Cebu's Pride

Couple of months ago, we went to Cebu for our magazine's launch and for a setup shoot. That's the time I first met this young Cebuano photographer who caught my eye because his features pretty much resemble that of my graphic artist friend who I call my babe.

I do remember sitting opposite him as I assess his face, I told myself "he kinda looks like a rookie." Banal pre-prod meeting went on as I continued to observe his gestures and listened to his response to the queries being shot at him left and right, he sounded unhesitating and indisputable. Snooty! I recall myself thinking.

We shook hands, bid goodbyes and headed to our rooms. Little did we know, this guy whom I thoughtlessly tried to read will become one of my coolest chums in the industry. Notwithstanding our distance, as he's Cebu based. We managed to keep in touch, crack jokes, reminisce moments and plan some more, all thanks to God's gift to mankind called social media.

Fast forward to yesterday, I snagged a deal with him. Two fabulous portrait shoots when we go back to Cebu this March for a very simple favor that we gave him.

Presenting.
The itsy-bitsy favor.
The works of my future wedding photographer slash friend Marky Cantalejo on Wedding Essentials magazine's January to June issue.

Apart from the Chinese supplement which I've worked on this issue, I would have to say this would be my second favorite. Partly because he did the photos and I did the text,  (LOL) but mainly because it's so regal and velvety.

I think this guy is really bound to go places. So just before you get rich my friend, do our portraits and do swear to give us discounts once we book you to be our wedding photographer. HAHA

XOXO
