging animated film. Coco and Christian met when in school when they were children. Nothing came of the relationship then but romance ignited for them ten years later in 2009 — the year “Up” came out on the big screen. And just like the movie’s beloved couple, they want to take on the adventure of life together.

The gorgeous photos are courtesy of Manny & April Photography, whom you might remember as the artistic couple whose architecture-themed e-session and wedding I featured some months back. Enjoy!

The lovely Coco is here to tell us more about what made their e-session truly their own:

The idea of the shoot came from me and thankfully Christian cooperated (which is an understatement… he nailed it! Hehehe, proud fiancee…)

We feel like we can relate to Carl and Ellie’s story.. We met when we were young, in grade school to be exact. He liked me then and I liked him back though I didn’t show it. By some force of the universe we reunited again after 10yrs… 2009, the year when Pixar released the movie “Up”. We fell in love and have since been enjoying doing simple things together like having picnics while watching movies on the grass, armed with our favorite date food, Japanese siomai and gulaman. We embraced all trials with the same childlike excitement that we still have up to now.

Just like Carl and Ellie we are looking forward to growing old together, to take care of each other and to face our life’s “greatest adventure” hand in hand…. And I quote, “THE ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!!!”

Thank you April and Manny for sending your beautiful photos my way, and congratulations Coco and Christian! Happy wedding and adventure-planning.
