WOW

We just got this recommendation from a couple we shot 2 weeks ago.

"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. "
