About

I’m Manny Salazar, a Temecula‑based wedding photographer creating natural, timeless images for couples who value honesty, connection, and a calm, unobtrusive experience. My approach is simple and intentional—focused on real moments, beautiful light, and the people who matter most.

I give myself space around every wedding so I can arrive grounded, present, and fully focused on your day. No complicated structures or unnecessary add‑ons—just thoughtful coverage and images that feel true to your story.

After the wedding, I personally refine every photograph to create a cohesive collection you’ll return to for years. Your gallery is delivered as high‑quality digital files, ready to download and share.

Highly Recommend!

I am so glad I found Manny to photograph my wedding - he is the absolute best! He was super easy to work with, communicated quickly, showed up early, and did a great job. Not only did we have hundreds of gorgeous photos in record time, he also sent a sneak peek the next day! He gave us great direction for shots and captured the day beautifully.

Wonderful Photographer

Manny was wonderful. He took a lot of photos and much so much work into editing them. He return the photos quickly and we were so happy with how they turned out. His calm demeanor the day of helped keep things little hearted as we prepared to walk down the aisle. We were so please have him as a part of our wedding team.

Stop looking; Manny is the best? A friend of mine from work used Manny for her wedding. I read his reviews and was pleased but my husband asked me to shop around a little and his prices were the best by far. We hired him for an engagement session months before the wedding and he not only took incredible photos, he gave us some pointers for the wedding. He is easy to work with, professional and we received our 2000+ pictures less than 3 weeks after the wedding.

Manny was wonderful! He was so easy to work with, he gave us a great advice on scheduling, and of course the pictures were amazing! Manny gave us a military discount, unlike some vendors, Manny went far and beyond our expectations. I will be recommending IMA Foto to all of my friends.

Manny was an absolutely incredible photographer! He was extremely professional while, at the same time, very friendly and personable. He listened to our ideas and delivered exactly the kind of photos we both wanted.

He arrived early the day of the wedding to prepare for the rest of the occasion. During the ceremony and the reception, I barely noticed he was there. He was able to photograph beautiful pictures without interfering with our special moments. During the photographs between the ceremony and reception, Manny took many amazing pictures of our families. During the reception, he was able to capture the feeling and fun atmosphere of our night.

We could not be more happy with a wedding photographer. Manny was absolutely fantastic; my husband and I would both recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.

I was very happy with all of my photos. I highly recommend IMA FOTO to anyone that wants great posed photos, but still want a documentary like feeling of the events. He really went out of his way to get great photos without disturbing my guests.

I first discovered Manny when I was a bridesmaid in San Diego last year. I hardly noticed him while he worked but what amazing photos he took, Manny is based out of southern California, so I was a bit worried about paying for travel expenses, so I looked for good local photographers. The thing is I am new to Seattle, so I asked friends for referrals and no one recommended one, so I thought it best to go with someone I knew was good instead of taking a stab in the dark and hoping I got lucky.
I am so glad I went with Manny, he was so sweet, my luck he used to live in Seattle and knowing we were near the budget limit, he only charged us for the air travel because he stayed at a friend’s house instead of a hotel. The photos were wonderful, we got them in less than two weeks, and the album just came in a few days ago and OMG! It is beautiful!

I was not sure if I should write me review yet, you see I am not getting married until this August but I just took my engagement photos two days ago and I got them back this morning. They were phenomenal! I kept postponing the shoot because my fiancé’s job kept interrupting our scheduled dates. Now we were in a rush to get our photos so we can send out the invitations in time. Manny delivered over 100 fully edited photos in just one day. We are not selfie people and don’t have too many photos of ourselves so I was a bit worried on how the engagement photos would come out. Now I am looking forward to our wedding photos more than ever!

I am super happy with my photos. I was trying to keep my costs down because we are buying a home, but of all the vendors I could afford, Manny is the only one that exceeded my expectations. My package did not include an album, but my mom was so thrilled with the photos, that she insisted on buying one on my behalf, and of course, Manny being the superstar that he is gave my mom a deal on that. I cannot recommend Manny and his assistant Gabe enough.
