Hi, I'm Manny, for me, photography is about catching stories and creating art that reflects the essence of a moment. I'm passionate about weddings because they are dynamic environments full of love, people, emotion, and celebration, I capture what makes you, you. My wife Gigi is not only my other half, but she's also the other half of our studio, when she edits she takes all those magic moments and brings them to life. I'm based in New York but am available to travel.
