About Me

Your professional wedding photographer

More than a Photographer
Your Memory Keeper

I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember.

My family would probably tell you I was always creative but for me it all started when I was 7, my brother left for the army and I found his old sketchbook. I never used any of the empty pages of his sketchbook but I filled plenty of my own. I wrote stories, drew, made things, and I found all the ways I could to create.

While in highschool, I used my first paycheck to buy a camera, after pizza of course, priorities.

Soon after graduating high school, I joined the Army, following in my brother’s footsteps. My first duty station was in Germany and I knew my old camera wasn’t going to cut it. That’s where I upgraded my gear and started seeing the world through a whole new lens.

All these years (and cameras) later, I’ve moved from Miami to Colorado.

Today, I’m married to the love of my life, and we have two amazing boys who keep me on my toes. My brother, who was a huge part of my journey, sadly passed away during the pandemic, but his presence is always with me. He was the best man at my wedding and his happiness preserved in my wedding photos is perhaps one of the strongest reason I love wedding photography.

He’d probably laugh at the fact that I who swore I’d never get married, ended up with
a beautiful family.

But that’s the thing, love stories are vast, unique, and encompass so many people in our lives. Whether it’s the quiet moments or the grand celebrations, my goal is to freeze time and create memories that last forever for my couples; moments that pause happiness we’ll forever long for.

I’m Manny and I believe your wedding should be as fun as it is unforgettable.

My Vows to You

  • I vow to be more than just your photographer; I’ll be your biggest supporter, and occasional comedian, awkward moments included.

  • I promise to capture the big, epic moments and those sneaky ones you didn’t even know were happening.

  • I swear to make you laugh, even if my jokes are bad. I’ll keep things fun, laid back, and not force you into cheesy poses unless that’s your jam.

  • I’ll make sure you look like absolute rockstars, even if you feel like you’ve got two left feet.

  • I vow to have extra tissues handy for the tears and a secret stash of snacks, just in case.

How I Got Here

Miguel wasn’t just my brother—he was like a father, my best friend, and the guy who could make me laugh when I didn’t even want to smile.

Don’t tell my wife, but aside from a few key shots, I probably wouldn’t have thought much about our wedding photos… until I realized I only had a few more years with him.

Now, those photos of him, smiling and laughing, are some of the happiest memories I have.

I’ll never forget that day, and I’ll never stop cherishing those moments.

“Manny worked with us for our wedding in Boulder. Manny had a way of ensuring our day was going to be captured to the fullest by setting up a virtual call to discuss important topics for our big day.

Upon meeting Manny at the venue,
he instantly began helping in all aspects.

We’ve had non-stop feedback from friends and family of his outstanding work.

I give Manny more than a 10/10! Thank you again Manny, you’re amazing!”
