About this vendor
I'm a New York-based photographer. I love music, movies, and spending time with my wife and children. I'm passionate about photography; capturing moments that will be re-lived and viewed for generations is an honor, whether it's an emotional walk down the aisle, the first dance, or just people having fun at the wedding. My goal is to document your wedding creatively without getting in the way of your enjoyment.

Manny is based out of New York, but does a ton of tri-state weddings. He was so communicative and easy to work with. He was so calming as well as a confidence booster for the wedding. Working on different poses, he made me and my husband feel like models. His photos are so vivid and his turnaround time is IMPECCABLE! You won’t regret having him on your big day I Guarantee it!
What an amazing photographer !!! But aside from talent Manny is also one of the nicest and most humble photographer I’ve spoken to! Which is very important during the stressful time of planning a wedding. He was super accommodating and did his research because it was his first Coptic wedding ! He is very detailed and professional. Made everything super easy and stress free. Would highly recommend because the results also came out beautiful !
We could not have imagined how amazing Manny was going to be.
We first saw Manny at a family members wedding and we knew we had to have him at ours. It was the very first thing that we did when we got engaged.
And thank god we did!!
Manny was amazing to work with the day of the wedding. He matched our vibe ( we are very chill and thankful that he pushed us to take the great pictures LOL).
He puts you at ease when you are in front of the camera and just a great person to have with you during the day.
As for the pictures- there are no words. We have gotten so many compliments on our pictures. A family member of ours cancelled her own wedding photographer to book Manny for her wedding after seeing our pictures. He takes the time to make them absolutely perfect. The portal that you receive your pictures in is extremely accessible and easy to order prints and save the pictures from. I cannot stop staring at the pictures all day long!! I will definitely be using Manny for future events :)
We cannot recommend Manny enough; he is an absolute pro. Manny worked with us for over two years and accommodated all our wedding date and plan changes due to COVID. He was gracious and helpful throughout the process and really card about our vision. We worked with him for my Bridal Shower, Hindu Wedding Ceremony, Traditional Ceremony and Reception. He really cares about what he does. We sent him a list of inspiration pictures and he made sure he got all the shots. He was kind to our families and had a great attitude. His team has a great attention to detail, and we received our pictures quickly. If you are still hunting for a photographer, please reach out to him, you won’t regret it.
Manny is the best! He was so helpful from start to finish of our wedding adventure. From the engagement shoot to the final dance, Manny was there to help us every step of the way and capture the absolute best moments of our wedding to create forever memories. He is friendly and funny and makes every moment count, no doubt in my mind he will make your wedding photos perfect for you.
I had the pleasure of working with Manny for my engagement photoshoot in Central Park and wedding at The Tides Estate on April 2, 2022. We immediately loved his creativity, high quality edits, and unique style that matched our vision. My husband and I felt very comfortable while taking pictures and he always directed us to get the perfect shot. He is very easy to communicate with during the planning process. Manny is a such down to earth guy and will definitely make you and your husband feel like models.
I can't begin to say enough about how wonderful and talented Manny is. My husband and I used his photography services for our engagement shoot and then again for our wedding day. He was so patient and kind with us and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day, he did the same with our family and guests. He is also very flexible and accommodating to our needs. But the most important thing is that we absolutely LOVED our engagement and wedding photos. All of our pictures were so vivid and colorful. We are so happy that we decided to go with a high quality photographer like Manny because now we have amazing photos for the rest of our lives to pass on to our kids and future generations. Thanks Manny!
We are so happy to have worked with Manny on our wedding day! He was very helpful and responsive whenever we had questions as we prepared for our wedding. Manny's charisma helped everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. We were so excited to see our wedding photos and can't wait to put our album together! Thank you, Manny for your beautiful work and an amazing experience!
I got married during the COVID19 pandemic. Manny was extremely flexibility and let me update the location and time in my contract. He showed up early and even stayed late to make sure he captured every photo that I wanted. When I received the final photos I was blown away. They were all edited beautifully and looked like they came out of a magazine. So thankful to Manny for capturing my big day.
Manny was such a blessing to have at our wedding. He was such a pleasure to work with and made a rather stressful day go as smooth as possible. Communication with him was always effortless and he was always available. This all goes in line with his actual skills. He is a very experienced natural and you can see the passion he has for photography. We would totally recommend him to anybody and are recommending him to our closest family and friends.
Great experience, great pricing! I learned of Manny’s work through a very close friend who is also a photographer. She mentioned his photos were exceptional and advised me to check him out for my wedding pictures. My husband and I decided to contact him to discuss our wedding and get to know his work a bit more. After our meeting, I knew right away that we needed to hire him. The day of the wedding, we loved our experience with him. He was was fantastic and captured all the shots we wanted.
I would definitely recommend them to any bride looking to find a photographer. He makes you feel comfortable is SO easy to work with.
First of all, I want to say that Manny is the best out there! He truly goes out of his way to make sure that his clients are taken care of. Manny flew all the way from NY to photograph our wedding. Being wedding photographers ourselves, we really needed someone who would meet our expectations. Our friends and family all raved about how amazing he was on our wedding day! All the vendors also loved him too so that's even more amazing. I couldn't have hired anyone better and I extremely happy with the images I've seen so far. I don't even need to see my entire gallery to know that he is amazing. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and being able to relive everything means everything. I highly suggest you hire Manny, he is extremely professional and also on time. Manny will forever be an amazing vendor, colleague and a life time friend. I love this guy!
Manny is a great photographer - his vision, direction and executive are superb. It will be the best decision you make with inviting Manny to be a part of the most important day of your life.
Manny was absolutely perfect on my wedding day. He was on time, smart, and rolled really well with tons of things going on that we did not plan for. He was really warm and truly an artist in his craft. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!
Manny is an amazing photographer who really knows how to make you feel comfortable. He has a unparallel eye for the art of wedding photography. During he wedding he was extremely organized and removed a lot of our stress. The images that he captures are phenomenal and best fitting for the most important day of your life. I wouldn't recommend anyone else for the job, he is the right man.
Manny is amazing! Choosing him as our photographer was the best decisions we made. He made the process easy, natural and enjoyable (not to forget fun). We are vary laid back/crazy and a bit awkward when take pictures; Manny was able to work with us and capture the beauty of our intimate wedding. He was super flexible and was able to navigate around our bustling family members and capture amazing shots.
I look forward to our next photo session, as we see Manny as a staple in documenting our family’s growth!
Thank you Manny, We love you!
You won’t go wrong with Manny!
We found Manuel after researching tons of photographers. We contacted him and went out to lunch with him to discuss our plans. We loved how he really wanted to get to know us, our style, and what we wanted out of our wedding pictures. On the day of the wedding he was punctual and ready to get started. He took the most beautiful pictures of us and guests. Manuel had tons of great ideas for shots and really helped us plan out the timing for our big day and it worked out perfectly. The pictures are amazing!!! We will be forever grateful to Manuel for capturing our magical day.
Manny was just amazing during my Hindu ceremony for my wedding. The way he captured some of my happiest moments are beyond incredible. I literally look at the pictures now and get so emotional because I can feel the joy of that day. He made me and my husband feel incredibly comfortable and was so accommodating to all of our needs. I would definitely reccomend him! Every time I post a picture of his, I get so many questions about who my photographer was. You won't regret it!
I would like to formally recognize the photographer of our wedding, Manny Montenegro!
Right from the start, manny was so easy to work with, kind, super professional and a perfectionist. From the engagement pictures to the ceremony to the reception, he made my wife and I feel so comfortable and we had all the confidence in the world in him.
As we expected, the pictures came out amazing. We were happy with every single one of the pictures. My wife and I didn't know what we were doing at all but we looked like we did because of Manny!
If that wasn't enough, when the albums were ready, Manny came to my job to hand deliver our album and to our surprise, he included a few free gifts that made us happy!
We HIGHLY recommend Manny for your wedding or WHATEVER you need professional pictures that will lead to memories for life.
When my husband and I decided to elope we knew we also wanted beautiful memories of our intimate union. I came across Manuels work via pinterest. I was immediately impressed so i booked him. Well that was the best desicion i made.. Manny was awesome, he captured so many beautiful shots of us. He managed to capture our love in every shot. My husband and I loved his professionalism and the quality of his work which was outstanding.
P.s. Our wedding pictures were featured on black bride magazine. Thank you manny for your great work.
Highly recommend them! Their work is the best I have ever had done and very affordable as well. I am not one to do well with poses which is what I loved about Manny. He allows you to enjoy your event without feeling rushed or interrupted and he captures every single moment in its natural existence. He was very attentive to detail and all of my requests. His style is just so tasteful and elegant!
So very happy to be the first bride to share how amazing my experience with Montenegro Photography was during the planning months and now weeks after my wedding. I found Manny by chance and through a referral after making a last minute decision to switch photography vendors. I am thrilled with my decision, and couldn't be happier with the finished product. Thats right, my wedding was 1/14/17 and my final edited images were available 1/29/17. Shocking right? I didn't have the opportunity to meet Manny in person prior to booking him, but he had an impressive portfolio and a strong IG presence. After our first conversation, I was sold by his professionalism and even still, impressed by how responsive he is. Most importantly, he made me feel comfortable and I trusted that he would execute on our wedding day. Manny was super cool and laid back, blended in very well, and never made anyone feel uncomfortable. He exceeded my expectations every step of the way and truly delivered unparalleled service and quality images. You will not be disappointed.
