2nd Mindanao Photography Expo

I never thought I would become a model of a wedding photography expo! I don't even consider myself as a model! Hahaha! But what happened in the 2nd Mindanao Photography Expo was a blast and indeed, it was a very memorable one. My best friend Glorie asked me to join her in a wedding photo shoot in Abreeza. All I know was, we will just join a photoshoot with 2-3 photographers. Ambilis ng pangyayari at narealize ko na lang na nasa Abreeza na ako. Hahaha!

When I arrived in Abreeza, Ms. Roxie Dalisay from Hair and Make-up by Roxanne Dalisay already doing her magic to make my best friend beautiful. Ako? Anxious and I have a lot of questions about the event. When I realized na parang kami lang dalawa ang nag-aayos ng sarili, I asked her, “Bes, tayo lang ba ang models?” Sabi niya, “Oo bes, tayo lang.” Para akong nag #IceBucketChallenge sa gulat!

Then after all the chit-chats and preps, we finally met the speaker and strobist Mr. Alex Ruelo. And damn! He’s a cool guy! We had a live demo in front of like 50 photographers! Grabe! He asked us how to do this and that tapos picture sya ng picture. It was just awesome.

I really did not expect this to happen, actually. Thanks to my best friend for inviting me to her modeling world. To Ms. Roxie for making me look handsome. To Ms. Jenny Echano from My Skin Origins and Sir Allan Echano for the support. Ay grabe talaga. hahaha!
