Outstanding!

Manny is an incredible professional and amazing at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. His assistant Derek was also amazing and we really loved working with them. They both captured such special moments and we now have breathtaking photos to look back on. I absolutely recommend!

A full 5.0 rating must not be a thing, because Manny would definitely have it!

The day we first met Manny, I walked out of the office and told my fiance and wedding planner "that's it book him he's the one" and since this was the 3rd time I've said this (ok so I am a little impulsive and impatient), I was reminded to meet others so I can make a more informed choice. I let it sit for ONE night when we called our planner and said "Please cancel our next photographer meeting because Manny is really what we need." And boy were we right! My husband & are aren't exactly traditional. We love to laugh, make each other laugh, make others laugh & had a hard time with all the serious details that weddings often involve. At our engagement shoot, I surprised my fiance with a hotdog suit, and Manny executed it perfectly setting us up for a "practice first look". We all laughed hysterically & that was when I knew Manny was the perfect photographer for us. His personality is so laid back & informal (in a great way) that anytime we met it really felt like we were hanging with an old friend. He went along with any ridiculous idea we had, and would suggest one even cooler! His eye for background, lighting, detail and originality is amazing and his work truly speaks for itself. Let's face it, unless you're a VIP, you feel a little uncomfortable with a camera in your face for 8 hours but trust me when I say Manny made that so much easier for us. My husband & I are very much looking forward to working with Manny on future projects!

Manny did a friends wedding years ago and I knew I would want to use him, when the time came. Ravi and I have been in touch with Manny for about 3 years since our engagement. He did our engagement photos and I was so excited about them. As time came closer to the wedding Manny would check up on ravi and I and ask what we wanted during that day. The pictures he took on our wedding were absolutely amazing. I love when he sends us messages with images that he as completed so far. I can’t wait for the rest of our photos. Thank you Manny for truly capturing our day.

Manny is AMAZING. From the very moment we contacted him THREE YEARS before our wedding, he was responsive, caring, proactive, and he truly cared about us as a couple. We had the honor of using him for both our wedding day and our engagement shoot, and I don't even have words to describe the sheer masterpiece every single photo turns out to be. The engagement shoot was so much fun and we ended up with amazing photos. The wedding was even better (impossible, right? How does it get better?). Manny was a literal sniper when it came to shots during the ceremony and the reception. I honestly don't even remember seeing him the entire ceremony. I could literally go on for hours, but I'll keep it short by saying contact and book Manny, ASAP. You need him to capture your day.

I had met Manny and his team while he shot my cousin's wedding. I knew that when it was my time to say "I do" I wanted him to capture the memories. Manny was fabulous from start to finish! Our big day was filled with nerves, and Manny was there to put as at ease and make us laugh. He was encouraging throughout the entire day, sharing pictures, snapping selfies on his phone, giving us great feedback and really ensuring that every picture was going to be great. I waited until I received my final pictures to give my review, because I really wanted to be sure that my feedback was genuine. My husband and I watched our 1,000+ photos on a slideshow for over 2 hours. We were so happy with the way the day was captured. Manny photographed the important photos (group shots, bridal party, mom and dad, etc.), but the in-between shots are really what made it special. En route to the venue, dance floor, candids and more. I relive my wedding day every time I look at them, which is about every 10 minutes. The app that the pictures are available on is super easy and makes it simple to download and share with friends and family in an instant. I couldn't be happier with every single picture and will be shouting from the rooftop for every engaged couple to call Manny. I can't wait to have him photograph many more special memories for our family. We can't thank MTC enough for such a spectacular job!!!

A photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding and I'm so happy we booked MTC. Manny does his best to learn about his clients. He makes you feel welcomed, he's friendly and professional. From our first meeting with him we knew he was the perfect choice. He takes amazing photos, he's creative and brings around a feel good vibe. We've received so many nice words from our wedding guest about him and his team as well, saying they know the photographers are there but you could not tell. I'm so excited to see our finished photos. Thank you Manny for making our wedding day an amazing one !!!!!

When planning our wedding, our photographer was one of the most important vendors on our list. My (now husband) and I researched at least 25 photographers, and although many of them had great examples of their work, none of them matched the complete package we found with Manny. Not only was he very fair in his price and packages, but what really sold us was his personality. We wanted someone we felt comfortable with throughout the entire planning process, yet Manny quickly began to feel more like a friend and then a family member by the time the wedding came around. Since our wedding, we have received endless compliments about Manny; how he blended in with everyone, how overall nice he is, but once they saw his pictures.... we have not stopped hearing how incredible his work is. My husband and I are in awe with the pictures and we will have such breathtaking memories to cherish the rest of our lives. We could not be more grateful for MTC Photography for capturing our day even more beautifully than we could have imagined. If even one person hires him based off of this review, I hope that will help to show how thankful we are.

MTC photography did an amazing job for my wedding. The owner Manny has a terrific personality which is a must when shooting hundreds of photos. He was able to put everyone at ease especially my 9 year old daughter who hates taking any pictures at all. He also used his very creative mind to capture some beautiful sunset shots of us. We were very impressed with his quality of work. His ideas were terrific and we would highly recommend him to others!!
