We Frame it.
You Feel it.

Manuel & Alma. A husband-and-wife wedding photography team based in Indio, California. We document the Coachella Valley's most meaningful days.

Our Approach

How we
shoot.

We're Manuel & Alma — a husband-and-wife team based in Indio, California. For years we've been telling love stories across the Coachella Valley, from intimate elopements at courthouse steps to multi-day celebrations with 300 guests.

What we believe: the best wedding photographs are the ones you didn't notice being taken. The tear on your dad's cheek during your vows. The way your partner looked at you during the first dance. The flower girl stealing a cookie 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.

Featured Wedding

Husband-and-wife.
Both behind the camera.

Every wedding gets two photographers. Not as an upgrade. As the standard. One of us catches the wide, the other catches the moment your aunt didn't think anyone saw. That's how we cover the day end-to-end without cutting corners.

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