Kristina's Testi


This is from Kristina, one of our happy client. got this from her blog in weddingbee blog site:

We just had an amazing experience with this organization. i am writing to express my gratitude to michael manabat of stealshots photography.

There we are in probably the most romantic and beautiful resort in cebu. The water sorrounding us. beautiful flowers everywhere. and the bride, so beautiful. I only hoped that this dreamlike state could be captured by our photographer. And capture they did. michael manabat and the stealshots team did not dissapoint. Now that we are in the states, my sisters photo is one precious memory we would never ever trade. I guess they are right in saying " choose and invest in your wedding photos"

to the stealshots team! kudos! thanks guys...till my own wedding! can't wait. to check out their website: www.michaelmanabat.com

Wedding Photography in Cebu

Wedding Photography in Cebu is a booming business. I remembered how we were just six years ago. We were just free lancing and doesn't even have an office. We used to meet our clients in some coffee shops. Until we decided to take that leap and go full force.

It wasn't easy. Just when we successfully manage one set back, another just pops up to take its place. Still this passion for wedding photography won over every humps and bumps we met along the way.

Our efforts definitely paid off. We are happy to say that we have made more booking by referal and repeat business from our happy happy clients.

When our clients are happy. We are happy. Cheers to happiness

Bohol Escapade

It was a very exciting sunrise, we were greeted with food immediately, sikwati, coffee, maja, buko salad ... and that was just 2am  :)  but before that here's what happened.

I arrived in Pier 3 just a few minutes after 9pm, after a loonng day of wedding pictorial. Found out Doki, Mai, Josef and Z couldn't come. Lao, Yoyo and Joshi greeted me with all smiles. Went in the terminal to check in. We settled in the airconditioned room in the boat. The three of us had hard boiled egg and softdrinks in a non-drinking no-eating room hehe and Lao is cramming to finish a presentation for work while watching BB. Pilipinas, we went out to talk outside. Yoyo and Joshi was having a Cancer Session :)

Anyway, we took some rest ... we arrived and went down excited to see Talibon ... :) The three of them took some pictures. I was just excited to see them take pictures under low light without tripod ehehehe ;)

Big bird arrived and it was the start of the our journey to his almost 2 acre under developed land ... anything your eyes can see is his ... ( duko lang ) hehe ...


Food came and talked a lot, sharing sharing sharing ... before we knew it joshi is getting his migraine and slept in one of the rooms in the house ... with all the 300 count mattress and pillow cases. We wanted to bring one each but we couldn't convince Big Bird. :) I think we even asked him to sign them for us ... hehe ...

It was around 5am when we decided to take out our camera and proceed to the a magical location in Bohol where the sky is mirror image in the vast open sea. It was one of the nicest sunrise I've seen. We took silhoutte shots. Lao took a dive in the slippery rock TWICE ! :) acting as if nothing is happening heheh ... at least the camera is ok. heheh and Lao can share his experience with a man taking a dump ... heheh .. Lao was taking a picture at the back of this man not knowing he was taking a dump :) went back to the car and joshi fell asleep.

After almost one hour of taking pictures, we went back to Big Bird's hacienda and was greeted with abundant food, fish, chicken bisaya, pork, soup and desserts for breakfast ... after we ate ... chikka chikka with the barangay captain, and we all tried to sleep for a few minutes, in the bed there was tickling involved and yoyo couldn't help but stand up and look for another spot hehehe :)

Big Bird had a full packed itenerary, i think we only slept for around 15mins and off we go to our first destination :) It was really hot and I'm not good with places but it was a big DAM. Took a few minutes of photos and went back to the car, it was really hot. I think I have a picture Yoyo holding the umbrella. Went to several places including Chocolate hills and went back again for a heavy lunch :)

The rest of the afternoon was spent in Big bird's backyard, drank around 3 bottles of beer ... and josh fell asleep. The highlight was Nap took a bath infront of us with his tight underwear .. I think Lao was drooling infront and Nap was inviting us to take a bath with him :) his CR is not finished yet .. Me and Yoyo was facing the other way ehehehe :)

After yoyo took a bath in his tight cycling shorts ... I think Lao offered to help him ? hehehe :) or not ... Anyway, after all these it was sunset and Yoyo took some great pictures ... just outside Big Bird's abode.

We had a dinner with Mayor and Congressman ... it was a quiet dinner for the four of us but it was great food .. :) pass the crabs and lechon kawali was all we were thinking hehehe :)

Went to the pier and talked for a while, joshi fell asleep first ... :) the next thing we knew we were in Cebu na ... on to plan another outing for the group.

It was a fun experience. Hoping to share some more experience with all of the members of the club.

Again, Thanks to Big Bird for being such a great Host. :)
