Nale and Tess Wedding – photo 6 by James Historia Photography

Wedding & Portrait Photographer · Manila, Philippines

Timeless photographs of the days that matter most.

Classic, honest wedding, prenup and debut photography for couples and families across Metro Manila, Luzon and beyond.

Hello, I'm James

Real moments, beautifully kept — made to still feel true in fifty years.

I photograph weddings the way you'll want to remember them: the nerves before the aisle, the hug from Lola, the dance floor at midnight. Natural light, gentle direction, and a classic edit that won't date.

About

The storyteller behind the lens

I'm James — a Manila-based photographer who believes the best pictures come from people feeling at ease.

I'll guide you when it helps and step back when it matters, so your gallery is full of real expressions, not stiff poses. When I'm not shooting, you'll find me hiking the Cordilleras or out with my beagle, Maxi.
