David Manning Photographers Bloggin bio picture

Welcome to dmp bloggin!

I'm a big believer in living life to it's fullest and for the most part, you'll find a smile on my face!  That's the short story about me.  The long story includes a passion for photography, playing my guitar, surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, hockey, mountain biking, skydiving and more!

I like good coffee in the morning, and good wine at night.  Cooking combines three of my favorite things, creativity, food, and friends. So you can often times find me in the kitchen making an Italian family recipe.  You're welcome at my house anytime!  Just bring a smile, an appetite, and if you want to score big points, a bottle of red wine!  (Oh, and don't be afraid to have your picture taken.  If you're here, it's bound to happen!)

All of these activities are amazing, but they would not be nearly as fun or possible at all if it weren't for God, my family, and my friends.  These three are the most important to me, and I cannot thank them enough for supporting me on this amazing journey!

ZACK AND JENNIFER | JULIAN, CA – PART 2 OF 2

Happy Monday!  As I’m writing this blog, I’m listening to some Garth Brooks while wearing a cowboy hat and chewing some dip!  Okay, only the Garth Brooks part is true, but what can I say, these two just stir up the country in me!  Plus, I put a Rascal Flatts song to the slideshow that I brought to deliver Zack and Jenn’s images and Zack told me those guys are wusses in the country music world.  So Garth it is!  Matching this post “Two of a Kind, Workin’ on a Full House” is currently playing ;)

If you haven’t checked out Part 1 of Zack and Jenn’s engagement session, go check that out by clicking here.  If you have seen that already, then let the awesome old rusty truck images begin!  I went out to Julian a few hours earlier and drove up and down endless narrow twisty roads to find the right spots for these two.  When I saw this truck sitting there, I immediately knew this would be one of our stops!



What good would a country shoot in front of an old American truck be without a guitar playing cowboy?  No worries, we’ve got one!  Zack brought one of his guitars out and serenaded Jenn for a few minutes.  It was a really cool moment so I stepped back and let them enjoy it.

This is up there on my list of favorites from Zack and Jenn’s shoot…


Someone call up Taylor Guitars and let them know we have a new magazine ad for them!

This shot of Jenn with Zack hanging out on the truck is another on the top of my list!


Soooo, this was more of an “ask for forgiveness, rather than permission” moments.  We saw this super cool green wall, walked onto the winery’s property, shot, then took off.  Luckily we didn’t need to ask for forgiveness, but either way it would have been entirely worth it!


Oh Julian, you and your gorgeous fields…

Dang… Okay, I’m almost positive that this shot is my favorite!



These two are amazing and luckily you won’t have to wait very long to see their wedding photos!  They’ll be getting married at Jenn’s parent’s property in Ramona on July 14th of this year!  With a couple like this, I know it’s going to be an awesome wedding!  In the mean time, I have some country learning to do from these two!  Pretty sure, I need to pickup some boots and ride a horse!  I’ve got the hat, so the outfit will be complete ;)

July 3, 2010 - 12:17 pm David Manning - I spent quite awhile scouting Julian so that I could shoot in some places that I haven't seen on a ton of other blogs. This gem was just sitting there waiting for us!

June 30, 2010 - 7:04 am Katie - Um, for reals?! Just an awesome truck hanging out in the middle of a gorgeous field?!! I swear David, that's not fair. Incredible shots. :)
