Meet Manny.
Hi, I’m Emmanuel Ogunnubi, most people call me Manny. I’m a wedding photographer based in Banbury, covering Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds and beyond.
I picked up a camera professionally in 2016 when my wife started a YouTube channel and needed help filming and creating thumbnails. Week after week, I found myself falling in love with the process. Not just taking photos, but capturing moments that feel real. Since then, photography has become my craft and my way of telling stories, whether that’s a quiet look between two people, a big laugh during speeches, or the chaos and joy on the dance floor.
My Approach and What its like working with me
My style is natural, colourful and story-led. I focus on the moments you felt, not just the moments you posed for.
On your wedding day, you won’t get a stranger barking orders and following you around all day. You’ll get a calm presence who blends in, keeps things moving when needed, and helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I’ll guide you gently during portraits, then step back so you can enjoy your day.
I’m big on making your wedding experience easier. Planning can feel overwhelming, so I help with the parts couples often get stuck on, like building a simple timeline that protects your time together, planning group photos so they’re quick, and sharing helpful supplier recommendations if you want them.
Most of my couples say the same thing afterwards: “It felt easy.” That’s the goal. Real smiles always look better than forced ones, and you deserve photos that look like you, not a performance
When I’m not photographin weddings….
If I’m not holding a camera, I’m usually travelling, editing with a coffee, or spending time with my wife and our two daughters. Family means everything to me, and that’s probably why I’m so drawn to capturing connection and celebration.
Feel free to follow along on Instagram, I share plenty of behind-the-scenes and recent work there.
Let’s tell your story
If you’re planning a wedding and want relaxed, heartfelt images with beautiful colour and honest emotion, I’d love to hear from you.
