Paul D Manke Photography

Paul was amazing. His photos are truly beautiful. I totally disagree with the one bad review. Although Paul is busy, he does get back to you. He asks for inspiration photos and goes out of his way to capture each of them. Paul even came from the Green Bay area to Minneapolis where we lived to shoot our engagement photos with no extra fee. Paul went through all the photos he took and weeded out what I assume we're the bad ones. He doesn't do much editing, but he doesn't have to because his photos are great as they are. Paul stayed over an hour past his contracted time, and even was helping setup food for our reception, and played soccer with my 4 year old niece. Paul was kind and gracious and knew all the names of the immediate family before he arrived. He left our reception about 8:30pm and had a first batch of wedding photos to us by 11:30pm that same night. I would highly recommend Paul for your wedding photography. You won't be disappointed!

Paul was my photographer for my High School Senior Photos 10 years ago, and even back then I knew I needed him as my wedding photographer. Paul has a great personality and is so easy to get along with. I love his style and trust him to get great shots all day long. He tried to make me laugh and remain lighthearted, even in the rain. I will gladly come to Paul for any future photo needs.

Paul was a bit hard to get ahold of leading up to my wedding as he stated he was busy with two other jobs. Our photos felt rushed after the wedding ceremony and then Paul left before our reception. His second photographer, whom we had never met and she had no idea about our wants for the day, came to capture the rest of our wedding, and there were very few pictures of our first dances which were really important to us When we received our photos in the mail, they seemed like he had just thrown our photos on a jump drive and sent them out. There was no weeding out of bad/unnecessary images and very little editing on our photos. My husband and I had to weed through nearly 800 photos to find some to have printed for our home. I see so many gorgeous photos on his Facebook page of these weddings and I just feel that our wedding was rushed and he didnt take the time to make our day memorable. Im upset because our wedding day cannot be recaptured, its done and over with. We paid a lot of money to have quality photos taken and I just feel like we didnt get that.
