“I chose not to have a videographer for my wedding, and had it covered only by photography. I sit here now, barely two weeks out from my wedding, already enjoying my entire wedding photo gallery from these amazing photographers that captured every detail as if they were using video recorders instead! Not only did they guarentee quick turn around on my photos (I think their words were "before you're back from your honeymoon") but the quality of work speaks for itself in the photos. They were such an joy to work with- often splitting up to cover ground and their easy banter with each other puts you right at ease when they're pointing those big cameras at you. I will never be able to thank them enough for making our day so special, and I'll enjoy it with their photos for the rest of our days.”

She is truly one of kind and the sweetest person you will ever meet. We had rain that had us skip some pictures before hand, but she was able to make it up later so efficiently and I never felt rushed or stuck behind the camera because she just made it seem so fun. She made our pictures turn out perfect despite some of the implications of rain. In the reception she was so interactive with the guests; everyone said how much they enjoyed her presence. She offers this keepsake box that is just so special and she got us our pictures SO fast. I can’t wait for more life events to be able to have her take more photos for us in the future.”

She goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you need - we filled out a survey a few weeks out listing our priorities, existing schedule, who needed to be in family photos, etc, and she sent back a really nice photo schedule document. It was fantastic to front-load this work and get it out of the way, and it made the day go so smoothly! 7.

“Where to start?! Joey and his team are incredible--words cannot do them justice. Besides getting married, Joey was one of my favorite parts of our wedding day. He is amazing at directing and making you feel comfortable. His communication is impeccable. We feel truly blessed to have had Joey be a part of our day and for helping us create (and capture) amazing memories with all our favorite people in one place.”

“I was lucky enough to have Manai photograph our special day this past July. Most of the wedding was a whirlwind, so I am so grateful to have such beautiful photos of our day to look back on. Manai was great to work with and captured the day in such a beautiful way. Even better than my wedding Pinterest board could have imagined!! I am not used to taking photos so I was pretty nervous at first but he had me laughing and put me at ease in no time. Photography is such an important part of your wedding day, and you want to make sure you pick someone great. That person is Manai!! You won’t be disappointed! Manai is such a professional and talented photographer. All my photos look like they belong in a magazine. They all came out so well. I have the most beautiful photos of not only me and my husband, but our friends and family having a great time. Thank you so much for capturing the most important day of our lives. I even have a photo of me running to get margaritas post ceremony!! He didn’t miss a thing! If you are looking for the perfect person to capture your special day, this is your sign!! Just look at these stunning photos. He is the best!!!”
