With the number of photographers in the Philippine wedding industry today, the task of choosing one almost seems impossible. But there are some who ultimately stand out because of sheer talent and genuine style–and one of these chosen few is Erron Ocampo.
As a young boy, Erron dreamt of someday doing what the people behind National Geographic and Discovery Channel do: travel, meet people, and take amazing photos. Through hard work and perseverance, Erron fulfilled his childhood dreams. As a wedding photographer, he gets to travel to different places, meet a lot of people, and of course, take great photos.
Erron started in the field of photography back when he was in college. He was an active member in a photography organization at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) and was always tasked to cover events in school. At the same time, he also had a part-time job at a wedding photography studio, where he did album layouts. The studio initially didn’t know that Erron was into photography until they let him try shooting one wedding. That paved the way for Erron’s career in wedding photography.
Throughout his career, Erron has constantly sought new inspiration. He experiments with candid and posed shots, and has done all sorts of shoots–classic, edgy, eccentric, fashion, and glamour, among others. But unique to Erron’s photographic style is his ability to fuse wedding photojournalism with modern sensibilities. Such fusion allows him to come up with unconventional portraits that couples delight in seeing, sharing, and keeping.
Erron has taken to heart the rule that wedding photography is all about the bride and the groom. The goal of the photographer for every wedding is to creatively translate into photos the personality of the couple and, more importantly, the genuine love shared by the two. Erron says that the entire process is about “taking a good photograph without losing the couple in the picture.”
With his unique, evolving style bound with his passion and dedication, Erron is a photographer who doesn’t just take photos for an album. He also captures priceless moments that will last a lifetime.

Erron’s affair with photography began the moment he laid hands on a camera. Viewing his surroundings with more than a little interest and with the eye of an imagist, he started capturing them in digital memory, preserving the fleeting beauty of even the most ordinary event. Erron’s photography might best be described as organic and natural, but also with a sense of timelessness and grace that belongs in the pages of a magazine.
These days, Erron’s focus lies in wedding photography, finding the beauty of the unrestrained to be among the most fascinating things he’s ever had to shoot. Through the preparation and the prenup, to the celebration and the catastrophe, Erron manages to draw the emotion from these occasions committing it to the images and preserving it for the days that come after.
