Bacolod-based wedding photographer
Capturing moments as raw and as real as when they happened
ABOUT ME
Woody
Yep, that’s my real name — inspired by a newspaper headline my mum spotted right after I was born. True story!
Before photography, I took the traditional route — Ateneo High, IT at San Beda, graduate studies at La Salle, and 15 years in the BPO world. Then somewhere around 2010 or 2011 (memory’s blurry!), photography found me. I shot weddings part-time in 2012, went full-time in 2016, and never looked back.
Why events? Because people are fascinating.
Weddings and events bring out the best in people — real emotions, genuine connections, laughter, tears, and stories worth remembering. It’s one of the few places where barriers disappear and everyone simply celebrates love, family, and friendship.
If there’s even the slightest chance we’d be a good match, I’d love to hear from you. 😊
MY WORK
Portfolio
Years behind the camera taught me that photography is more than fancy poses and perfect portraits. For me, it’s about telling the story as it truly unfolded — the real smiles, genuine laughter, and heartfelt moments in between. Candids may not always be the “perfect” shots of the day, but they are often the ones that bring back the biggest smiles, the loudest laughs, and the sweetest memories years later.

Feeling so favored and blessed to have had the best team on our wedding day, especially Sir Woody and his team. They captured angles we didn’t even know we had. Recommended by our closest friends, Sir Woody created such a light and comfortable atmosphere, instantly breaking any sense of shyness between him and his subjects. He was incredibly professional, and all my requests were graciously accommodated. His team was an absolute joy to be with. Truly grateful for the magic they captured. Highly recommended! Til our next event.

Sir Woody, the guy who has witnessed it all. From our civil wedding of only 5 people in the room to our church celebration of 100 relatives and friends, he captured both our weddings in the moments that showed how special our days were. He is so professional, yet relaxed.
Would recommend him 100% to anyone for any event you want capturing.
Great guy who does a brilliant job! Thank you, thank you maninoy Woody!
