“Geoff did a family photo shoot for us. We shot it at Carkeek Park on a beautiful sunny day. The photos were AMAZING! My husband has since passed away and Geoff's photos are our greatest treasure. We will truly cherish them for decades to come. He captured Andy's whimsical personality and love for his family beautifully. Every time I walk past the portrait of Andy's smiling face I know he is watching over us. We will be forever grateful to Geoff for the incredible memories he gave our family. Geoff is a gifted artist and photographer. Thanks so much!” Trish hired you as a Photographer in 2008 Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Good Value March 9, 2011</p>

More recently he has been a member of an on-going teleconference and has shared his knowledge and experience with a variety of members. I have watched Geoff's creativity and interests evolve.

His lifestyle is enhanced by his love for storytelling. He is the ultimate combination of artist and craftsman. I recommend him highly.” March 8, 2011</p>

“It is difficult to ONLY choose three of the listed attributes for Geoff, because in my opinion, they all apply to him. He photographed a ceremony we had in August 2000, with a guest count of about 150 people. I have to say that the work he provided was absolutely beautiful, and very professional. Geoff was respectful of all the people in attendance. And as I am an aspiring and struggling photographer, Geoff has even helped guide me with information I have needed, and has provided feedback and critique on work I have done. I highly recommend Geoff for all your photography needs, as he indeed creates some incredible images.” March 9, 2011 Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Good Value</p>

“I met Geoff when I first moved to Seattle over 20 years ago. I have worked with him on film shoots of mine and photography shoots of his. He is a world-class photographer. I really like his work with infrared film and his portrait and group photography really captures the soul of the individuals at their core eseence. I think his greatest subjects are people and they are also his passion in his work. I would recommend Geoff Manasse for photography work anywhere in the world. His images are available worldwide on Getty.” March 9, 2011 Liz hired you as a Photographer in 1995 Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity</p>

"In earlier campaigns for elected office a friend or volunteer would take the pictures for our literature. We saved money, but did not connect with the voters. Then I hired Geoff, and immediately realized that his pictures actually told the story we were seeking to communicate. For four more campaigns I hired Geoff Manasse because his photos saved me money by making my brochures and advertisements work for the voters."</p>
