Our Approach

How we
shoot.

We're Manuel & Alma — a husband-and-wife team based in Indio. Both of us shoot every wedding. Both cameras, every time.

What we believe: the best wedding photographs are the ones you didn't realize were being taken. We're watching for the small stuff — your dad reacting during the vows, your sister cracking up at the toast, the flower girl raiding the cookies during cocktail hour.

Both of us shoot every wedding. There's no second-string. We don't quote a photo count — that incentivizes filler. Every image we deliver earned its place in your gallery.

Two Of Us

Two rooms.
Two photographers.

The morning splits in two. While one of us captures the bride lacing her dress, the other catches the groom's father knotting a bow tie. Two rooms covered at the same time. No waiting on each other. No missed first looks. We sync up for the ceremony and stay close through the reception.

Featured on The Knot and WeddingWire. Fully insured. Certificate of Insurance available for any venue, any time.
