Manuel,
We cannot thank you enough for creating little works of art that truly capture the beauty and magic of our wedding day in a way that words could not describe. You made me look like a princess and my husband a prince – which is of course the most important thing! On a serious note, we set out to find a photographer who would avoid the stereotypically posed wedding shots devoid of any true feeling or emotion, and you exceeded our expectations and produced stunning little snapshots of the most wonderful day of our lives, all of which convey a mood and feeling, and something truly human and natural. In addition to this, you were a pleasure to be with and working with you was an absolute pleasure.
The little moments including the insane taxi ride through Marrakech ending in a little collision, the hair salon with my mother, and even our sneaky cigarette pre-wedding all added to the magic of the most enchanting wedding ever to take place.
Thank you for everything,
Annabel & Ben from London
Wedding in Beldy Country Club, Marrakech, Morocco
Dearest Manuel
Please accept our sincere apologies that this note is so overdue but what with Christmas and New Year, time seems to have flown by, I cannot believe it is the end of January already and four months since our wedding.
What a special day it was and thanks to you we’re able to relive every moment through your beautiful pictures, which we have looked at on countless occasions…. I’ve lost track how many times! Our expectations were high having seen your work on your website and we were not at all disappointed! So many of our guests have praised your work too saying that they are most lovely wedding photos they have ever seen- and we agree! What an honour it was to work with you also. You are clearly passionate about people, which reflects in your work and this really put us all at ease. We were also impressed by you that your presence was felt but was not intrusive on what is a very personal occasion.
In every picture you capture the atmosphere of our day and on every face you see all the emotions that went with it. We are eternally grateful to you for that, because those photos will be our lasting and cherished memory of that joyous occasion.
We wish you all the best for 2009- for a happy, healthy and successful year ahead and envy those people who are yet to meet with you and work with you. You are a truly talented man and we feel very privileged to have met you.
With fondest wishes and love from,
Carolyn and Stephane Hayball from London

Manuel photographed our wedding in Les Baux de Provence in September 2007. It was difficult for us as we live in New York and were trying to organize a wedding from far away. From the first time I spoke to Manuel, I knew that it was going to be a great experience. He was professional and returned my emails immediately giving me detailed price quotations and examples of his excellent work. Manuel was extremely pleasant to have around at our wedding, we felt like he was a part of the family by the end of the day. We loved his photographs as we feel that he was able to capture the fun relaxed atmosphere of the day in the most natural way.
I hope to have the occasion to work with you again in the future!!

Hello Manuel!!,
I have thought of you often over this past (almost) year ... but still have not written a testamonial.
Would you still like one?
I don't know if I ever told you but I have had nothing but compliments and praise over the amazing pictures that you took of our day in Grasse! And to be honest, I think that a lot of my married friends have been jealous! :)
Since we didn't have any one there to share the day with, your pictures allowed us to convey the emotion of the day in absence. We adored working with you and I have promoted you to everyone that I know who is thinking about getting married in Europe!
I wish you nothing but the best in your future works and consider finding your website the most fortunate kismet of our adventure! You are a generous soul and I can't thank you enough.
Most sincerely,
Joanne & Kevin, from Toronto, Canada

Dear Manuel,
It is difficult to put into words how grateful we are to you for the truly beautiful photographs you took that captured our wedding perfectly! Your energy and enthusiasm on the day had all our guests talking and you were a joy to be around. You are so passionate about what you do and it really shows in your photographs. Every single one is a masterpiece and we feel so lucky to have found you. My wedding planner and friend Sarah is telling all her clients about you. She told me your photographs are the most amazing she has seen from all the weddings she has organized!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we wish you all the best for the future and hope to see you again soon!
All our love
