about me
Since 2005 I took interest in photography. Throughout the years I’ve been asked and gotten the privilege to photograph for friends & family, events, and advertisements. Shortly but surely, photography became my passion. This year in 2015, with the support of God, family, and friends, I decided to take it on full-time.
My wife has always been my number one supporter, recently she has joined me and we have become a team to make this dream come to life. As a couple, we both have strong attention to detail, and with her eyes and a creative twist of my own, we are able to create unlimited possibilites. We are still growing as photographers and welcome challenge. We strive to make our clients vision come to life and are always open to new ideas.

THANK YOU PAUL!
Dan and I had initally planned on getting married August of this year. Then, right after Valentine's Day, we had decided to cancel the big wedding and elope instead in March. We quickly got in touch with Paul and hired him as our wedding photographer, he is amazing! Little did we know what were in for, Covid and the shutdown took us by surprise and hit us with unexpected changes to our special day. For as small of a timespan we had to plan for the wedding, Paul showed up big time. Dan and I are both somewhat quiet even shy people by nature but that didn't stop Paul from getting us out of our comfort zone! It didn't take long for us to connect with him, Paul is warm and friendly, we felt at ease while he took our photos. Paul is an experienced photographer, we could tell that by how he directed the shots and how he was mindful of the time. He was very professional and worked well with our videographer. Our family noted how well mannered, helpful and great they both were. I think what I loved now looking back at our wedding photos is how natural it all looks and how we could still feel all the love and joy that day brought us. Paul was able to capture all the beautiful moments of our special day and we are so grateful that we decided to go with him as our photographer!

Amazing photographer, you won't regret hiring them!
My husband and I had to postpone our wedding and planned our covid wedding in 4 weeks and we were so lucky to have Paul with us as our photographer for the little time that we had in communicating with him. He listened to all of our concerns and accommodated all of our needs, everything from budget to our hectic schedule and all of the restrictions that kept on changing, he adapted around them so well. He photographed our wedding pictures just as exactly as how we felt on our wedding day. He really does take the most beautiful candid photos! Everything looks so natural because he made us so comfortable and at ease. I still remember being stressed and time-pressed when I was getting ready. My bridesmaids were all in their zone, both of my moms were also pre-occupied with how excited they were and no matter how much I pressed on with saying "we should go, please hurry up!" lol I truly didn't feel like anyone in that room was hearing the stress and anxiety in my voice, but I remember he just looked at me, smiled and said something like "everything is going to be perfect, don't worry about the time, just focus on yourself... even if we are a little late, remember the wedding is not going to start without you". Hearing him say that, I immediately felt the stress and the worries just completely fade. It was so thoughtful for him to reassure me and I truly believe it was one of the reasons why I looked so relax and carefree in my photos despite all the worries and stress I felt on that day. My husband and I are so grateful for his work and most of all for being so understanding in respecting the limitations we had as a covid-wedding couple. Thank you Paul for capturing our wedding and for making us truly focus on what truly mattered on our special day. :)

Speechless!
Thank you for capturing this perfect moment that we’ll be able to look back and cherish for a lifetime. You helped create ever-lasting memories with the amazing photos you took on our elopement shoot. We appreciated your flexibility in these hard times and rebooking our session to a much earlier date. We’re forever grateful to have you as our photographer.
Paul drove through heavy rain and snow to meet us at our location. Thank you for calming our nerves about the bad weather. You patiently waited for a break in the rain to get the perfect outdoor shot and you did. You really did. We spent the next hour taking the most breath-taking photos by the beautiful Mt Rainer. You made everything feel so natural in front of the camera, directing hand placement, loose flowing hair, body positioning and poses. Your attention to detail is incomparable. Thank you once again and we’re excited for our wedding day to come to spend it with you!

Best photographer ever!
Paul Maranan is beyond amazing, and ridiculously talented. He does it all, from engagement, to weddings to lifestyle family photos. I've had the pleasure of working with Paul on multiple occasions and he never disappoints. Not only is he really flexible. He helps direct you and your loved ones for the perfect picture. His endless support through the entire process is what really makes all the difference in making you feel comfortable. I don't know about you, but personally I feel awkward getting photographed and Paul's guidance is truly wonderful and he makes it feel relaxed and at ease. You can tell he's super genuine, and passionate about his work. If you're read this much about him, do yourself the favor and book him now, you won't be disappointed. You'll have beautiful, amazing photos that you can cherish for the rest of your life.

Stop your search right now!
I PROMISE! My husband and I, had the pleasure of watching Paul in action at two weddings and I knew (even before my husband proposed) that Paul HAD to be our photographer. Working with Paul was an effortless and genuine experience, he was easy to contact and would respond quickly to any questions big or small. On our wedding day he was professional and personable and he even took the time to snap a few pics on his phone and shared them with us the very next day! He's not demanding and will go with the flow to get the right shot. He works hard and is committed to capturing your special moments. Because of all of his hard work, we now consider Paul to be apart of our extended family and I can't say it enough he is the one you want on our wedding day!

Exceeded Expectations!
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. From our engagement photos up to our wedding day, each picture captured is perfect, whilst making us feel totally relaxed, especially for the bride that can feel super awkward in front of a camera. We could not be happier with the end result.
Not only is he fun to work with, but he was super flexible. As many other couples have also experienced this year due to the global pandemic, our wedding plans changed drastically. We had to move to a different location (which was much further than our original) and our itinerary ended up being a far more laid back and intimate wedding ceremony and reception. Despite all these changes, Paul was very accommodating and understanding. We were grateful for his flexibility, as he was able to still commit to being our wedding photographer.
His incredible work is what we are left with to provoke the memories on our very special day. We would happily recommend him to anyone!
