Hello World! I am Mani, lead photographer, and owner of Mani Pannu Photography. My love for photography comes from my family not having any pictures of me from the age of 2-18 years of my life, which breaks my heart. I was determined to not to do the same with my kids and picked up the camera in 2008 since then have worked with photographers in NY, TX, CA, and OH, to learn from the best of the best. For me, the hands-on experience mattered more than going to school for it. And, now I live in Columbus, OH, and shoot all over the US.

We hired Mani and his team for our wedding and let me say -- this team did NOT disappoint! One of the things that we really liked about him from the start was that he had experience shooting at our particular venue, and we got to see a collection of photos from that wedding. The work was incredible, and we knew then that he was the only photographer I wanted to work with.
The best quality about Mani and his team is how quickly they get your content to you. Our engagement photos were returned within 2 weeks, we had 500 sneak peek photos at 9am the day after our wedding, and our entire gallery delivered exactly 5 weeks after our wedding.
Mani's team is able to produce quality work and lots of it! Our engagement photos contained about 110 photos, and our wedding gallery had over 900. Every single detail was captured throughout the day, and captured with composition, design, and care in mind.
Mani also helped collaborate on our timeline with me after I presented to him how I envisioned our day. We could've done better to stay on the timeline, but that was more on my large bridal party than the team.
I had several bridal party members tell me how they loved the photos and that they wanted to know if Mani could photograph their weddings when they someday get engaged, which I think speaks a lot to the impact he made on the day and the talent he brought to the table.
Mani-- thank you so much for capturing our day so perfectly and for the photos that I will constantly be in awe of.

We are beyond thrilled with our experience working with Mani as our wedding photographer! From the moment he arrived, it was clear that Mani loves what he does, and that energy made the entire experience so much fun for us. He brought such a positive and artistic vision to every shot, and it was obvious he had a deep understanding of lighting, composition, and how to bring out the best in his subjects.
One of the things we appreciated most was Mani's ability to give clear, confident directions for poses. He knew exactly how to guide us to highlight our best features, which made us feel both comfortable and confident in front of the camera (something that doesn’t come naturally for us!). His calm, joyful presence made the photo process feel effortless.
But what really blew us away were the candid shots. Mani captured incredible moments throughout the entire evening, especially on the dance floor. There are countless photos of us and our guests laughing, hugging, dancing, and just being in the moment. He somehow managed to snap pictures of interactions we didn’t even remember happening, and now we have them forever. The night flew by, and we are truly so grateful Mani was there to document every magical second.
We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Mani, for going above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer or a more meaningful way to relive our wedding day.

Being a photographer myself (more of a hobby) I could tell what Mani was doing the whole time. Mani's talent behind the lens truly shines through in every shot, capturing moments that are not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful.
From the moment we began our session, Mani's professionalism and creativity were evident. He has an incredible ability to put his subjects at ease, creating an atmosphere that allows for natural and authentic photographs. His attention to detail is impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of the composition is just right.

Mani shot out engagement and wedding in Park of Roses and wedding at the Hilton, Easton. We are over joyed with the pictures and the results we got. We were traveling to get married in Columbus, so not knowing any vendors here was our biggest concern. But Mani and his team made us super comfortable and our pictures reflect that.

Mani Pannu Photography did a fantastic job! The quality of photos and existing is phenomenal! We were a little disappointed with the lack instructions for poses during the wedding photos and when the photos were delivered we didn’t get all photos back. There were some photos we had to ask for. They were delivered within 6 hours and we were happy to have them. They did fantastic with getting the many children in our family photos to look. Would highly recommend!

Mani went above and beyond to make sure the photoshoot and surprise went accordingly. He played the part very well and took high quality pictures that exceeded expectations. He was also flexible with timing and assured if there were any issues with the weather, he would be able to reschedule. That was very important. Would highly recommend Mani.

Mani came and started with the guys getting ready, he was right on time and very professional, he always wanted to get the best shot possible and he got a bunch of great ones! He then came to bride's room and was the exact same way. From there he followed us all over the place, from the hotel, to the church, to outside the hotel, to the reception... Literally everywhere and even when we had some logistic issues, he was very professional and kept his cool. And when the hotel allowed us 30 extra minutes to the party, Mani even stayed late. Thank you Mani for all of your hard work, you helped make our wedding so much easier and far more memorable.

Our daughter’s wedding was photographed by Mani. I am just leaving a review because I ordered a portrait from their wedding. I can’t begin to tell you how professional and how helpful Mani was in helping me with this. He went above and beyond to help us when the postal system lost our order. Very happy with the portrait and her professionalism.
