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.

We knew from the beginning that finding the right wedding photographer would be one of the most important decisions and we could not have been happier with our experience working with Melanie and Manny! There are so many reasons why we love them and I want to highlight two areas.

First is their love and depth of knowledge for their craft which really shines through in the most stunning photos. From our initial engagement shoot session at Land’s End in SF to our Sonoma vineyard wedding, they had expert knowledge in all the best areas and lighting to ensure we had the most beautiful shots in a variety of different scenery. They are able to so easily put us at ease to create the most natural and dreamy shots! They are true artists that have honed their skills over years of experience and I am so obsessed with all our photos and have gotten so many compliments from everyone that has seen them.

Secondly, not only are they amazing photographers, they are truly also the most sincere and sweet people you can meet. Covid has really derailed a lot of couples’ wedding plans where we had to postpone our date 2 times, and they have been the most understanding and helpful during this time to make sure things go smoothly. My husband and I are so grateful for their hard work and the most gorgeous photos that we will treasure for a lifetime!!

Manny and Melanie are the ultimate photography dream team. They shot our engagement session, as well as our wedding and rehearsal dinner. Melanie even shot my boudoir session (a sweet surprise gift for my hubby). Their soft, elegant style is so timeless and beautiful - I have yet to find anything that compares. And their commitment to the art of film makes the photos so unique and romantic. They are true artists.

Not only is their work amazing, but both Manny and Melanie were SUCH a joy to work with. SO much fun, and easy to to be around. For someone like me who is very awkward in front of a lens, I really appreciated their ability to calm, comfort and coach. They made our shoots easy and natural. Not to mention, Melanie worked OVERTIME with us to nail down the most ideal timeline to ensure we got the shots we wanted. I recently looked at our gallery, and was once again brought to tears. Yes, our photos are beautiful.... but what wows me is the way they captured the emotion our big day. Our gallery tells our story, and there is nothing more special than that.
THANK YOU MANNY AND MELANIE!!!
