The Sanadas

Welcome to our little corner of the internet! We are Marianne and Joe, a husband and wife wedding photo duo who love life, adventuring with our Australian Cattle Dog Arya, good food, and, of course, photographing amazing couples and their incredible moments. We started our wedding photography business together in 2008 as we were both finishing up school (Art School for Marianne and Law School for Joe). Since then, we have photographed over 350 awesome weddings! We can't wait to be a part of your adventure too!

We love weddings because we get to capture moments that hit us right in the feels. We love weddings because we get to manipulate light to elevate our ideas. We love weddings because we get to capture epic images in amazing places. We love weddings because we get to tell our couples' funny stories in photos. We are honored that our couples share such important moments with us. We love what we do, and we would love to photograph you too!

Meet Marianne

Hey there! I'm Marianne! Guide me to an epic sweet treat, a delicious dish, or an adorable dog and BOOM! We just became best friends! I am a health and fitness enthusiast. But I am also very enthusiastic about pizza, previously mentioned sweet treats, and champagne (or a good ol' fashioned gin n tonic.) I love going out and trying new things. Seeing a comedian live, going to tapings of my favorite shows, seeing live bands, traveling. It's all the best! (Bonus info: Joe swears that he is a total hermit, but he always admits that he had a great time after we go out on adventures). Have you ever met someone who is allergic to a color? You have now! I'm allergic to blue food coloring. I went to an arts-based high school where I studied photography and then I got my Bachelor of Fine Arts for photography at Cal Arts in Valencia. Photography has been my life for almost 2 decades. (You really want to know about our puppy don't you? )

Meet Joe

Our Dog Arya

Arya is our Australian Cattle Dog and our constant companion. She is the inspiration behind many of our creative ideas and is always there to brighten up our day.
