Photography isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. Led by award-winning photographer Paul Manoian, we are all about pushing boundaries and creating images that reflect your individuality. Paul’s passion for photography started in his early teens, exploded during his time at the University of Michigan, and has since grown into a full-fledged, highly acclaimed career. Recognized as one of best photographers in Detroit, he’s been voted #1 for Best Portrait Photography in Detroit and southeast Michigan. Whether it’s senior pictures bursting with personality, family portraits filled with genuine connection, professional headshots that stand out in any industry, or engagement and wedding photography that captures every heartfelt moment, Paul Manoian Photography delivers experiences and images that are authentically, unapologetically you.
Paul was great! We unintentionally gave him many challenges (time constraints, last minute accessibility, weather changes, unexpected surprises) and he overcame them all with professionalism and creativity making our senior picture experience awesome, not to mention the pictures captured exactly what we had hoped for!
