Whenever possible, my wife Paola is our dedicated content creator, capturing behind-the-scenes moments with two professional blogging cameras. When she isn’t available, we bring in Jenny from Love Snap Squad, a content creator we trust to deliver with the same level of care and quality we hold ourselves to. Learn more about our content team here (Coming Soon).
-
To secure your date, a $500 retainer is required at the time of booking. The remaining balance can be broken into flexible payment plans that work with your budget and timeline.
-
We get it, sometimes plans change. Your retainer is fully refundable within 30 days of booking. After that, the retainer becomes non-refundable as it secures your date and covers business losses for dates we may not be able to rebook. Any additional payments made before cancellation are also considered non-refundable. Full details will be outlined in your contract.
-
Absolutely! Your gallery comes with a print release, meaning you’re free to print, share, and distribute your photos online and offline with friends, family, and even that one aunt who still prints everything at Walgreens.
-
A Sneak Peek is delivered within 48 hours after your wedding and the final galleries are typically delivered within 4-6 weeks after your wedding date.
-
We split our time between two beautiful states:
Colorado Weddings: March through October (Summer)
Florida Weddings: November through February (Winter)
This allows us to chase the best weather year-round, giving our couples stunning backdrops year round.
-
Because we deeply respect teams who specialize in full cinematic films.
If you’re dreaming of a cinematic, movie-style wedding film, we’re huge fans of that and are always happy to recommend specialist videography teams.
But if you want photography as the main character plus living, breathing snippets of your day, brief moments, and designed for how you’d want to revisit the day, in small bursts on your phone. This is where this bundle comes in.
-
A dedicated creator focused only on video/photo all day.
Vertical videos and photos of the real moments: nerves, glances, hugs, chaos.
A curated set of reels you can instantly post, save, and rewatch, without paying double for a 5-minute highlight film you’ll watch sideways on your phone.
Oh and did we mention you get all the raw content to create your own if you’d like?

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID
"Manny was absolutely amazing. He truly captured our greatest moments... "
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!

WHAT THEY HAVE SAID
“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.
— Ray & Abi

“Manny is a true professional... who ensures he delivers the exact experience you desire.”
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.
