Hi, I’m Manny

I’m grateful that you’re here!

Weddings are my favorite place to be — not just because I get to create beautiful films and photos, but because I get to connect with so many amazing people. I’m a big-name person — I’ll try my hardest to learn everyone’s names throughout the day. By the time the reception winds down, I usually find myself with a long list of new friends to hug goodbye (and if you invite me to the dance floor or share a drink, don’t be surprised if I say yes).

My journey with a camera started back in middle school in Los Angeles. I used to take photos of everything around me and soon got into vlogging and making short films about my life and experiences. I loved being in front of the camera just as much as behind it, and over time, that passion evolved into creating music videos. That’s where I really sharpened my technical skills and learned how to get creative with storytelling.

I filmed my first wedding the summer before college, and I instantly fell in love with it — not just the creative process, but the editing, the family energy, and the happiness that fills the entire day. From there, I began shadowing established photographers and taking as many second-shooter and assistant roles as I could, both for photo and video. Those two years of study taught me the rhythm of wedding days, the language of the industry, and how to work calmly under pressure.

Now, with nearly a decade of camera experience and around 60 weddings under my belt, I’ve built a solid team that shares my love for capturing love stories. We’ve traveled all over California — with San Diego being one of my favorite places to visit — and continue to grow with every couple we meet.

For me, every detail matters — the colors you chose, the food you love, the family stories, even the way you look at each other. These pieces come together to tell your story, and I want your wedding film and photos to feel like you. My style leans toward the natural and candid, capturing genuine smiles, real moments, and the in-between magic.

At the end of the day, I don’t just want to be your photographer or videographer — I want to feel like a friend who celebrated alongside you.
