A newlywed couple standing close together outdoors during sunset, with their foreheads touching. The bride is holding a bouquet of white roses and is wearing a lace wedding gown with a veil, while the groom is dressed in a black tuxedo. They are on a paved path with green grass and trees in the background.

The first time you laid eyes on them.

Maybe it was across a crowded room (cue cheesy rom-com music) or maybe it was a quick swipe right on your lunch break, but in that moment, something clicked.

Fast forward through all the awkward first dates, late-night deep talks, and belly laughs.

Suddenly, you’re staring at each other across the kitchen, realizing this is it.

They Are One.

Your wedding deserves the same joy and authenticity.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

What Sets Us Apart

Over the years, one of the most valuable lessons we’ve learned behind the camera is knowing when to put the camera down in our own lives (don’t worry, never at weddings).

Being present in a moment is a quality that feels harder and harder in today’s digital world.

And that’s what we strive to give our couples, the space to live, be present, and fully experience their day, knowing we’re there to document those moments for them.

Our goal isn’t just to deliver stunning photos. It’s to deliver images that let you feel those moments all over again.

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID

“I can't stop looking through the photos.”

Words cannot express how grateful I am that we found Manny! He truly went above and beyond. During our meeting, Manny, completely ruined all the other lame plain phone calls I had with other potential photographers tbh! He kept us posted every step of the way and offered encouragement leading up to our wedding day. He made us so, so comfortable and knew just how to get us to loosen up during our portrait photos, and most notably, Manny's photos and style of editing are GORGEOUS. I am blown away with our final album. I cannot stop looking through the photos. My only regret was not finding him in time to do our engagement photos.
