Arlene and Jhoman chose modern vintage as their wedding's theme, and they wanted their engagement session to echo the same concept. The Singapore-based couple decided to keep their shoot simple, but doing so didn't make their photos any less charming.

The couple brought in photographer Josephine Sicad-Minerva to capture their fun day together. Arlene and Jhoman posed in spots around Singapore: Seletar, Haji Lane, Labrador Nature Reserve Park, and Yishun Park. The team was able to shoot in all the locations for free. Shares the bride, "Your prenup shoot does not have to be expensive to be beautiful. Dig through your stuff, and you just might find some pretty interesting things there."
