ABOUT

MANYA

Destination luxury Wedding Photographer

based in california

I'm a California based Destination Luxury Fine Art Wedding Photographer who loved shooting all over California, Oregon, Wyoming, Montana, and beyond. Growing up I always had a creative mind with a love for creating art, weddings, and capturing photos. That’s how I started my journey with photography at a young age. I had been asked to document wedding events for family and that sparked my love for weddings, being creative, and being an artist. I loved seeing joy and love in others lives and photos are what we can hold on to when a moment has passed. I’m passionate about what I do and I love to make people feel amazing. I have a background in hair & makeup, and interior design along with being a photographer which helps to get those details just right.

"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 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. To be able to witness the beautiful moments of love and closeness between couples and their families has been an amazing gift.
