Bride and groom sharing a candid moment on their wedding day.

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 laughing until your stomach hurts.

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

This is the person.

Your wedding deserves the same joy and authenticity.

On your wedding day, you’ll spend more time with your photographer than any other vendor. At our core we make sure your day is stress-free, fun, and truly unforgettable.

I'm Manny, The heart and lens behind Valr Studios Photography.

After pizza, I spent my first paycheck on my very first camera. Was it fancy? Not even close but it was mine. For years, I felt disconnected from my inner child, unsure if my passion could ever become my purpose. Nearly 20 years later, it’s surreal to call photography my life’s work and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

A quick rundown on me

  • Traveling is my jam.

  • I love drawing, writing, photography... and yes, I still build Legos (now with an adult budget).

  • I listen to all kinds of music but rock and hip-hop are my go to.

  • Iraq combat veteran and a high school combat veteran too. Survived both!

  • I’m fueled by dad jokes.

  • I’m a nerd, I love fantasy & sci-fi.

  • Firm believer that dreams don’t just happen, you will them into existence.

As Seen On

“Manny went above and beyond for our elopement. He took time to get to know us as a couple beforehand and put in the effort to make our day extra special.

He helped us with posing and made everything look and
feel so natural.

Manny’s editing and photoshopping skills are also top tier. The photos turned out so amazing and we couldn’t be happier!

We had a blast working with Manny and would absolutely recommend him.”
