I was lucky enough to find Melanie on Instagram and was immediately drawn to the soft, romantic aesthetic of her photography. Aside from their photos being gorgeous, Melanie and Manny are so kind and amazing to work with. From the moment I spoke with Melanie on the phone, I knew I could trust her with our wedding photos. She is incredibly sweet, professional, and thorough. Our wedding was postponed due to covid and they were so accommodating and flexible with us every step of the way. When we finally had our wedding day, they made us feel comfortable and kept the vibe fun and light. Melanie and Manny really go above and beyond when it comes to wedding photographers- from the detailed planning/ informational booklet they gave us after we hired them, to the beautiful and plentiful photos we received from our wedding day- everything was amazing! I genuinely feel like we gained two friends by hiring Melanie and Manny, and I look forward to more gorgeous photos and time spent together in the future.

Melanie and Manny are not only truly wonderful people to work with, but they are also incredible photographers. The photos of my husband and I, our families and friends, and our Napa venue turned out more beautiful than we could have imagined. I have framed so many of them that I'm running out of wall space! Melanie is kind, patient and very communicative, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Although we were on a budget and had to keep our ceremony very small, they worked with us on a package that met our needs while still capturing every important moment. Finally, they are just lovely, genuine people, such a sweet couple and a great team - they added to our wedding day and felt like friends by the end of it! Of all the vendors and expenses we had for our wedding, Melanie and Manny were by far the best investment!

When my now-husband and I got engaged, we agreed that one of the most important components of our wedding, and therefore an area in which we were willing to invest, was the photography. We spent HOURS over several months researching and contacting dozens of photographers, with the hope that we would find a two-shooter team with a soft, elegant, and timeless style who would also be willing to go along with our extensive, detailed wedding plan and bring elements of fun and calmness to our day. Our expectations were high, and Melanie, along with her awesome husband Manny, soared way above the rest. We came across their work by accident when searching for beautiful engagement photo locations in Northern California; upon discovering that they are located in Southern California, just south of where I grew up (they had even shot weddings at my home church), I knew I had to get in touch. Melanie immediately quashed my concerns about the distance, expressing that they are often up in Northern California and they would happily take care of both our engagement and wedding photography. After several phone calls to get to know each other and discuss options, we were elated to officially sign the contract with Melanie and Manny, a decision we never once regretted! Throughout the planning process, Melanie kept in touch to stay on top of our desires and plans so that she could be adequately prepared; we know she spent hours of her own time scouting locations that would be just perfect for our afternoon portrait session as well as golden hour. I could go on forever, raving about our experience with this fabulous duo, but I will leave it here - if you are looking for photographers to capture an important event in your life, HIRE MELANIE AND MANNY! You will not regret it! Every photo you get back will be your favorite, and the hardest part will be choosing which photos to print and post :) THANK YOU MELANIE AND MANNY! We are eternally grateful to you for capturing the love and beauty of our relationship and wedding.
