Summer is long due and we couldn’t wait any longer for it to finally come! So just to remind everyone how gorgeous summer is, we have today the most eye-candy, summer inspired pre-wedding photo shoot!

Think of an exotic destination location — Cambodia — , a colorful set of attires and a fun-loving, laid-back couple who are too in love to be even bothered with trivialities that come with a usual photo shoot. What’s not to love, right?

Soon-to-be bride, Valerie, shares with us the inspiration behind their engagement shoot, “These engagement photos show so much about us as a couple. We love adventure, nature, art and history. These are the things that bonded us and brought us together. By intent, the shoot was done without the usual entourage of makeup artists, stylists and photography team. We didn’t have a script, no storyboard, no portrayals, just real moments captured real time.”

They went on various locations in Cambodia, capturing the rich art and culture of the country, and combined these with their good-natured spirits. The outcome is an array of refreshingly good photos that will make us believe that true love shines through!

Thank you Valerie for sharing with us these gorgeous photos as captured by your dear friend, Loven Ramos! Now we know how we would like our summer to be… fresh, carefree and full of love! Enjoy!
