Carlos Sent on 06/17/2018Who better to choose to photograph your wedding than the guy who inspired you to pick up photography as a hobby? Manolo was my first photography inspiration and still is.
Manolo isn’t one of the best in the business - he IS the best in the business.
If you’re looking for someone to show up with a camera and take some cool shots, Manolo isn’t your guy.
What makes Manolo the best:
1. He curates your photographic experience,
2. He plans, scopes the venue in advance,
3. He takes an interest in YOUR style,
4. He takes interest in knowing the couple,
5. He has excellent organization and planning skills, and
6. His office is excellent with communication.
Manolo, Thank you for giving us the gift of memories - memories of the most magical day of our lives.

Hi Carlos,
Thank you so much for your very sweet words! You two were so fun to work with and your night was so memorable especially when grandpa was breaking it down. I look forward to working with you again! -

Greivy Sent on 06/09/2018What can I say about Manolo Doreste ? One thing I can for sure say is that Manolo is more of a friend to our family. I first met him through my sisters sweet 16th photo shoot in New York City, and I just knew that the day I was going to get married he was the person I wanted ! His pictures and way of photographing are amazing, he will literally do whatever it takes for a shot. After that it pretty became a friendship. Manolo did my pregnancy photos , my baby's first photographs, my engagement and my wedding. Also, other members of my family used Manolo as well. He is just amazing, in all of the time he has taken my pictures, Manolo has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Not only is he is a true professional with a lovely personality ,but most importantly, he has taken the most fabulous photographs of all our events. Manolo even surprised me with my own snap chat filter of me and my husbands picture. We were so surprised ! Working with him is like a friend is taking your pictures! The environment is very fun and energetic ! His work is literally the best out there!

Greivy, it has been more than an honor to have you as a client, to know you as a friend, incredible mother and wife and to capture your family through the years. The ever growing Basto clan is one that will forever be in my heart. Your enthusiasm for portraits, your impeccable style, your infectious laughter and your trust in me never go unnoticed. I thank you for allowing me to be there for some of the most precious moments in your life and I know there are only more to come!
(Is it too soon for that vow renewal in Italy yet?!) -

User2327046 Sent on 09/21/2015I booked with Manolo about a few weeks ago and I'm more than excited that he is our photographer! I can't wait till our wedding to have one of a kind pictures! Not only is his work impeccable but he's one of the few photographers that actually sit with you and ask you your story. Which I love. Having a relationship that click with your photographer is key on how your photos will come out. It was instant with Manolo. I can't wait till next year!Manolo Doreste's reply:
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure getting to know you and I am so happy that we clicked! -
User2589270 Sent on 04/26/2016Manolo and his staff are absolutely amazing! We were fortunate enough to have him capture our engagement session and wedding. During both occasions he made us feel at ease and it was truly effortless. His attention to detail, professional disposition and charisma put him above the rest. From the pre-shoot meetings to the wonderful presentation of the photos after the event, Manolo and his staff go above and beyond to please their clients and make sure every detail is covered. I am so happy that we chose Manolo to capture our special day- because of his artistry and creativity our photos are absolutely incredible!! -

User1551677 Sent on 03/06/2014Choosing a photographer for my wedding was one of the most difficult decisions for me. I'm a pretty decisive person, and i found it difficult to decide because there are a myriad of photography styles and countless photographers in Miami. I met with 9 photographers and when I met Manolo i was hooked. He was the ONLY person that asked us questions about ourselves and our style instead of just the basic "how many people will attend" and "which venue did you choose". She asked about our likes and dislikes, our personalities and even our favorite candy!
Manolo is extremely easy to get along with, professional, upbeat and most of all creative. So far he has shot our engagement pictures and wedding. We have one more shoot with him and I have to idea what to expect because his images and the way he captures us as a couple is really amazing.
When working with us i noticed that he not only took beautiful pictures bet he also makes you feel so at ease while doing it. In the pictures where we are laughing, we are genuinely laughing at something he said which really makes the images look natural and not posed or fake. Most importantly he managed to capture us as a couple and exactly the way we are which is certainly loving and quite frankly a little goofy.
He offers a large variety of books, albums, pictures boxes and other accessories to choose from and everything is done professionally and in a timely manner. His staff is equally as nice and professional as well.
I also really appreciate the Viewing Party that he puts together once your images are ready. He invites you to the studio with your closest family and friends for refreshments and snacks while you view a slideshow of the images, set to music in his beautiful studio. These details coupled with his his incredible eye, make him a true artist and businessman. I would certainly recommend In Focus Studios to anyone that craves creative memories instead of just another posed photo.
