Best photographers in the business

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!!!

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 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!

If you are looking for a wedding photography team, look no further than Marianne Wilson Photography! Marianne and Joe Sanada are a husband and wife duo who are absolutely amazing photographers and wonderful people. They came to do our engagement photos, and it was immediately apparent that they knew their stuff! They are also really friendly and put you at ease. They also came with me to tour our venue to make sure there were plenty of great places to shoot portraits on the day of. On the day of the wedding they were absolute lifesavers. You can tell they are truly pros. The day would not have run as smoothly if it weren't for Joe and Marianne. Their attention to detail is so wonderful. Not only were they paying attention to photos, etc. but helped with flowers (I'm pretty sure Joe may have pinned my husband's boutonniere on him), and certain other parts of the day. They also showed up earlier than scheduled, which was nice as that put me at ease too. Now, on to the pictures. They are amazing! Repeat, amazing! I loved our engagement photos, and our wedding photos are just as fabulous. They captured every detail and so many special moments. I really got to re-live our wedding day just looking through all of the beautiful images. All of my friends who have seen the photos are in awe of them. I feel so fortunate to have had such a professional, talented, friendly group to capture such a magical day. The turnaround time for the photos was super fast as well. Marianne Wilson Photography = Perfection. Their prices are still reasonable, and I think they are worth a lot more. Priceless. Hire them.
