ABOUT

MANYA

Destination Wedding Photographer

based in central california

I lived in Southern California my entire life and recently moved to Central Valley California for love and the opportunity to expand shooting weddings in so many more beautiful areas. I love shooting all over California, Oregon, and beyond. Growing up I always had a creative mind. That’s how I started my journey with photography at a young age when I was asked to take photos for my family wedding events. That sparked my love for weddings, being creative, and being an artist. I’m passionate about what I do and I love to make people laugh. I have a background in hair & makeup along with being a photographer so I always feel that helps me because they work together.

"I recommend Manya to everyone that I can!"

My photography focuses on images that are full of beautiful light, love, joy, and natural emotion. With dreamy film tones and a relaxed approach, I document my wonderful clients with an approach tailored to you. I want to show your love story by letting you be romantic, fun, artistic, adventurous, and most importantly timeless. I aim for love, beauty & art, having a laidback luxury with touches of glam approach to my fine art. I know that art comes in many forms so documenting beautiful moments as they happen and creating beautiful memories is something to cherish and what you can be happy to display in your home as piece of fine art.

The best thing about being a wedding and portrait photographer is the opportunity to meet and befriend incredible people. I absolutely adore my clients and I feel very fortunate to be able to take part in their wedding day or special portrait session. To be able to witness the beautiful moments of love and closeness between couples and their families has been an amazing gift.
