A unique video that really stands out

Manu was an absolute dream to work with. He’s so kind and his work ethic is unmatched. The first to arrive and the last to leave, Manu really made sure he captured every special moment of our day. His work is so unique. What really drew us to him was how “rock and roll” his videos are. Typically you see wedding videos with soft music, lots of slow motion shots, and violins playing in the background. That’s not Manu’s style and I’m so grateful for it! I cannot recommend Viejo Lobo enough.

An amazing experience!!!!!

We were beyond lucky to connect with Viejo for our 25th anniversary vow renewal in Tulum.

Manu is an amazingly talented photographer and FAR exceeded our expectations. He was so unbelievably pleasant to work with and our beach vow renewal pictures could not have been more PERFECT!!!!!

Thank you Manu, for truly capturing the moment and making this an unforgettable experience.

Amazing photographer

We trusted Manu with our Tulum wedding photos and I could not have been happier with my choice! His photos’ compositions are excellent, he was discreet when needed but could also give guidance (I’m not a natural!) He was very responsive,
patient and accommodating! Highly recommend!

Attention to Detail - Easy to Work With - Great Value

My wife and I were looking for someone who could deliver us a memorable and meaningful video. It's tough when you have to coordinate a destination wedding, but Manu was easy to work with and read our personalities perfectly. Amazing talent at a fair price.

Can't expect more

We have been very picky about photographer, and Manu and Vero exceeded our expectation in all perspectivs. Manu and Vero are professional, dedicated, and most importantly very creative. They was such a pleasure to work with. Manu was creative partners that allowed the documentation of our wedding to shine through. Extremely helpful and attentive to detail. We let him take his own creative approach to capitalize on his own vision which we could not be happier about. And moreover, we got all photos earlier than listed on the contract, it was definitely a good surprise!

A True Artist and Consummate Professional!

We knew we wanted beautiful photos but more importantly, images that captured the spirit of the night. I spent months digging through photographer's portfolios, but was disheartened by how similar most of the photography looked, until I stumbled across Manu Cappellari from Viejo Lobo Films. Each wedding he photographed had it's own unique style and feeling, and I knew immediately that we had to have him at our wedding. Not only is he a brilliant photographer, but he cares about being part of your special day. He's genuine and joyful, and stealthy like a photo journalist subtly capturing intimate moments on film. The photos turned out absolutely magical, and our friends and family still go on and on about the stunning photography!

We love Manu, he's the best in the biz!

Amazing Wedding Photographer!

Manu and his team came highly recommended to us, and they did not disappoint one bit. From the moment we had our first Skype call, Manu won our trust. He not only listened to what we wanted but also provided invaluable suggestions towards achieving our vision for our wedding day. Once on the island of Isla Mujeres, where our wedding took place, Manu was accessible and available when we needed him. His team captured every amazing moment from our rehearsal dinner, to day of preparations and the wedding night that far exceeded our expectations. We can honestly say that our wedding experience would not have been the same without Manu, Vero and the team, and we would happily refer them to anyone getting married or in need of a photographer/videographer to capture a very important life event. Thank you, Manu!

We have catered a few of the same weddings where Viejo Lobo did the photography and/or videography, and Manuel and his team are EXCELLENT. His photos bring everything to life, and his videos are of an incredibly high caliber. We know this personally, as he made our wedding video, and the most common comment we got was that it was "the best wedding video I´ve ever seen!"
