My bride and I hired Manuel for our wedding and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was interested in our vision and worked with us to capture our special day. Additionally, Manuel was just a great guy to hang out with on the day. He offered and accepted photo ideas. Really love the natural and candid style of the photos we got. He offered a great selection of photos and we've gotten nothing but complements when ever we've showed them off.

Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • Indoors • Digital or online download

I contacted Manuel inquiring about an engagement photoshoot with my new fiance, and received a quick reply to arrange my appointment! Manuel was extremely helpful and flexible when it came to deciding on the date and location for the photoshoot, and he drove 45 minutes to the location with no hesitation. We had a great time with Manuel during our engagement shoot, and were pleasantly surprised by his quick thinking when it came to choosing poses and backdrops. Manuel is an absolute gem and an impressively skilled photographer. Our photos turned out better than either of us could have ever imagined. We had such an awesome and unforgettable experience and we hope to work with him again soon!

Details: Posed engagement photoshoot • Traditional posed • Candid • Artful composition and lighting • Natural or environmental • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.

EXCELLENT photos and really appreciate Manuel’s ability to shoot from all angles! He single-handedly worked a huge event at Constitution Hall and I’m amazed at his ability to be everywhere all at once. How Sweet The Sound (HSTS) will definitely be using him for all of our DC events in the future. Thank you for your responsiveness and flexibility regarding schedules.

Manny was awesome to work with. He arrived before my wife and I to get pictures of the space and decorations, as well as guests. He was always on top of what was happening and positioned himself to get great photos without being "in the way". Very approachable and easy to work with. Many compliments from the guests who saw the photos afterward!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    My process is tailored to each individual and project because every client and job is unique. For example, when working on portraits, I start by learning as much as possible about the client's vision and what they hope to achieve with the photos. I welcome ideas and suggestions to ensure the final result aligns with their expectations. On the day of the shoot, I strive to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere—almost like friends hanging out and capturing moments together. This approach helps bring out authentic expressions and makes the experience enjoyable for everyone involved

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Photography from UMBC, which provided me with a strong foundation in both technical skills and artistic expression. Beyond formal education, I've gained invaluable experience through years of hands-on work, learning through trial and error, and continually refining my craft. This combination of education and practical experience has been instrumental in shaping my approach to photography.
