Choosing a photographer for my wedding was one of the most difficult decisions for me. I'm a pretty decisive person, and I found it difficult to decide because there are a myriad of photography styles and countless photographers in Miami. I met with 9 photographers and when I met Manolo I was hooked. These details coupled with his his incredible eye, make him a true artist and businessman. I would certainly recommend Manolo Doreste to anyone that craves creative memories instead of just another posed photo.

Manolo of course is at the absolute top of his game in photography, his vision to find the shots is unbelievable at times, but for me the most important thing about choosing a wedding photographer and the reason for choosing Manolo was the complete client experience, the interaction with us from day one was great, he made us feel at ease in front the camera at all times and made the experience extremely enjoyable. We cannot thank Manolo enough, and recommend his services as an elite photographer.

What can I say about Manolo Doreste? One thing I can for sure say is that Manolo is more of a friend to our family. I first met him through my sisters sweet 16th photo shoot in New York City, and I just knew that the day I was going to get married, he was the person I wanted! His photography is amazing, he will literally do whatever it takes for a shot. Manolo did our engagement, wedding, pregnancy photos, and baby's first photographs. Manolo has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He is a true professional with a lovely personality. Working with him is like a friend is taking your pictures! The environment is very fun and energetic! His work is literally the best out there!

There are no words to describe Manolo. His commitment to perfection and efficiency are perfectly paired with warmth and comfort. This left us with an absolutely perfect experience. His team is just amazing. We planned our wedding from a distance as we are out-of-towners and they made the process seem so effortless. We met Manolo a few months ago and on the initial meeting, I left feeling like he had been a friend for a long time. Our engagement shoot was just amazing and on our wedding weekend welcome reception and wedding, Manolo was there, working his magic. His work is unparalleled and we are already thinking of ways to work with him and his team again.

Manolo was my first photography inspiration and still is. Manolo isn’t one of the best in the business - he IS the best in the business. What makes Manolo the best:
1. He curates your photographic experience,
2. He plans, scopes the venue in advance,
3. He takes an interest in YOUR style,
4. He takes interest in knowing the couple,
5. He has excellent organization and planning skills, and
6. His office is excellent with communication.
Manolo, Thank you for giving us the gift of memories - memories of the most magical day of our lives.

Did our highly regarded photographer not only exceed expectations but also take command during disorganized moments with a wedding party of 25+ while also not overwhelming a crowd of over 200 guests? Fascinating: this is how we describe Manolo’s ability to capture emotional elements during moments of the ceremony and reception and deliver hands-on direction for creating cinematic snapshots. He is not just a photographer, he is an artist using a palette of chaos, emotion, love, and stress to paint a beautiful mural of one of the most special experiences in our lifetime. His team’s creativity and professionalism can easily be seen when gazing through our engagement photos or in our wedding photos celebrating love.

If I could give 10 stars I would and would still attempt more, wow!! Where do I begin? We found Manolo for our Engagement Shoot and what a blessing that was! What a selfless caring person! Our business relationship has blossomed into a friendship and now family! Manolo’s professionalism, attention to detail, and artistic eye far surpass expectations. We have worked with Manolo for over a decade & I have grown up in front of his lens. Engagement to Wedding to Pregnancy to Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year ... this list goes on and on and will continue to grow as my family continues to grow. Needless to say, we love Manolo as a photographer and a friend! I would, and do recommended Manolo to anyone I care for as long as there’s still photo shoot time for me !!! Kidding but not.

Working with Manolo will be the best decision you'll make in your wedding planning! My husband and I are beyond thrilled with our experience working with Manolo Doreste. Manolo was professional and warm from the first meeting and working with him was a lot of fun. He captured our moments just as we wanted and did it beautifully. Our photos look like they belong in a magazine while still showcasing the love and emotion of our special day. We have established a lifelong relationship with Manolo and can’t wait for him to capture the many milestones in our lives.
