The adage "Big things come in small packages" holds true for Wally Gonzales, not the 70’s rocker but the diminutive photographer with a smiling face and a truly down-to-earth disposition who makes weddings rock.
This year, Wally Gonzales celebrates his silver anniversary as a professional photographer with a wide collection of impressive wedding memories under his belt. Wedding Photographer Wally Gonzales shines bright as soon as he begins to talk about his craft with utmost credibility and enthusiasm. Wally Gonzales is among today’s in-demand wedding photographers who count as clients some of Manila’s elite and the country’s top celebrities.
Having a professional photographer for a father sealed the fate of this guy who got interested in photography at the tender age of eight and considered the darkroom as his playground, enjoying the scent of chemicals. In no time, Wally Gonzales became his father’s trusted apprentice. A boy wonder, Wally, at age twelve, bagged his first wedding coverage job. By the time he finished high school and while in college, Wally Gonzales was already a professional photographer and was earning money on his own. After college, Wally Gonzales further honed his craft to become a photojournalist, covering police beats, sports, aerial and advertising events for some of the most distinguished broadsheets in the country. It is through his wide gamut of experiences that he is able to create exciting and distinctive photographs. Employing all the skills and expertise he has gained through the years, Wally eventually focused on the wedding industry and the rest is history.
A man who loves a challenge, Wally Gonzales chose the field of wedding photography since it uses almost all the disciplines of photography – from photojournalism to fashion, from interior to travel. He applies all the knowledge he has gained through the years in every wedding he covers—capturing all the decisive and dramatic moments as they happen—to give the best coverage possible to the satisfaction of the couple. Wally Gonzales perfectly understands that a wedding is, and should be, a once-in-a-lifetime event.
When asked for the reason of his success, Wally Gonzales had an easy answer, "I believe that it’s my dedication to my chosen craft and my passion to shoot! I [give] my heart [to] everything I do. It’s as simple as that..."
Wally Gonzales leads the pack of the country’s top photographers in a showcase of current works at "WEDDINGS… GET SET... GO!!!
