"This past summer, we hired Manoj Pateel to photograph our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for
a better photographer.
Even before we received the pictures from our wedding, we felt completely satisfied in our choice.
He has the perfect personality for the job. He is congenial, friendly, and very hardworking.
He didn’t stop snapping pictures the entire weekend, including the rehearsal and other pre-wedding activities.
He gets in the action to get the photo, but he is completely unobtrusive. We didn’t even know he was there most of the time.
His sincere and spontaneous smile makes the people being photographed feel comfortable.
Then we saw the pictures. We have innumerable shots and they are all very impressive. There was a perfect mix of artistic shots
and formal ones, almost all of which are stunning."

"Manoj is skilled at putting a person at ease and getting them to forget about the camera and just have fun.
The result is better photos and a shooting session everyone can enjoy!"
Sean Ansorge
"I've had several wonderful photo sessions with Manoj. He quickly makes me comfortable and relaxed. He happily
worked with my ideas as well as suggested poses. I am very happy with my photographs and believe he brought out my true personality.
I would use him again and highly recommend him as a professional photographer."
An Tran
"When Manoj takes photographs, you are not just a still flower, but part of the process. He lets you know what
he's thinking in trying to get a shot, asks for your opinion on different ideas, gets excited when he sees something amazing,
and listens to you when you have concerns. It definitely makes for a very comfortable photo shoot."
Chikai Ohazama
"Manoj Patel is very grounded, the moment I entered his studio I was at ease. Manoj made the session very creative
and energizing thru out. It was amazing how encouraging and freeing the photo shoot was, it felt like play!
The headshots captured the real me."
Suzanne Serangeli
"I feel very comfortable with my photo session with Manoj. Not only is he a talented photographer, but also his
patient and soothing nature made me feel at ease. I was able to relax and have fun with the shoot!"
Emily Adams
"Manoj has the unique talent of just walking around the block with you, getting you into a relaxed mood, and once
you're completely yourself, he has the 'magic finger' to capture photos which will truly surprise you, because they
bring out the best in you in a very natural way."
