August 17, 2026This was my second time collaborating with Josh. He shows up on time, has the easiest demeanor and manages to get the best shots without being obtrusive. When we got the pictures back -- which was a pretty quick turnaround -- everyone was thrilled with how well he captured the day.

August 15, 2026We had the absolute best experience with Manny as our wedding photographer! From the very beginning, he was so kind, accommodating, and professional, which made everything feel so easy and stress free. He was so patient with us and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire day.
Our wedding day was such a special and emotional day for us, and we’re so grateful that Manny was there to capture all of those moments. He was so easy to work with and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we got the photos we wanted.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would 100% recommend Manny to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! Thank you so much for capturing our special day and giving us memories we’ll cherish forever!

May 6, 2025I hired Manny for a graduation photo shoot of my son from Cal-Poly Pomona. I asked Manny to arrange details directly with my son & he did. My son said he had a very positive experience with Manny. He was professional and easy to talk to. He gave direction but he was also open to suggestions my son had. Most importantly, he allowed my son to feel comfortable. I would definitely hire Manny again and I thank him for his service and expertise.

🔦 Lighting
Natural Light Preferred: For weddings, events, and product shoots, natural light enhances emotional depth and clarity.
Supplemental Lighting: I bring portable strobes and LED panels when needed. Please ensure access to power outlets and allow setup time.

Minimal Clutter: Clean, visually coherent environments help focus the narrative and elevate the final product.

Client Styling: I encourage wardrobe and prop selection to align with your brand or story theme.
🔊 Sound (for video or live coverage)
Quiet Zones: For interviews or advocacy storytelling, ambient noise should be minimized.
Mic Support: Lavalier and shotgun microphones available upon request for crisp audio capture.
Music Licensing: Clients must provide licensed tracks or request royalty-free options for background music.
