My Clients Are Filipino or Pilipino mixed (Pinoy for short)
It seems that many of the Filipino’s are finding me to be their wedding photographer. Although, I provide services to everyone, I have had several clients who are mixed Filipino and did not know it.
I know for sure that my last name, BENIPAYO, is popular amongst the older Filipino folks. My grandparents use to own a “printing press” in the good ol’ days printing books. My father eventually got most of the itsy bitsy parts from the company when it went sour. Google “Benipayo press” and you will get result of old books printed by my grandparents. Another reason why my name is better known (I don’t want to write well known because it really is not well known but it is better known than some filipino last names) is that fact that an older relative (Alfredo) is an active politician back home. Last but not least, M a r i n a Benipayo (a cousin I never met) was a Binibining Pilipinas World in 1992 and eventually competed in Miss World pageant. She’s still busy modeling and a current super model back home in the Philippines.
I can only assume that my last name is a known Filipino (“Pilipino” for the hard core Pinoy) since there are definitely a line up of Filipino’s as clients who are hiring me or inquiring about my wedding photography or portrait photography services.
I am proud to serve the filipino (pilipino) community.
