Wow, where to start? So about 6 months ago I contacted Manuela to help me set up a surprise proposal for my boyfriend. After numerous emails and texts, late nights and dedication, she helped me with ideas and places and it turned out to be nothing less than magical! She captured every moment with grace and passion, and her energy was contagious! I would not have wanted anyone else to capture this moment with besides her. Amazing. read more

Amazing experience. Manuela is friendly and the session doubled as a great city tour as we saw some great places that we wouldn't have seen otherwise, and even stopped for some delicious apple pie!

It can be quite a challenge to find a photographer that you like. Some may have the technical knowledge but their photos don't give you any emotions when you look at them. You want someone who captures the most memorable / epic moments and makes people smile when they look at the result. Manuela Hugo is one of those artists. You can literally see that photography is Manuela's passion. This talented young lady has got the eye for the frame and the gift to press the button at the right moment. I'm always happy when I see her at an events, not only because she's a nice, fun person but also because I know that we're gonna get a great photo stream full of beautiful souvenirs in the end. read more

My fiancé and I were in Amsterdam for summer holiday and decided to take pictures. After finding Manuela on Yelp she was exceptionally responsive and gave us recommendations for colors to wear for our 1 hour photoshoot. We were a few minutes late and Manuela was exceptionally accommodating. I originally thought we'd take photographs in one spot but we walked to numerous locations in the Rembrandt area. Manuela was awesome. It was really great to capture Amsterdam scenery on the canals. Not only is Manuela a great photographer but also very personable and shared with us about life in Amsterdam. I would recommend Manuela to anyone wanting to take photographs in Amsterdam. read more

Photography is about capturing that moment in time. That laugh, smile, toast, embrace. When I look at Manuela's photos, I am taken back to the moment they were snapped. I've seen photographers that move around an event awkwardly and don't really know where they fit or what to do. But Manuela fits in with ease snapping photos and interacting with people just enough to have people comfortable with her presence, but not too much that it intrudes with the action. Not that she could be intrusive! She is so pleasant to be around and her smile tells you that she is enjoying what she is doing and is happy to be around the people she's with. I enjoyed meeting Manuela and look forward to seeing her at future events! read more

Wonderful person, as well as a great photographer! She makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed, and the result is just amazing!

We were in Amsterdam in June and had the pleasure of working with Manuela. I cannot even to begin to explain how amazing she is! We scheduled a family shoot (with 2 year old twins) and we all know how challenging that could be. Her bubbly personality and amazing energy got us through one hour of fun and great locations across the city. She went as far as lying down on the street to get the right angle ! A couple of hours after the session she sent us a couple of pictures to give us a flavor of how the shoot went! Yup, you read that right, couple of hours!! The final pictures came out amazing and we couldn't be happier. I cannot recommend Manuela enough. read more

Manuela was incredible! When we contacted her only a week before the day we wanted photos taken, she was prompt to respond and made scheduling easy. She picked a place for us to meet (since we are just visitors in Amsterdam) and had a lot of great locations. We got so many different poses and backgrounds even in just an hour. She was extremely prompt in getting the photos to us (sneak peek within a few hours, photos the next day!), and we loved everything she'd done. She was fun to be around and easy to talk to. We'd definitely recommend her!! read more
