Photographs Embedded with Light & Silence

Portrait and Event photographer, based in the north of uk.

I don’t just take pictures — I capture moments that hit different. I specialize in portrait and event photography that tells a story with emotion, depth, and bold authenticity. My style is raw, real, and unapologetically expressive. I focus on the in-between moments — the genuine laughs, quiet glances, and everything that makes you unforgettable. Every photo I deliver is crafted to not only look amazing but to feel powerful, personal, and timeless. If you’re after images that speak louder than words, you’re in the right place.

I had an absolutely amazing experience working with Mannie. The photos for my baby’s engagement were taken with keen attention to details. They were edited excellently. Loved working with him. Would recommend 100%

Femi & Ore

Truly amazing experience – especially with our little one!

Working with manniesnaps was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail truly set them apart. They made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire shoot and knew exactly how to capture the perfect moments.

Their patience and kindness with our baby truly stood out. They took their time, never rushed us, and were so gentle and engaging with our little one, which made all the difference. Thanks to their calm and flexible approach, we were able to capture the most precious moments — genuine smiles, sweet glances, and even a few laughs!

The final photos exceeded all expectations, every image was beautifully composed, vibrant, and full of emotion. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it shows in their work.

If you’re looking for a talented, reliable, and passionate photographer, I highly recommend MANNIESNAPS. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!
