Thee Bound and Branch
Hi, I am Justin Manganiello.
I am a photographer based in Western New York. I am passionate when it comes to capturing those timeless in-between moments. I am a cat dad of my favorite boy Evander. I also have 2 wonderful children and a few foster kids who mean the world to me. I enjoy adventures of all sorts. Did you say tacos and tequila? I'm in! When I'm not shooting, you can find me either hiking, tending to my ridiculous amount of houseplants, playing video games, or drawing. I specialize in weddings, couples, family and singles photo shoots.
I love meeting new clients and getting the opportunity to capture moments that they can cherish for a lifetime. The only thing I love more is when clients become lifelong friends!
Let's capture memories together!
MEET CEDRIC!
I am the other head photographer! I have always had a passion for photography for as long as I can remember. Working with an amazing photographer is such a great time. When I'm not shooting you can find me kayaking, fishing, or camping usually. Proud dad of my 3 furbabies Lilly, Saddie, and Khloe. And 2 amazing kids, and foster a few incredible children.
Going on photo sessions and working with people is the highlight of my day. Always so many laughs and great times!

We were nervous to have a family photo shoot. Our kids are 8,3, & 1, and we were worried the kids wouldn’t smile, or cooperate.... but Bound and Branch put us at ease! They are so professional, and so helpful.
We scheduled a 30 minute fall mini shoot, and we will definitely be booking a full shoot for Christmas in the near future!
The pictures that were captured of our family, are AMAZING. They captured the “realness” of who we are.
Thank you s”
