Engaged: Beth & Matt | San Dimas, Ca

7/24/2014

0 Comments

 

Sometimes the love of your life lives only a few doors down and you'd never know it unless you had a super cool neighbor that introduces the two of you! This is exactly what happened to Matt & Beth, their neighbor thought that they would hit it off. Obviously this neighbor was RIGHT! Matt charmed Beth with his sweet smile!  and good cooking! After five years of building an awesome relationship, a furry little family (3 dogs),  and exploring new places, Matt thought it was time to make Beth his wife!

They planned a trip to Hawaii, Beth had no clue that this would be the trip that Matt proposes! Matt has always been a fan of sunsets, so it was totally normal for him to set up a camera on a tripod to record it. They sipped on their cold beer, chatting it up waiting for the sun to set. Before she knew it Matt was down on his knees and she was in tears! She missed the beautiful sunset but came out with a gorgeous ring and new fiance instead – totally worth it!

We had such a fun time during their engagement session! Beth and Matt are so sweet together! They compliment each other perfectly! And their dogs are tooo doggone CUTE!!! I'm so excited for their wedding this summer!!!

A couple of months ago I had a mentor session with Meghan Wiesman and she invited me to shoot along with her and her second shooter at a wedding to complete my mentor session. I was beyond thrilled! The wedding took place at the South Hills Country Club in West Covina California. Carly & Nick were such a sweet couple. Their love radiated in every photo. It was so cute because they couldnt keep their hands off of each other! Enjoy their beautiful wedding below and Special thanks to Meghan for allowing me to shoot beside you! You Rock!

Engaged : Karina & Tony {Claremont & Diamond Bar, CA}

7/8/2014

If you believe in fate then you are gonna adore Tony & Karina's love story!

It all began when Tony was 3 yrs old and Karina was 6. Their older brothers were good friends and they lived right down the street from each other. Their families became great friends but after high school they slowly lost contact after Karina's family moved.  

Seven years later they were brought back together by Tony's older brother. Karina was no longer the little girl he had rode his bike with, she had grown into a gorgeous woman and he knew he had to have her -especially after she kicked his butt in air hockey during their first date. They hit it off immediately and after two months of dating they were boyfriend and girlfriend!

Tony knew that he had found his "one" and after almost two years of dating he popped the question in Miami while they were on vacation. He took her to a fancy dinner overlooking the ocean. After dinner, they walked the boardwalk along the water. Even though it was already dark, he wanted to take a picture so he asked a couple nearby to take one of them. In the middle of taking the picture, Tony drops down on one knee and proposes! Karina was in total shock, speechless, crying... then Tony says, "well will you…"
All she could do was nod her head and she finally said "yes"!

Tony and Karina are adorable together! They compliment each other perfectly! I had a blast photographing them, it was so easy because their love just naturally oozes! Scroll down and see for yourself :)

They chose to take photos at a park near their house where they used to ride their bikes as kids to go catch tadpoles in the creek. Love that they chose a sentimental location!

    I'M JANELLE MARINA
    Wife, Mama Shark, + Photographer.

    Most days, you'll find me in mismatched socks and a top knot, working behind my computer with a smile on my face, listening to Zac Brown Band and R&B  
    --or, dancing in the kitchen with my 3 littles and hunka husband, seeing who could come up with the coolest dance moves. I'm a wedding photographer, West Elm lover, aspiring advocate for our buddies with special needs, and a Certified Dreamer since 1986. We live in a cozy city in Southern California and are always up for a good adventure. ​I enjoy telling stories with my camera, grubbing on spicy food, and solving the latest Dateline case.
