Marianne and Joe were wonderful to work with! They're fun and friendly. They're extremely detail oriented and clear in their communication. They helped put us at ease on the day of, directed us and our families/friends really well, and kept us on time! And best of all, our pictures are GORGEOUS! We're so happy with the whole experience and hope to use them in the future for some family shots.

From their genius behind the camera to their expert advice when it comes to so many details for engagement and wedding day photos, they make everything photo stress free and just fun! They have a true gift when it comes to capturing life's beautiful moments and make you feel so comfortable while doing it! Recommending them to anyone and everyone, you will not be disappointed! :

If you're looking for the most talented and fun photographers around, then look no further. Joe and Marianne are the best in the business, and we were lucky enough to have them do our engagement shoot and their wedding. Let me just give a few reasons why they are so awesome. 1.) THEY HAVE TALENT - these two have an INCREDIBLE eye for good shots and will not only leave you with beautiful photos, but incredibly fun and unique ones that bring your personality out in each and every shot. 2.) THEY ARE FUN AND KIND - saying these two go the extra mile for you would be an understatement.

They are so kind, patient, understanding, and flat out FUN to work with and that is incredibly important when selecting your photographer. 3.) THEY ARE ORGANIZED AND COORDINATED - I almost felt bad for Joe and Marianne with how much they were sprinting around on our wedding making sure everything was perfectly coordinated. They worked hand in hand with our wedding coordinators making sure we got every shot we needed and everything was seamlessly and perfectly coordinated.

Even with all the mayhem of coordinating a wedding, they maintained lighthearted and fun spirits which immediately transferred to my wife and I and helped to make our wedding the best night of our lives. In summary, my wife and I counted our blessings every day with how lucky we got finding these two amazing people to capture our big day. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend the Sanadas! You will be so happy you got them!

It's honestly a shame that it's taken me so long to publicly express my love and appreciation for the Sanadas. Marianne and Joe shot my wedding in 2017 and they were a dream to work with. They're extremely nice, assertive while still being friendly when it's helpful (like when you need help getting into the right pose or corralling family members for a formal photo), nearly invisible at other times (like when they're taking phenomenal candid photos), and all-around a pleasure to work with.

Most importantly, the (many many) final photos they gave us were beyond amazing. I spent a LOT of time researching wedding photographer before deciding to move forward with them and I could not have been happier them and with our photos.

The most incredible photographers, kind people, and an organized business. We hired Marianne and Joe for a photo session while we were visiting California, not sure what to expect, a little skeptical of the price, but the results far outweighed our expectations. During the session, they were great at making us feel at ease, going over what to expect for the photos/session and directing us without being overly involved.

The end results were tons of beautiful pictures ( I seriously have a top 100 photos that I love) and captured memories for a lifetime. You will not go wrong hiring them and it is worth every penny.

The Sanadas were a dream to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding! They made us feel comfortable, took the time to understand what we really wanted and gave us gorgeous photos we will treasure forever. THANK YOU Marianne and Joe!

Marianne and Joe were absolutely amazing! We used them for our engagement shoot and wedding and all of the photos were incredible. Better yet, they're good, honest, caring people who took the time to get to know us in order to capture the best photos of us. I found them through a friend's wedding photos on Facebook and was happy that we had a similar amazing experience! Thank you so much for capturing our love!

Joe and Marianne are absolutely the best photographers to work with. They're super knowledgeable about their craft and they're extremely easy to laugh and have fun with. Their imagines are so colorful and bright. They have a timeless photography style that you will love to look through years later. I can't thank them enough for the work they've done for me.

Marianne and Joe are extremely talented and very easy going. The entire engagement shooting was seamless and they made it very simple, too. We have never worked with photographers so we were a little nervous, but only to found out that the experience was very enjoyable. They would show us the post and have us copy it. They worked EXTREMELY hard to capture the best moments of the evening.

We just received our images this week and the they look absolutely amazing - they are beautiful, but at the same time very natural, which is the reason we picked Marianne Wilson. We can't wait to print out our favorites to decorate our house! Definitely will come back. Thank you for the exceptional service!

I am so glad we booked Marianne Wilson to do our photography! Our photographer was the one vendor I obsessed about finding the "perfect" one, because pictures are the main way we'll remember our wedding. We definitely picked the right vendor. Our pictures from them are beautiful and classic. We have several photos that seriously look like a piece of art.

I couldn't be happier. Marianne and Joe were so much fun to talk to and work with, and they made sure they captured all the people and moments we asked of them. I can't say enough good things about them!

Marianne and Joe are amazing! Not only do they have the ability to capture real, honest moments but they are both the sweetest people to be around on your special day. They shot our wedding, engagement photos and rehearsal dinner and we could not be happier with the images. I had several guests comment on ninja abilities to also be in the right spot at the right time without being intrusive of anyone's experience to be present. Kind, courteous and killer photographers. They are the whole package.

Marianne + Joe are hands down the best photographers I have ever hired! First off, our engagement photos are GORGEOUS! We get people telling us all the time how they've never seen pictures as beautiful as the ones they took of us. They are also the most kind hearted people, which is a huge plus :). I can't wait to get my wedding photos from this weekend.

I have no doubt in my mind they will be incredible. Look no further if you're searching for a dynamic duo photography team that will make all your photo dreams come true! :)

Marianne and Joe are incredibly talented photographers. I highly recommend them for any occasion that calls for professional photography. I first met Marianne and Joe in 2011. They were the photographers for my brother and sister-in-law's engagement and wedding. The photos that Marianne and Joe took for both sessions were some of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen!

They did an excellent job capturing natural moments and making them look spectacular. When I needed professional photographers this year to take photos of me for my new cookbook, I thought Marianne and Joe would be perfect. While I knew their pictures would be gorgeous, what I didn't know is what a joy they would be to work with. My photo shoot with Marianne and Joe was filled with laughter and smiles that helped create beautiful, candid photos for my book.

The pictures that Marianne and Joe took for me were perfect. Not only were their photos exactly what I wanted in terms of quality, but Marianne and Joe also turned the proofs around quickly and provided hundreds of images for me to choose from. When I need professional photographers in the future, I will be returning to Marianne and Joe. They are highly recommended.

Marianne and Joe of Marianne Wilson Photography did an absolutely amazing job of capturing our daughter's wedding in Malibu this past June 2014. The pictures are stunning and everyone who has seen them commented how wonderfully the photographers had caught the moment and feel of the day. Marianne and Joe have shot prior weddings at the Adamson House and their familiarity with the venue truly paid off.

They knew what locations would work best and varied the backgrounds beautifully to take advantage of the uniqueness of the venue and the light at different times. Marianne and Joe were a total pleasure to work with and had a calm but enthusiastic manner from start to finish. We've only seen the highlight photos so far but they're a great selection and each photo is exceptional. Marianne and Joe captured the magic of the day!

I don't even know how to begin saying how great Marianne and Joe is! They are so awesome I just want to go to every person I meet that is getting married, just dating and heck, even single and shake them until they agree to book Marianne and Joe! I am a wedding photographer and a makeup artist so I have seen my share of photographers. As soon as I saw their photos there was no doubt in my mind I wanted, no correct that, NEEDED to book them!

First I set my date with the church, after figuring out what dates they had free in March of course then buckled down and booked them! My engagement shoot went perfectly! (even though I was an hour late because I was meeting them in LA and I was from Orange County) But they were cool about it. The pictures turned out AMAZING. My wedding day was picture perfect, They got my candids I loved, my detail shots and the formals that my parents barked orders for.

I barely noticed them there and they seem to have captured every moment perfectly. I just can't go into all the details about how much I love Marianne and Joe because I would be typing for the rest of my life!
