The Sanadas

Hiring Marianne and Joe was hands-down the best wedding decision we made! I fell in love with their work early on in our wedding planning and no other Ventura County/Los Angeles area photographers could compare. They are photography wizards and worth every penny. (Seriously, you could get married in a cardboard box and Marianne and Joe would make it the most breathtaking shoot you’ve ever seen). We adore our photos because they are beautiful, but natural – we look like ourselves. They truly captured the entire feeling of our wedding day, which was exactly what we wanted. Not only are Marianne and Joe incredibly talented, they were communicative and organized every step of the way. Plus, they’re just a delight to be around. Since our wedding, our parents, bridal party, and guests have made numerous compliments about Marianne and Joe and said how they made everyone feel comfortable. They’re genuinely nice, thoughtful people and it shows in the way that they work. We are so happy we found Marianne Wilson Photography and we highly recommend them to anyone searching for the perfect photographers!

This husband-wife duo are absolutely amazing. They both are just great people to be around, even if they weren’t taking our pictures. During the planning process, they were highly available to answer all our questions and responded in a very timely manner. They were always thorough in their instructions, and their FAQ on their website was very helpful when planning and making decisions for the day. Their online tools to communicate timelines and preferences were also helpful and easy to use. When deciding on packages, they never pressured us into anything – although their work was so great that we wished we could order every add-on possible! Both sets of photo shoots – the engagement session and the wedding day – came out so beautifully. They were even kind enough to feature our engagement shoot on their blog! They were so patient with us and fulfilled all our requests for types of shots to be taken. We made them travel outside of the Los Angeles area for our wedding, and in spite of never seeing the venue before, they placed us in stunning locations and took even more beautiful pictures. Also, in spite of encountering technical difficulties during a busy wedding season, they still managed to return our wedding photos to us so quickly! Our album and our parents’ albums came out beautifully as well. Extremely high quality photos and materials, and we know it will last forever. I truly loved working with Marianne Wilson Photography. I highly, highly recommend them!

Marianne and Joe are the first and only photographers that we met with. We responded immediately to their warmness, their ease with each other, their humor, and of course, their incredible portfolio. They're always reachable and respond quickly to emails/calls. And I have to applaud them for efficiently handling our giant wedding party (20 ppl) on the big day. They are PROS through and through...and just genuinely lovely people.

Marianne and Joe are just absolutely the best! They have an unbelievable ability to capture the perfect moments with the perfect lighting. In addition to capturing the candids, they did a great job helping us get through all of our family formals. We chose them because we thought they were great with outdoor lighting and they didn't disappoint. I would 110% recommend them for anyone getting married in the southern california area and double that if you're getting married outdoors.
