I’m Manny
Your Colorado weddingphotographer
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 sketchbook. I never used any of the empty pages of his sketchbook but I filled plenty others. I wrote stories 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, I joined the Army, following my brother’s footsteps. My first duty station was in Germany. 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, FL 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, passed away during the pandemic, but his presence is always with me. He was the best man at my wedding, and I’ve never seen him so happy.
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.
Let’s make something timeless together.
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.
I’ll see you in Valhalla
My Vows to You
I vow to be more than just your photographer; I’ll be your hype man, 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.
Whether it’s sunny skies or total chaos, I’ll be there, camera in hand, capturing your love story with all the feels.
“Not only was it our first time visiting Colorado, but our first time taking pictures together. Many made it so special and fun!
We had a great time and lots of laughs!
He is so easy going and will listen to your ideas as well!”
