The Heart behind the Lens
WHY WE’RE TRUSTED
mEET MANNY
Colorado Springs Senior Photographer
Dad | Army Veteran | Former HS Teacher | Dork | Loves Europe
I’m a dad to two beautiful boys, Sebastian and Oliver, and they are a big part for why I’m striving in my current creative life.
After moving to Colorado, our oldest son Sebastian was diagnosed with autism, and not long after, we began to suspect the same for Oliver. That news brought one of the most difficult decision I’ve had to make, but in a way, it was the best decision I’ve ever made because I now get to spend more time with them both.
Before starting my business, I was a high school teacher for 7+ years. I taught many subjects but U.S. History was always my bread and butter. My time mentoring young adults is probably why I enjoy doing senior pictures now.
We also do community work volunteering our photography to schools and PTO fundraisers. We’re also a certified vendor for D20, so if you need any work for your schools, I’m always happy to help.

Manny was absolutely amazing. He truly captured our greatest moments and did not take away too much time from us to take pictures. He listened to what we wanted/what was important to us and was so easy to work with. He made us feel super comfortable taking portrait photos and truly captured our day beautifully. I would highly recommend him as a photographer.

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID
"You felt like family from the moment you arrived..."
The photos were absolutely spectacular and captured every emotion of our day so beautifully. We’re truly grateful for the incredible work you did for us. You felt like family from the moment you arrived, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person or a better experience. Manny gave us photos of a loved one who had passed, and he helped us without hesitation. That kindness meant more than words can express, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Being able to relive each moment through these images is such a gift. You captured this moment, OUR moment, with absolute perfection. Thank you for blessing us with these memories that we’ll cherish forever!

“I can't stop looking through the photos.”
Words cannot express how grateful I am that we found Manny! He truly went above and beyond. During our meeting, Manny, completely ruined all the other lame plain phone calls I had with other potential photographers tbh! He kept us posted every step of the way and offered encouragement leading up to our wedding day. He made us so, so comfortable and knew just how to get us to loosen up during our portrait photos, and most notably, Manny's photos and style of editing are GORGEOUS. I am blown away with our final album. I cannot stop looking through the photos. My only regret was not finding him in time to do our engagement photos.

“He got so many candid photos and special moments...”
Manny was very professional at my wedding and the pictures turned out great! I got a huge selection to pick from and got so many compliments on them. He made sure to get plenty of different types of pictures including all the photos of the ceremony and bridal party as well as romantic shots with my husband and me. He also got many candid photos of all the guests and captured all the special moments. I don't feel like a single thing got missed. Coordination beforehand and after the wedding was great as well. Very pleased!

“Any future events in my life will be shot by him."
We hired Manny to photograph our wedding, and things couldn't have gone better. Even before our wedding Manny was attentive. He showed up early, had everything ready to go, and when he was shooting I didn't even notice he was there. Truly! Ghost-like in nature, I didn't physically see him until we had our couples photos. Manny was incredibly attentive to our needs and very professional for the duration of the time we had him. Any future events in my life will be shot by him. I am so grateful for the way everything turned out, if you are looking for amazing photos that will last a lifetime, hire this guy.

Valr Studios Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Manny was quick, responsive, and incredibly sympathetic to our needs as a couple. Their communication style was effective and made the entire process seamless. The quality of their work was truly outstanding. On the day of our wedding, they showed up on time and ready to go and being there every step of the way to immortalize our big day. We are thrilled with the results and couldn't recommend Valr Studios Photography more highly.
