Pre-wedding or pre-nuptial (pre-nup) photos have become very significant in a couple’s wedding preparations. They serve as a teaser of the actual wedding and it brings out the personality of the couple. For the past few years, pre-nup photos have become more and more popular, not only with celebrities but to ordinary couples as well. But how far should a pre-nup shoot go in order to bring out the best photos?
Take a look at this pre-nup photo and figure out what is wrong with it:
A pre-nup photo of Kapamilya star Toni Gonzaga and director Paul Soriano taken at the National Museum has raised eyebrows as the photo showed Toni resting her elbow on what seems to be a national treasure.

Toni did not rest her elbow on a National Treasure
In an interview with Weddings at Work, Oly Ruiz of Metrophoto (who was the one who took the controversial photo) said the paintings used in the photo shoot were brought in by the team.
“The National Museum is very strict with their policy and they didn’t allow us to shoot inside the galleries. But we made the best of the situation by making a gallery out of the places they allowed us to shoot. We prepared our own busts and paintings to create an in-gallery feel outside the galleries.”
Fake painting or not, some did not take kindly to the idea behind the photo. The P Word wrote an article saying that the painting was taken for granted, and that Toni being a public figure should not have agreed to the pose because it was not appropriate. Toni resting her elbow on the “masterpiece” would set a “bad” example to anyone who looking at her photo. It would lead people who do not know the paintings were fake to falsely believe it would be okay to rest your elbow on what could be an irreplaceable work of art.
“Putting any part of your body ON the painting like that is not right. This could damage the painting either by tearing the canvas, or by melting the paint. The ignorant people out there will not know that she did it to a tarpaulin reproduction just to complete a shoot like that. And shame on the photographer for not knowing better. (The P Word)”
So, do you think Toni’s pose was inappropriate? Leave a comment below.
maybe si toni di na alam kung tama ba yung pinapagawa sa kanya na pose kasi baka overwhelmed at excited na siya sa wedding niya kaya ganun . di naman yan sinasadya .
