Salazar Wedding Photography

ck the wonderful moments of our wedding.

casion. He was full of wisdom and kindness. Before our wedding day, he even carved out time in his schedule to  meet us at our venue to scope out the location and suggest the perfect time for our ceremony in order to get the best pictures and lighting. On the wedding day itself, he arrived early and photographed every detail before we were even ready. He made us feel so comfortable and truly became a part of the family that day, making it so easy to capture every emotion of both of us and our guests. We received our pictures back from him quickly and while looking through them, we were truly reliving the entire day. With his stunning photography, he was able to make time freeze and we are so thankful that we can relive our favorite day over and over again every time we look back at our photo gallery. We would recommend Manny to anyone for any occasion. He is a master at his craft and has a genuine and wonderful personality that will make anyone comfortable. We are blessed to have worked with him, and we will work with him in the future again for sure. 

d the camera, he was patient and kind. He provided guidance on poses which I appreciated and made small adjustments to get the best shot. We also got our photos back promptly and I was able to select my favorite photos to be more extensively edited. We loved our experience! 

les, the shots and the natural editing was exactly what we wanted. To anyone looking for a fantastic photographer, Manny is your guy!

res are stunning!! 😍 he was very responsive to all of our questions. He was always on time, profesional, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

gle moment from start to finish! I couldn't be more happy with mannys work. Seriously, don't think. Just book. You will not be disappointed!

rders” being in place until June 18. We chose not to postpone our wedding, therefore we did not re-book. Manny gave us a full refund without any hesitation. He has been the most honorable out of all our vendors. We were really looking forward to having him shoot our wedding. Highly suggest booking him based on what a stand up person he has been.

t our wedding too. Our engagement photos look much more natural like he really captured our personalities in comparison to the wedding photos, they look like something my parents' weddings, stiff and formal.

etting my wedding dress on, to walking down the aisle, the first dance, and reception. He is so thoughtful, fun, and my husband said he wasn’t corny which is big praise coming from him. He is extremely flexible with his packages (I loved being able to pick exactly what I want with no price penalties!), so definitely ask, and I’m sure he'll do his best to make it work for you!

d to my messages quickly and professionally, and just overall pleasant to work with... by the end of the night he felt just like one of us... Manny made sure to capture all the important moments (even in the midst of a minor meltdown I had) and also captured all of the shots that I wanted... He never felt “in the way” yet, he always got the shots - unbelievable work... my budget was near my limit after I budgeted the flowers, favors, matching linens, etc... and instead I cut back on those after my husband insisted that we hire a Pro to shoot the wedding instead of just using our friends photos... still, friends all shared their photos and outside of the selfies which I love, there is no comparison. The day and night go by unbelievably fast, and when it's over the only thing left to remind you of such a memorable night with special family and friends are those professional pictures - you will not regret this choice one bit… Manny - thank you again… I’ve been giving out so many referrals to friends who were asking me for his information to book him for their own weddings!!!

Diego, we live in LA. In the months leading up to our wedding, Manny was incredibly helpful, informative, and flexible. He helped us fine-tune our timeline, suggested venues for photos, and even offers an option to travel for engagement photos (which was important to us because we wanted the engagement photos to capture our everyday life).  On the day of the wedding, he was timely and professional. He had even programmed our day of/photo schedule into his Apple Watch! He was the perfect combination of on-top-of-it and easy-going. When we showed up to the venue I picked for photos and found it was under construction (my fault, not his), he helped me scope out the space for alternate shooting locations for group shots. When the hallway I envisioned for the first look had scoffolding on one side, he found an angle to shoot the first look so that you couldn't see any of the construction in the photos or video. Magic! We've gotten all of our wedding photos and they are absolutely stunning. He took the time to understand my vision and that 100% shows. We couldn't be happier! The candid shots are my favorite. My now husband and I were so unbelievably happy that day and I am so very grateful that he captured so many shots that showed that. I didn't feel like a camera was pointed at me all night, but Manny captured all of my favorite moments--even the smallest of interactions.

great locations, giving fun directions, and getting those special 'must have' shots. Manny listened to our feedback and help shape some of the stuff we were a little uncertain about. I cannot recommend Manny enough to deliver the memories wonderful that you’ll treasure for a lifetime

ence made this hectic day easy to enjoy. I had seen his work before and based on our meeting, we hired him. We are so glad we did. Our photos turned out fantastic. He really captured the spirit of our wedding with some amazing photographs that we will keep a life time. Thanks a million manny.

My cousin was stressing about the photos she scheduled to do before the ceremony. Needless to say, Manny kept my cousin in a good mood by taking hundreds of amazing pics of just us girls while we waited. When the groom finally arrived, he took even more wonderful pics in just a few minutes to get the wedding back on schedule. Onto my wedding day. My wedding day was not so crazy, but because of budget constraints, I could not afford Manny for the entire wedding. He was so amazing in working with me and telling me what times were most important to have coverage. Well, the pics were incredible and looking at the photos one would never think my photographer was not there the entire time, he covered every big moment beautifully. Manny, thank you again for your hard work and amazing skills.

, you're amazing! These photos make me feel like a freaking Super Model! Thank you for capturing my wedding in the MOST perfect way. We will truly treasure them forever. YOU are an absolute rock star!! I seriously cannot say it enough, THANK YOU!

we could afford, and Manny is genuinely the best. He helped us through the entire wedding planning process, from getting us to relax at our engagement session to assisting us with great timeline ideas that helped make the wedding day go so smoothly and fun. Like all weddings, things did not go according to plan, but there was no stress because we listen to his tips beforehand, that joy is reflected in our photos! Manny even traveled to LA for our engagement session since it was very special to us having photos were we first met. We left the wedding photo locations up to him, and he took us to the hotel’s parking garage, are you for real we said to him when he suggested it, they turned out to be some of our favorites! Worth everything we paid maybe three times more. Thank you, Manny, for capturing our wedding day so beautifully!

dous experience through every step. He is super responsive, professional and super easy going. Don't hesitate to work with Manny, seriously worth every penny and more!

ghed about how we only noticed him once or twice throughout the whole night when there we weren't posing for photos. We both really appreciated his subtlety because the photographs came out so artistically natural, which is totally what we wanted. When the photos arrived, my husband and I literally teared up from looking through the photos. Manny not only took amazing pictures, but he stylized our photos which matched perfectly with the style of our wedding and that is something we cannot thank Manny enough for. You did such an incredible job, thank you Manny!!

uper comfortable.

to us. Of all the things that inevitably went awry that day, Manny helped keep us calm and still managed to capture incredibly creative and beautiful pictures. On the day of the wedding, Manny told us that his goal was to never lose site of the bride and groom. He was true to his word and we have gorgeous candids of us throughout the day to prove it! The quality of his work is incredible and I could not be happier with our photos. To top off a wonderful experience, Manny spent extra time to edit our photos and get them to us by Christmas so that my husband could surprise me with them as a gift. You can't go wrong with IMA Foto.

d budget. The day of the wedding he was punctual, professional, flexible, and gave great direction for all the poses. Best of all our pictures came back so quickly (under 3 weeks!) and they turned our great. The quality of all the pictures is fantastic, great editing work, and super easy to work with from the custom USB drive he sent. Overall, I would highly recommend Manny as a wedding photographer.

wedding, he was the only vendor that went out of his way even though we didn’t pay him the full rate because he gave us a military discount, we never once felt he gave it less than 100%.

urprisingly affordable, professional through and through, quick and thoughtful--he threw in a few extra surprises for us that made the experience all the more special. Plus, he goes the extra mile to scope out your venue and determine lighting, etc. I would definitely hire him for future events.

uainted with the venue since this was a new site for him. Very kind, very affordable... and very talented! He is incredibly skilled at playing with natural light, and both our posed and candid photos turned out beautifully. Thanks again Manny! We so appreciate you!

sing words from my real-estate job, but trust me it is wonderful. The whole experience was wonderful, I believe Manny truly worked with me to get everything I needed and avoid extra costs of things I didn’t need, no sales pressure, quite refreshing actually. I am not sure if I am allowed to discuss pricing on these reviews, but trust me that for the service and product I received it was a bargain.

hoto as an artwork in our living room, he also captured so many great candid moments, and in fact, the entire day was captured beautifully, even down to the smallest minutiae. He was so welcoming, down to earth, and above all, professional. I HIGHLY recommend him to any soon-to-be brides that feel overcome with the hundreds of photographers-he is simply AMAZING. If you’re the emotional type (ME!), the photos will leave you speechless! I wish him nothing but the success that he deserves for his amazing skills! The only problem we have now is selecting which photos to add to our album, there are just too many to choose.

ost documentary, because when my husband passed out during the ceremony Manny did not take any photos of that. I really wish he did because it is part of the day, but I guess I should not be too upset because he was genuinely worried that John hurt his head when he fell back. But still, I wish he would have. Other than that, John was fine, a little embarrassed, but he recovered and the rest of the day was perfect, I really loved Manny’s work and overall I am super satisfied!

s not a problem because our revised schedule allowed for mishaps. We still had enough time to get our first look, and even though it was only a few minutes, I am so glad we did. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and the photos are fantastic!

eras, but he and Manny got along great, he surprised me how well he came out in photos. With our budget, Manny‘s professionalism stood out from the others we interviewed, I highly recommend him and his charming assistant.

friend’s house instead of a hotel. The photos were amazing, we got them in less than two weeks, and the album just came in a few days ago and OMG! It is BEAUTIFUL!!

r ones, but what really stood out was how naturally beautiful the couples looked. He could easily charge so much more and still be worth it! He made us laugh, handled my drunken relatives with ease, was an absolute delight, charming, caring, and thoughtful. He took gorgeous photos that won over our hearts. I am so thankful to have worked with them as a wedding professional and as a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding. Love, love, LOVE imafoto!

they were out of my budget. We had a wonderful wedding and I was thrilled on how he captured our personalities so perfectly. I wholeheartedly recommend Manny to any bride that cares to have beautiful photos and cannot afford super expensive celebrity photographers.

very detail I made with my mom. We truly recommend Manny to anyone looking for a top notch photographer. Thank you many for all the beautiful memories.

all the vendors we hired, Manny is the only one that exceeded our expectations. I cannot recommend ima-foto enough.

we liked him... he did an incredible job of melting into the crowd and not attracting attention to himself, all while still capturing beautiful photos that we still look back on with joy. Manny did so much research ahead of the big day - from tracking where the sun would be at the time of our ceremony to planning for a female 2nd shooter to take bridal suite shots - I can't say enough good things about how easy it was to work with him. The quality of his photos were amazing - I had a hard time choosing which ones would make the cut into our wedding album - and did a great job of capturing the spirit of the day while also being organized enough to get our family shots in. Manny is worth double his fee, you won't be disappointed by him!
