Batangas province has been the favorite hideaway paradise of couple Ellen Adarna and Derek Ramsay.
When they were just beginning to gradually unravel the real score of their relationship to the public who—including the movie press—kept on guessing the truth about them, Ellen and Derek were mostly seen off-guard in the vicinity of Mabini and Nasugbu, Batangas either they were—if not by themselves then with Elias, the baby boy of the actress and John Lloyd Cruz—frolicking in the beautiful beaches of the coastal towns or eating and drinking in their fave bars and restaurants.
Aside of course from attractive natural beauty spots of Batangas high seas and sea sides, Derek is reportedly an owner of an exotic beach house in Nasugbu.
And what do you know?
Their pre-nuptial photo and video shoots were done in Mabini, particularly in Solitude Acacia, a breathtaking view of nature between land and seas.
Here the romance between Ellen and Derek was documented as a prelude to their wedding.
The shots of Bob Nicolas were indeed romance drama if only given a complete creative narrative of the love story. It was an intimate fusion of the heart and minds of the main characters in real life with nature as their witness.
Cool or “Zen” was how Adarna described the shoots and the forthcoming wedding although there’s no exact date of the event yet. According to Maria Elena, Ellen’s complete name, there’s no room for stress during her red letter day.
Well, the serenity of Batangas can testify and justify the stress-free state of the romantic affair if only the chief protagonists come to terms with the unique features of nature.
