Paul, thank you so much for making our wedding day so wonderful The entire experience was phenomenal with your help! Thank you for everything!! Vanessa G.
From my first consultation with Paul, I could see that he was very serious about his passion for photography. He had high tech equipment and he was well prepared for our consultation. He had a folder filled with information for me. I could tell by his previous work that he was the right photographer for me. If you are looking for amazing photographic memories for a cheap price. You will NEVER find that with a true photographer. What you will find with Paul is someone who is willing to work with you and create a package designed for your budget in mind. Paul and his team are worth every penny I paid. I was impressed through the whole process from my consultation to well after my wedding. Paul and his team captured memories and feeling on the most important day of my life. When your family, friends and yourself can look back at your photos and relive each moment of that day laughing and crying; you know that you have made a good decision selecting a photographer. Look no further, let him answer your questions and show you what he showed me. – Nicole L
“I don’t even know where to begin. I was not looking for the cheapest photographer, I wanted a photographer that could capture feeling and emotion in a photo. That is exactly what I found! I have been super impressed by Paul and his team at Paul Manke Photography! Paul is very professional and extremely organized. His photos are absolutely beautiful. I was more than impressed when I saw all of the beautiful shots from my engagement shoot and the “sneak peaks” of my wedding photos. I am more than excited to see the rest! On the day of my wedding Paul and his team made sure myself and my groom were prepared. Paul had a huge “in case of emergency kit” with him and we used it! I was so thankful that he brought it. The day and the night went by like a dream and I barely noticed our photographers in the background capturing our once in a lifetime memories. I would highly recommend Paul Manke Photography and I will be using him until he retires! =) Thank you so much Paul!” – Nicole C.
“My spouse (whew! that word is new to me!!) Vanessa and I had a wonderful wedding Nov. 7, 2009 in Newport Beach, Cali. Our photographer, Paul Manke, was an absolute blast. He made us feel comfortable, took time to hear what our vision was for our wedding day photography and fit right in with the family. Of the few photos that I’ve glimpsed thus far, the images are outstanding, He captured the very essence of our wedding day. From the rings, to grinning grandmas to the seaside scenery -Paul trapped it all with his lens. Though he blended well with us for the most part, as one of the family, there were other times I caught him snapping photos without anyone noticing his presence. He calmed both Vanessa and I down as a friend when we had our expected panicky moments before the ceremony and danced with us at the reception when we had finished with the stressful parts. I can’t wait to see the finished product! I am already fielding family members and in laws requests for his contact information for future shoots and access to our wedding photos. I’m so glad that Paul, and his camera, are a part of our memory. ”

Perfect in every aspect of the word. I actually got compliments on him! Never in the way but everyone noticed him, in a good way of course. They were everywhere and we especially realized it when we saw the pictures, didn’t miss a shot. I could not believe how prepared he arrived and how knowledgable he quickly became of the venues. Many tricks up this photographer’s sleeve, a sheer genius!
