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.

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!!!

The absolute best!!!! Couldn't be happier with how professional both Joe and Marianne were but so loving and helpful. Our photos turned out incredible!

Where to start? Marianne and Joe are AWESOME! They made our wedding process so much fun and memorable!
Marianne and Joe made us feel comfortable just being us and helped direct us in “natural” poses. We definitely got our practice in during our engagement session at the Carondelet House. They really captured the heart of who we are and their creativity really showed in both our engagement and wedding photos. Their work speaks for itself. We love both of our Light painting photos...thank you!!! They are soooooo warm and kind that we always wanted to keep in touch during the planning process. They are efficient and very quick with their responses, and always open to suggesting ideas. Their calm and friendly presence on the day of the wedding was very much appreciated, and it felt like we were just hanging out and having a good time as the day went on. Marianne and Joe definitely helped us feel "present". We can't say THANK YOU enough for the beautiful memories they captured during our engagement and wedding days!! We hope we can work with them again!

Joe and Marianne were delightful to work with. They were timely, organized and so good at what they do.

I would recommend them to any and everyone, truly! They were such fun people to have taking pictures. They showed up on time and took amazing pictures. My husband and I were looking through them last night and we were soooo happy with their work.

I cannot say enough good things about them. If you know what’s good for ya, hire them! You will NOT regret it. From start to finish, they were amazing! ❤️

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!

I cannot say enough kind words about Marianne and Joe and their wedding photography! A few of my sorority sisters used them and they were instantly my favorite of the handful we researched. Our initial Skype meeting with them was a great way to get to know one another and sealed the deal for us immediately. They were nothing but a pleasure to work with during our entire wedding experience. We really like how they run their pricing-they essentially have a flat rate, which includes engagement and wedding, and then there are album and extra hours you can add-on. I appreciated this because I have a theory those that pay higher prices get more attention, service, etc. This eliminates all of that. You receive a USB for both engagement and wedding, no watermarks, so you can print your own photos. They also have this service if you want. They are such a pleasure to work with, very down to earth, like having your pictures taken by a friend, except every picture they take is FAB! They have such a good eye, very timeless, which is exactly what we wanted-classic, clean, timeless photos. They are beyond organized and assist you with everything so no detail is left out. Extensive planning sheets and they even helped me with my entire day-of timeline, broken up into 15 min increments. Now THAT is service. We received our photos in about 3 weeks (!!) and oh my goodness, it was like watching a movie going through them. We purposefully did not hire a videographer and there was simply no need with our pics. These two know exactly what they're doing-all you need to do is be present and they take care of the rest. They have a walkie system for day of, which allows them to be uber organized, timely, and efficient. We are absolutely thrilled with our photos and the experience-we would hire them again in a heartbeat!

We LOVE Marianne and Joe!! I obsessed with finding the "perfect" photographers, and pored over many different photography blogs before I fell in love with theirs. Our booking with them included an engagement photoshoot, which was breathtakingly beautiful, and they helped us select the perfect locations for this (and were very helpful with our outfitting questions beforehand). They are not only professional and shoot gorgeous photos, but they are also such fun people to be with, and they made our wedding day fun and comfortable. Joe even patiently helped my husband's groomsmen figure out how to put on boutonnieres, and Marianne instantly put all my bridesmaids and family members at ease. They worked incredibly well with our videographers as well, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for photographers.

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 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.
