Hey there - I'm Manuel, but my friends call me Manny, that's including you! I'm the soul behind the camera, based in BeyoncĆ©ā€™s hometown, and Iā€™ve been capturing all kinds of love since 2020.

Call me extra cheesy, but I love what I do. I get to experience so many epic romances, real-life rom-coms, and kick-ass love storiesā€”and I wouldnā€™t trade it for anything!

Your love deserves to be documented in a way that feels authentic to you. So letā€™s make some magic together and create memories that will last a lifetime. I canā€™t wait to meet you!

"OMG MANNY IS THE BEST!!! Heā€™s very professional, easy going and so fun to work with. My husband and I never had professional photos done before so for our first time we were nervous, didnā€™t know what to do/pose and Manny made us feel comfortable and told us what to do and made everything so smooth and the photos came out AMAZING!! We couldnā€™t have been more happy and grateful that we found him to capture our special moment, we will be definitely going back to him for future photos!"

"Manny was one of THE BEST vendors that I hired for my wedding! From the moment that we met at an open house, he was incredibly professional, warm and kind, and the most supportive person! I also really was drawn to his photography style, which was bright and colorful and had amazing composition. Upon hiring him, he provided the most detailed photography guide Iā€™ve ever received with a myriad of wedding tips so I was already so impressed from the very beginning."

"Throughout the entire process from planning to the big day this was the easiest process. We had a couple meetings prior to the big day to ensure we were all on the same page and we could not have been happier with the outcome. Manuel was absolutely wonderful and his pictures are amazing. Me and my wife could not be happier with the pictures and cant wait to share them with everyone! Thank you so much and I would recommend you to anybody."

" Iā€™ve known Manny for years and his photos eat every time! I was so excited to initially have him shoot my grad photos, to next being my engagement photos and then my wedding! He will always be highly recommended in my books. Heā€™s a great friend and great photographer. We love the work he did for both our engagement and wedding photos. He ainā€™t shy so donā€™t try to be shy around him. He is an open book and loves to interact with his clients which make the shoots fun and enjoyable. He definitely deserves bragging rights for all photos he takes. šŸ«¶šŸ¼"

"Yā€™all! We booked Manny for our wedding in November. He was incredible! The pictures were amazing, he was keeping the lines of communication open before, during and after the wedding. Additionally during the wedding he was actively looking out for me and my husband making sure that we were good. He worked with us when we hit some financial hardship and was flexible with meetings and payment options. Manny was one of the best!"

"Manny is one of the most kind, genuine and loving people. He made my whole wedding experience carefree! From my bridals to our wedding day, Manny went above and beyond for our wedding experience! He exceeded any expectations I could have imagined, and I am genuinely so thankful for his fantastic work and the attention to detail he put into our day. When my husband and I got our photos back, we were blown away; we could not stop looking at them because they were so beautiful! Manny did a fantastic job capturing the joy of our day, and I could not recommend him enough!"

"My wife and I got married on Oct. 29th, 2022 and we had Manuel Ayala as our photographer. He was fantastic to work with throughout the process. It didn't feel as though he was someone we hired to be there and take photos. It felt as though we had a friend by our side on our day who just so happened to be a professional photographer. We are so thankful to have had him as our photographer for our wedding. Not just a professional, but a friend."
